The Birkenstock Bostons aren't going anywhere for summer 2023, according to TikTok

TikTok has declared Birkenstock Bostons the shoes of the summer, so here's how to style the clogs with the rest of your capsule wardrobe.

Along with Adidas Sambas sneakers and ballet flats, it's clear from our For You Pages that we'll continue to see a lot of slip-on Birkenstock sandals this season—styled with everything from flowy maxi skirts to cozy airport outfits.

And we must say, we love do pieces that can be worn all year round and these suede clogs can do just that. Much like the ‘coastal grandmother aesthetic,’ these Birkenstocks work for both summer, winter and everything in between. So, for anyone on the hunt for a shoe that works for summer and beyond, here's exactly how to style the internet's favorite clogs, plus the scoop on which is the most popular Birkenstock Boston color...

Where to buy the Birkenstock Bostons

While loafers dominated in the cooler months of previous years, the IT girls of TikTok sent Birkenstock-style clogs viral in the fall of 2022. Now, it seems we won't be rid of them this summer either—not that we'd want to be, that is. 

So, if you're looking for a new everyday sandal for summer, a trusty pair of Bostons is a safe bet. And as for the best Birkenstock Boston color to shop, the trendiest shade appears to be the light neutrals, with ‘Taupe’ being the most coveted.

You can still snap them up in some sizes in a few places though and in warm cream and pastel greys shades—we recommend the suede pair in ‘clay’ as it’s very similar to the Taupe.
