How to wear clogs in all circumstances?

The clog, a resolutely bohemian trend

If there is one trend that has made history with its bohemian signature, it is the clog. Sometimes considered (wrongly) heavy or uncomfortable, it has nevertheless managed to win its letters of nobility with fashionistas all over the world. A fetish piece that smells of the hippie movement, the clog became popular in the early 1970s when fashion icons such as Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot wore them.

These shoes are the symbol of a period when everything was possible and when people's minds were free and daring. So it's not surprising to see this trend making a comeback in our wardrobes, to our great pleasure (and that of our feet).
