It's that awkward in-between phase – no longer hot girl summer, but not quite sad girl fall. You're apprehensively staring at your weather app every day, trying to decide if the sun will stick around long enough to have your toes out, or if you will come to regret those sandals around lunchtime when the sky turns grey and the wind feels especially icy.
Queue the Birkenstock Boston. The comfy, cool-girl approved clog you can wear with a scrunched sock when it's nippy or bare heels for those suspiciously warm days. And while we love other Birks silhouettes too, the Bostons will be your bff throughout this tricky transitional season. Trust us.
Need some ideas on how to style them? We've got you sorted...
With a light jumper and shorts
We're pushing this look to the front of the queue. A light jumper layered over a simple t-shirt, tailored shorts and some chocolate-hued Bostons is the perfect outfit. You're bound to be comfortable while still looking put together for those errand days in town.
With a button-up and tailored trousers
Casual office days? We're looking at you. A button-down shirt paired with your favourite tailored trousers is undoubtedly your new back-to-work go-to. Top up the polish with a leather belt with coordinating hardware, while your Bostons complete the ‘fit.
With a mixed suit
Play it cool with a mixed suit. A dark brown, oversized blazer over a cream waistcoat and matching trousers – so chic! The suede clogs stop it from feeling too stuffy. Pop on your fave sunnies and layer on the jewellery for an off-duty look.
Everyone's clicking on...
With a denim vest and jeans
Add a bit of biker to your style vocab with a cropped denim vest. Undershirt, optional. Pair with a neutral trouser or coloured denim (a major autumn jeans trend, FYI) and matching Birks for an easy style win every time.
With a shacket and white jeans
Consider this your sign to go ahead and invest in that printed shacket; it will get you through this season with absolute ease. Keep the rest of your look simple with monochrome tones like with your favourite white tank top and jeans. Done, done and done.
