Clogs in 3 Ways with Aurela Nasedkin

The art of clog versatility. Three chic looks that elevate your casualness and add comfort to your evening attire.

Clogs are fashion's latest easy-on, easy-off trend at the corner of minimalism and quiet luxury. In addition to offering versatility and style, the 90s footwear classic in motion has always been a sound of enjoyment transitioning into warmer months.

Brands like Browns, UGG, SOREL, and Dr. Martens all provide iterations of these chunky, clunky steppers that are quintessential to the comeback fad. Vancouver-based fashion consultant and stylist Aurela Nasedkin masterfully assembled three distinct outfits to clomp down staircases, city streets and gallery floors.

Discovering cloglike opulence with a subtle touch entails a tailoring eye. Aurela resurges a crossover aesthetic spawned from Yves Saint Laurent's iconic Le Smoking tuxedo (1966). Pairing a clunky sole like the UGG New Heights or UGG TAZZ with a creased loose-legged pantsuit ushers an uptick to a casual and polished look.

As an alternative, relax the power suiting with a style like Browns August, UGG Goldenstar clog or Dr. Martens ZEBZAG mule to give a subtle gorpcore edge on a lean silhouette. For final touches, an oversized capote seals the deal on contemporary pantsuit power. The key to perfecting an elegant clog look is to choose a platform sole complimented by plush textures in an aura of feminized men's styling.

Positioning your clogs as a statement to your stealth wealth ensemble requires a strategic approach of not overdoing your garments. Aurela cements a muted-toned and cozy styling with a conceptual clunky pair like the SOREL VIIBE Clog or UGG New Heights — a bold display of the sole. Straight-legged trousers elevate the nuance of the old-fashioned ethos where quality speaks for itself regardless of the simplicity.

Other classic utilitarian variations like Browns AUGUST, Dr. Martens Carlson and UGG Goldenstar maintain the minimalist direction and stay true to the core pillars of quiet luxury— providing that IYKYK appeal from head to toe.

“It’s important to remember, less is more. Let your outfit do the talking, and the clogs do the flaunting. There’s always opportunities to make a stylistic statement while working with your fundamental wardrobe staples.”

OUTFIT 3: Little Miss Capote

The oversized outerwear coat statement with chunky clogs hints at chic seasonal transitions. This look emphasizes comfortable convenience more than anything, which is where the UGG TAZZ takes front and centre. Worn by celebrities Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez and more, the chunky slide-in silhouette has become a staple for off-duty attire. Aurela spruces this laidback look with a sophisticated statement belt — creating a stylish mishmash to sharpen any mood.

While silhouettes like the UGG New Heights, UGG Goldenstar and Dr. Martens ZEBZAG already foster relaxation, dressing in dark-rinse or dark-wash jeans reveals the versatility of a clog-centred outfit. The slightly slouchy touch can be worn on a grocery run, catching up with friends or on Thursdays at the office.
