How to wear clogs in autumn and winter

Clogs are often associated with sunny days. Yet they're one of the easiest shoes to wear from September to March, as long as you choose the right style and the right pairings. Comfortable, quick to slip on and very graphic, they bring a relaxed touch to winter outfits.

In short

When it's really cold, choose a lined clog with a treaded sole.
Trousers that fall over the shoe and warm tones work very well.
Socks are your allies: visible and proudly worn.

Which clog to choose when it's cold?

The lined clog. It's the most comfortable option in the depths of winter. A faux-fur lining that reaches the collar keeps the foot warm, and a treaded sole provides grip on cold or wet ground. That's the whole idea behind our Bormio clog.

The vegan suede clog. In autumn or in dry weather, an unlined clog like the Sienna clog, worn with socks, is more than enough and goes with everything.

5 combinations that work every time

1. Straight jeans and a chunky jumper

Raw or ecru jeans, slightly cropped, a chunky-knit jumper and camel or brown clogs: the ultimate relaxed outfit, for the weekend or an office with no dress code.

2. Wide-leg trousers and a long coat

Flowing trousers that fall over the clog lengthen the silhouette and protect from the cold. Paired with a wool coat, it's an elegant outfit that stays very comfortable.

3. A jumper dress and thick tights

Opaque black or chocolate tights, a knitted dress and a black or brown lined clog: the look is soft, warm and feminine.

4. A midi skirt and visible socks

A pleated or corduroy skirt, cream ribbed socks peeking out of the clog: a very on-trend look. We talk about it in our guide clogs and socks: how to wear them.

5. Chinos for men

Beige or olive chinos, a crew-neck jumper and black or khaki clogs: clogs aren't just for women, and our styles go up to EU size 47.

The colours to go for

In autumn and winter, warm, natural tones are unbeatable: camel, brown, taupe, khaki and black. They match seasonal fabrics (wool, corduroy, denim) and hide everyday marks better. For a bold touch, leopard print livens up a simple outfit.

What about when it rains?

A shower shouldn't make you give up your clogs, but a few precautions are needed: a waterproofing spray applied regularly, air-drying and a quick brush once dry. All the steps are detailed in our article caring for microsuede and vegan suede shoes.
