A Return to 70's Fashion: The Clog
Perhaps, like me, you are old enough to remember the first time that clogs shoes were in fashion, the 1970's a great decade for fashion. Well, like many trends, what goes around, comes around, and now, clogs are back in fashion.
If you don't remember the 70's, perhaps you were yet to be born, or you are of the age group that holds the adage: if you remember the 70's, you weren't there'! If so, then maybe you are not sure what clogs are. Clogs originate from Holland, the traditional shoe was made of wood, looking similar to a sandal; they are quite chunky and have an open back, the toe is points upwards slightly, and has a rounded design. They are slip on shoes so are very convenient, and now are back in fashion great for those of us who want to look great, without going to too much trouble.
Now that clogs have made a comeback, they no longer stick to the original design. They have been modernised and brought up to date with contemporary fashions. Designers have created various derivations from the traditional style, many have material uppers, and others have added buckles or fringe effects.
Clogs shoes are currently in fashion for men and women alike, here we will consider each one in turn:
Women's clogs
Clogs are much more popular in women's fashions than in men's; this is largely due to the feminine feel to the shoe. With an open back, they resemble sandals, which people traditionally think of as a style of footwear designed for women.
Clogs are extremely versatile concerning the different variations found. They are easily beautified with the addition of simple embellishments, such as studs, diamante, broaches and all manner of lacing and stitching. They come in a wide variety of colours, some bright such as electric pink, others more understated and sophisticated such as black.
As a style of footwear, they are also extremely adaptable to fashion trends. They suit a wide variety of looks', they can be teamed with skirts and dresses, as well as with trousers and shorts. Making clogs shoes a great addition to any wardrobe because they can fit almost any style of clothing. Moreover, they suit all seasons, there is no need to change styles for winter or summer, they can adapt to both, being warm or airy, depending on the weather.
Men's Clogs
As mentioned earlier, people traditionally see clogs as women's shoes. However, with the birth of the metro-sexual male of the 1990's, men are more comfortable, nowadays, wearing clothes that have a feminine air.
Today, leading designers have masculinised clogs to make them more attractive as a style of footwear for men. They come in masculine colours, such as black and brown, and are made of strong and durable materials, such as leather. But best of all, they do not take much effort to wear; they simply slip off and slip back on again, making them the lazy boy of the shoe world.
