“Winter clogs” might sound like an oxymoron, but “fashionable clogs” probably sounds like more of one. Thankfully, neither of these phrases are as contradictory as they might seem; winter clogs are here, and they’re the surprising Scandinavian staple your cold-weather shoe wardrobe needs.

Winter boots work for two reasons: They protect your feet from the elements, and they’re heavy enough to hold their own in an already chunky winter ensemble. (Where daintier footwear options might disappear when paired with your thickest knits and heaviest wools, boots stand their ground.)
Clogs do the same. Their clunky exterior makes for an excellent barrier against the worst of winter weather—and they’ll add the much-needed footwear weight any winter ensemble demands. Think of them as the cold-weather equivalent of the summer mule: ugly-cute, practical and very 2018.

This unique (and unlikely) winter shoe staple might seem intimidating to style—but rest assured, it isn’t. Once you’ve stocked up on a go-to pair of clogs (or two), you can essentially wear them with anything. Style them with a pair of socks peeking out, throw them over classic opaque black stockings, or pair them with heavy knit tights—the options might not be endless, but they’re pretty damn close.
Ahead, you’ll find seven of the trendiest pairs of clogs on the market right now. Many of this season’s clogs feature of-the-moment trends—like Western-inspired metal accents, lace-up fastenings and mid-calf cuts. And even if the ’70s revival look isn’t quite your sartorial speed, the ’90s Birkenstock clog (which was recently updated with shearling lining!!) is here for you.
