Birkenstocks It moment

I've always loved Birkenstocks. Been wearing them for years. I have the Mayari style in lavender leather that I got for my birthday a few years ago at Anthropologie.

 

If you follow fashion, you'll know that Birkenstocks are having a moment, as they say. They are on the runway, Vogue, seen on fashion editors everywhere, you name it.

 

Some tips if you're going to wear them. They can't look old and worn, so get a new pair. Also, a pedicure is crucial so you don't look like a leftover from Woodstock. Metallic leather, patent leather or an unusual color like white or pastel helps in taking the hippie-edge off the shoe. And they look especially nice worn with a pretty dress, like here.
