If you were paying attention to New York Fashion Week, or if you were actually there, you saw Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel bring back the wooden clog. The clog was a staple of ’70s fashion, and it seems a lot of ’70s chic—wait, those two words don’t go together. How about ’70s boho-chic? Much better. Anyway, a lot of that stuff is coming back. Flouncy, lacy tunic tops, wide-legged jeans, platform sandals, and denim jackets, which really come and go in nearly every decade. Next thing you know, Martha Stewart will be teaching everyone how to make macramé plant hangers, complete with enormous orange beads, so we can grow our own, uh, completely legal, unsmokeable plants. Yeah. I wonder how much more entertaining Martha’s show would be if she were under the influence? Think she’d loosen up? Yeah, I don’t either. In the meantime, Chanel put a modern twist on the clog by dressing it up with different materials and straps, putting it on a platform, and jacking it up so high it should come with a health hazard warning. Those things are broken ankles waiting to happen. So consider these training clogs so you can get used to walking on hunks of wood before you graduate to the newer ones. Let’s start with a truly traditional one, the Swedish Hasbeens Slip In Super High Clog.
