Fashion - The Clogs comeback: rattling is part of the footwear

You are truly not a quiet person.But that's exactly what she distinguishes: Clogs are on the rise again.Most recently, the shoes, also called Klotschen, were announced in the 1970s and 1980s.Many supposedly the origin of the pantinen open at the back with the mostly wooden sole in the Netherlands.But in fact, clogs come from England.

Today there are former workers' shoes in different materials and shapes.For practical reasons, she has a hospital staff in a correspondingly practical design with quiet and slightly to disinfectant plastic soles and heel straps.The latest, mostly elaborately embroidered or printed models have significantly more eye-catcher potential.

More grip in the fashion circus

The fact that his models for this year's spring and summer and summer collection in the patterns rather chunky clogs have sent over the catwalk despite the pattern of the Bohemia..But with chief designer Maria Grazia Chiuri, a new wind is blowing through the traditional couture house.

Already with her slogan t-shirts à la "We Should all be feminists" she caused a sensation.With her clogs called "Diorquakes", the native Italian once again ensures grip in the fashion circus.Quake means quake.But it is rather unlikely that the world is now really trembling in front of the loud wooden shoes - even if some fashion experts see a feminist signal in the counter -design to the sexy stiletto.

There is no uniform style in the clogs.Each brand interprets them on their wise men.Balenciaga, for example, relies on models in chewing gumipink, decorations with colorful stickers and a sole that convey the feeling of running on children.Marni, in turn, designed Clogs who look a bit as if you had strapped two brown guinea pigs under your feet.And Alexander McQueen's models in black suede with rivets come there.

How do all the clogs variants are properly combined in the complete look?"If you look at the styling- as well-known bloggers wear the clogs- then it's about the break in style again!" Says fashion and shoes expert Claudia Schulz: "The interplay of tender with hard, casual with elegant, masculine with feminine isthe creed of the fashion scene at the moment.And in this context, the chunky clog topic fits very well again."For example, girlish socks with lace edge or a feminine pleated skirt to clogs are combined.

Competition for the sneaker

The bottom line is that the only thing that unites the many Clog models is that they compete with the sneaker, the quiet person,.The appearance in clogs is different in double the sense of the word than in sneakers.

It is questionable whether the wooden slippers will take place one day to the sneaker one day.Shoes expert Claudia Schulz sees Clogs less than main stream -streames: "But maybe that's exactly the point: a group of certain women distances itself fashionably from the wide mass.It could be a statement - similar to the Ugly sneakers.Especially when the sole consists of a piece of wood and is very chunky."
