When this trend started popping out from all the social media feeds that I’m on, I was in kind of a shock. I just couldn’t believe that the ugly shoes can be new favorites of it-girls just like that?! Black birkenstocks were all over my Instagram, Tumblr and Pinterest feed! The ‘90s trend was striking back again, and this time, the outfits looked even better.
After that, it hit me: they are not so bad. The main characteristic of the birkenstocks is a huge comfort. You can wear them all day long and still, your feet will feel like it is 8 am in the morning.
If you like minimalistic outfits, you will love the birkenstock shoes. The black ones are classic, and they can be paired with anything.
I will not waste more of your time, let’s see how you can wear black birkenstocks without looking awkward.
