- Birkenstock's -> Yes or No -
Oh yes they have entered the fashion world. Not mine fashion world, but THE Fashion world out there. We all know Birkenstock's and according to me they belong in hospitals or at the feed of tourist who want comfortable shoes to walk in all day.
They are spotted on several bloggers and street style peeps and I wonder if they will eventually break through completely.
I am really open minded concerning fashion, but Birkenstock are a no-go for me. They might even look oké on some bloggers fashion feet, I can admit that. But for me they are I am not a slave trend follower, so if I do not like a trend, I will just skip it. Fashion goes fast, so before you now, the trend will be over, unless the item becomes a basic piece, like the striped sailor T-shirt or a leopard print garment.
I have the same feeling no-go feeling about the Nike-running-sneaker trend. In my case running sneakers are only allowed to wear when you actually go running. I don't like them under a styled outfit. Although Nike has some awesome designs right now, I would never where them with ready-to-wear clothing for a day in the city.
What I like more are the variations that designer brands like Céline and high fashion brands like Zara made, inspired on the Birkenstock. They don't really look alike, but maybe that's why I like them so much. :-)
What do you think, Birkenstock's, Yes or No?
