Popsugar Fashion Birkenstock How to Wear Birkenstocks in 2018 How to Wear the "Ugly" Sandal Trend Fashion Girls Are Obsessed With 30 April 2018 by Laura Lajiness Kaupke Image Source: Getty / Christian Vierig As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too.

Every so often a polarizing trend comes along that fashion girls unapologetically adore (chunky sneakers being an au courant favourite). After a while, such a look manages to reach a state of normalcy that even the most reluctant of shoppers will come around to, and with warm weather upon us, a certain "ugly" favourite is back: comfort slides. Yep, we're talking about Birkenstocks and fashion-forward interpretations alike. Hardly a dainty silhouette, it's a look that comes with a bit of heft, lending an easiness to tailored pieces and feminine staples. Whether you're an avid fan or still hesitant about this look, we've sourced some inspiration by way of the street style set to spur your creativity or simply help pique your interest. If you didn't give this sandal style a go last year or are in need of a few fresh pairs, shop our edit for a 2018 update on the trend.
