Clogs have already started to edge their way back into the fashion world lately, and we are only set to see this trend continue. Love them or hate them, clogs will soon be a wardrobe essential, so it’s a good idea to get to know which outfits to wear with them. The good thing about clogs is that they come in different sizes of heels, so you can still get that extra height boost when you wear them.
The Look For Work
Depending on the colour of the clogs, you can wear them with a pair of everyday trousers or a women’s suit for work. It would not be advisable to turn up in brightly coloured clogs, but a pair which are a sensible black or brown colour, will work well with similarly coloured trousers. You can also wear clogs with a skirt, such as an a-line or pencil skirt, in a colour which will suit. A good idea is to match the colour of your clogs with your handbag or accessories, such as your belt.
Everyday Look
If you are wearing clogs for an everyday look, such as going for lunch or out shopping, there are lots of different looks you can try. A pair of jeans and a blouse or top with a pair of clogs is a good casual look, which will keep you looking and feeling comfortable. Alternatively, wear your clogs together with a pair of leggings and a tunic top. Again, you can match the colour of your clogs with your handbag or belt, to complete your outfit.
Winter Look
An ideal outfit to wear with your clogs during the winter, includes a pair of trousers and a warm knitted top. To keep with the current trend, wear your clogs in a camel colour and wear a winter jacket in the same colour to co-ordinate your look. Accessorise your look with a handbag in a similar shade to give you the perfect winter outfit.
 Summer Look
When the weather gets better, there are many different looks you can alternate with your clogs. Shorts are set to be very fashionable over spring/summer 2011 and will look ideal with a pair of clogs in a suitable colour. High waisted varieties will help to create a slimming effect and denim worn with a subtle colour of clogs, such as tan, will look great for a look on the beach. Other ways to wear your clogs over the summer include teaming them up with a summer dress, particularly floral, which is a fabulously feminine style.
Going Out Look
You might thing that clogs are too casual to wear for a night out, but there are ways to wear them to make them suitable for any occasion. For instance, you can team them up with a gorgeous mini skirt or dress, for an outfit which is ideal for the dance floor. If you choose to wear trousers for a night out, then a pair of cropped trousers and a corset top will look great for a night out.
When the sun is shining, there is nothing better to do than have a picnic in the park. A picnic in the park does not have to mean rolling out an old rug on the floor and munching on a few sandwiches and bag of crisps, although that sort of picnic can be fun. A picnic in the park can also be a stylish and lavish affair where you get the opportunity to get dressed up in a nice dress with a big straw hat and sip pimms or champagne whilst eating a luxurious lunch. This sort of picnic is perfect for a Sunday afternoon when you have got nothing to do but watch the world go by and relax in the sunshine. Many parks have bands or music on the weekends in the summer giving you the chance to really make an occasion of it and listen to some great music while you are dining.
To wear
A floral dress is the perfect thing to wear for a picnic in the park. It is in keeping with the general theme of nature and being outside and also has a slightly retro feel about it. Take your pick from brightly coloured florals or paler washed out pastels.
This green print strappy cotton sundress is ideal for a picnic in the park as it is pretty and comfortable to wear the light colours are also perfect for keeping cool in the sun.
This black and white ditsy crinkle flower crinkle dress is another great choice for relaxing in the park on a Sunday afternoon. Cool, comfortable and very stylish.
A stylish pair of flat shoes or wedges will look great and won’t sink into the grass. You just need to add a large pair of sunglasses and a big brimmed straw hat to keep the sun off your face.
To take with you
There is no need to rough it when having your picnic.You can get light weight fold up table and chairs and even pack a table cloth, pretty tableware and a flower for the centre of the table. You can get beautiful melamine plates and plastic glasses or take real glasses and china, if you can carry it. Knives and forks will also be an important part of you sit down picnic.
To eat
You can often get delicious picnic pre packed at a delicatessen or make up your own with freshly baked bread, olives, cheese and cold meats. Fresh fruit like strawberries are great options for desert or why not have scones with jam and cream for afternoon tea. You don’t have to spend hours preparing a picnic lunch sometimes the most simple things in life are the best. Why not top off at the local farm shop on your way and pick up a selection on local seasonal food.
To drink
You can easily make your own Pimms with a plastic jug, some lemonade and some ready chopped fruit, cucumber and sprigs of herbs. Alternatively a glass of chilled champagne makes for a very civilised picnic. For those who prefer something no alcoholic homemade lemonade or ginger beer or a flask of tea are the perfect refreshment.
