How to Wear Your Birk Sandals this Spring
How to Re-Wear Your Birks this Spring
This spring I'm excited to add a few new classic pieces to my closet, but I also want to focus on enjoying and finding fresh ways to style last year's additions.
I posted a question box asking what pieces you need help restyling this spring and Birkenstock sandals popped up a couple times. Last spring, I added a white pair of similar buckle sandals from one of my all time favorite brands ABLE. (If you don't know what I love ABLE yet, then be sure to check out their mission to move fashion forward and learn how this small brand is changing the fashion industry and helping provide amazing jobs for women around the world and right here at home. I could go on all day, but check them out here.)
My ABLE sandals are called the Whitney Sandals in Napa leather. I love the extra chic details of the tarnish resistant buckles and the stitching. Plus, they've held up fantastic. You can shop them here. Use code ALEX15 to save.
These shoes are known for their comfort. But the wide footprint is certainly not what I go to when I think classic chic feminine style. Choosing to add these sandals to my closet was definitely reaching more toward my casual California roots and the casual side of my closet aesthetic. But I think that's what makes them so fun. The larger more masculine casual look adds contrast to a feminine shorts look and helps make a dress feel easy and unpretentious.
Some tips I would remember are that these shoes can cause an outfit to feel bottom heavy if you don't take the proportions of the look as a whole into account. So consider balancing the top with a wider shoulder silhouette, or conversely, in a wide leg pant opt for a feminine fitted top to create the contrast. And in a dress, opt for letting the ankle show to help balance the weight of the shoes.
