When I was asked to style a pair of Birkenstocks for the luxury fashion online destination http://www.farfetch.com
I jumped in with both ‘my ugly size four shoes’ .
I discovered a pair several years ago and return to Birkenstocks religiously to wear in a fun and stylish way with camisole dresses, trouser suits and cropped jeans and shirts.

‘Ugly shoes’ may have garnered a big enough following in recent years to legitimately be called a trend, but there’s one chunky sandal that was here long before the rest – the Birkenstock. This previously much-maligned little shoe found itself at the forefront of the fashion world back in 2012, when Phoebe Philo’s fur-lined reinterpretations were seen on the Céline SS13 runway show, sparking a revival that was adopted by stylists, editors and influencers worldwide. Collaborations with high-fashion darlings like Rick Owens and Valentino only cemented the sandal’s position as the late bloomer of ‘it’ footwear.
But slip your feet into a pair of Birkenstocks and you’ll wonder why it took them so long to get there. Environmentally friendly before it was trendy to be, and super comfy thanks to the cork and latex footbed, the Birkenstock is the shoe your feet have been crying out for. And best of all, Birks look great with almost everything, whether you’re dressed up or dressed down, feeling feminine in romantic flowing dresses or formal in tailored trousers.
