Birkenstocks are one of the biggest trends right now this summer. This unique style of sandal can be sported anyway from causal to dressed up. They are all over the internet, from Instagram to Pinterest; they are popping up on everyone. They range from the simple two strap look in a neutral color to straps and braids all over and in bright colors.
This Fashionista’s look stood out to me due to the way that she went about styling her shoes. She took her black matte strapped, criss-cross Birkenstocks and made them the center of attention. By wearing a pair of medium wash jeans and a simple black T-shirt and cardigan, the sandals were the center of attention. She also added minimal jewelry with a stone necklace and turtle anklet with gold and silver detailing.
These sandals are a staple summer piece that differ from the classic sandals we all think about when we think of summer. The color range and styles can add that necessary touch to any look. Dressed up or dressed down, they work. I’ve seen them styled with a summer floral dress to the Fashionista look I above.
How To: Don’t know how to sport these shoes? Try wearing them with a more simple look by wearing some jeans or denim shorts and a simple white T-shirt. Include some minimal jewelry and a pair of neutral, classic Birkenstocks. The simple look will let the sandals stand out.
