I’m generally not into what other people wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2208235 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 13:03:40 +0000 bjv 2208235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Jeneva, <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Awesome hearing that you love the idea of a guy clogs!!..thanks much!!&nbsp;&nbsp; It's been a fun experience as I have embraced the world of&nbsp; clogs!!<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2206251 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 21:38:54 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2206251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, no worries about the pic being dark—I’m mostly interested in the silhouette/shapes anyway, and I see that contrast between your clogs &amp; legs are almost as much as mine. The heel looks a little shorter than mine, but not much, and it’s cut out, distinctive from the rest of the sole, like mine. Thanks for posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2206235 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 20:43:15 +0000 Jonesy 2206235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the one pic I've posted with shorts and clog sandals; sorry about the darkness of the photo. The shorts are kind of short but they are linen and loose-fitting, the top is loose and a lightweight cotton voile, and the clog sandals are relatively low-heeled (for clogs; see pic). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2206232 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 20:13:57 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2206232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, I hope you’re right about open toes, because that’s what I’ve got. The find is what I’m hoping to be able to wear with shorts and short (~18”) skirts. Oddly, when I searched for photos of Kate Jackson and Farah Fawcett striding around in heels and shorts with &lt;1” inseam, I couldn’t find any, but that’s the impression I’m trying to avoid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2206231 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 20:09:14 +0000 Jenava 2206231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of a guy in clogs. I'm also a fan of Birks on guys. </p> <p>I think volume depends a lot on the look. I think any short would look good with the right clog. Have you considered an open toe version? The bare foot might help bring the balance you're wanting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2206230 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 20:03:58 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2206230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, that’s not my style either—I wouldn’t want to fall into it inadvertently! Any chance you’ll unlock some photos on old posts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2206187 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 17:46:43 +0000 Jonesy 2206187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By "Charlie's Angels" do you mean overtly sexy or something like that? That's not really my style, so I don't worry about that when pairing clogs with shorts. LaPed's and Jenava's examples are great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2206152 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 16:09:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2206152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, bwahaha! I am aware of the fact that my new clog sandals have a distinct heel. I don’t think they are higher than other clogs, but do suspect that little chunk having been cut out will make a difference in how well they play with shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2206141 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 15:58:18 +0000 rachylou 2206141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava! That’s brilliant!!</p> <p>I feel like anything goes, because it’s summer. The clogs themselves will elevate everything… although I’d probably stay away from nylon short-short running shorts, a la the 70s. Just on principle </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2206116 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 13:23:21 +0000 bjv 2206116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi&nbsp; all.&nbsp;&nbsp; For what it's worth, I've been in&nbsp; my 1" heel&nbsp; sweedish clogs a bunch&nbsp; this summer with shorts and&nbsp; love&nbsp; the&nbsp; look&nbsp; of it and of course how&nbsp; comfortable it is.&nbsp; As a&nbsp; guy, yes i have gotten some&nbsp; looks from others but&nbsp; also&nbsp;&nbsp; a&nbsp; few&nbsp; compliments from&nbsp;&nbsp; women on my&nbsp;&nbsp; clogs.&nbsp;&nbsp; So&nbsp; overall&nbsp; it's been&nbsp;&nbsp; worth it&nbsp; and fun!&nbsp; Keep rockin'&nbsp; those clogs ladies!!..I know I&nbsp;&nbsp; will. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2206060 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 08:40:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2206060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sal. You have long legs too, so I know you get how awkward it is that most things written about dressing the bottom half have lengthening the leg as a goal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2206053 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 07:58:34 +0000 Sal 2206053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no expert but I agree that something about clogs suits clothes with volume (probably the chunkiness of the style).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the shorts above would be fine with clogs - I would just experiment a bit to see what you like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2205984 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 22:30:44 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2205984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, you look dynamite in your clogs and nearly matching but just different enough to be interesting dress! Thanks for posting that pic—it’s given me some ideas. </p> <p>Ophelia, you’re right—I probably should just try them all on. I need to see which ones fit these days anyway. But I’m getting the impression that for shorts, the legs shouldn’t be too fitted—better something wider than these KftK shorts I’ve worn a bunch recently. Thanks for the compliment about my legs. I’m about 5’8”, so whether I’m tall or not depends on where I am/who’s around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2205935 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 19:26:00 +0000 ophelia 2205935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something low contrast would look good, but I think they might also look dynamite with denim and/or dark blue. I don’t know if you need to worry about choppy; iirc you are fairly tall &amp; have great legs! Would be worth trying a variety of colors in shorts imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2205934 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 19:22:38 +0000 Jenava 2205934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does this count as a short dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2205932 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 18:54:44 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2205932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, what are your tips for rocking this look without feeling like you’re trying to be Charlie’s angel (unless you are trying to be just that)? Are photos still up in your past forum posts, or can you show me some here? </p> <p>LaPed, thanks for the pix. The bright red ones are great. Wearing contrasting color footwear still doesn’t come to me naturally, but sure works in that first shot. The low-contrast versions have me rethinking my life choices. </p> <p>Angie, yup, the forum is great. I’m going to search the archives too, to see if you’ve written about this before. </p> <p>Suntiger, I have been enjoying these with midis and long pants, but really like the idea of more options to pair them with. A burn like that is not in my plans, lol! </p> <p>Since my clog sandals are clearly not low-contrast with my legs, I might try them with shorts that are, to reduce the choppiness from the opposite direction. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2205905 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 17:56:58 +0000 Anonymous 2205905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd be most likely to wear the sandal clogs with midis, like my batik one. To me the volume of the skirt would balance the heavier shoe.<br /> I generally wear cognac, gold, copper, or dark tan sandals cause the low skin contrast- but usually wear black with black skirts. Black sandals I prefer pretty bare so I don't look too choppy, unless with pants. Burgundy I'd probably treat in between.<br /> Please don't get that sunburned - yikes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2205904 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 17:54:44 +0000 Angie 2205904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High or low contrast, I think most clogs are super cute ! <b>La Ped’s</b> clog and shorts pics are fabulous, showing both levels of contrast. Nice visuals. </p> <p><b>Jonesy</b> wears clogs with shorts flawlessly too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2205902 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 17:49:29 +0000 LaPed 2205902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a fun look with a lot of potential for retro vibes! Here are some inspo photos. Voluminous tops help balance out the chunky shoes. FWIW I've never been able to figure out the low-contrast footwear thing and don't worry about it too much. But I have dark hair and usually find the bookending approach more to my liking.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2205900 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 17:44:52 +0000 Jonesy 2205900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think clogs look great with shorts and shorter (above the knee) skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-and-shorts#post-2205866 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 15:54:56 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2205866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie wrote </p> <p><i> Clogs are a classic that are having their fashion moment.

Looking through a Google of clog sandals with shorts, I do indeed see shorts looks—even shorter shorts (though not Nare short) looking good with clogs, but I haven’t been able to discern and guidelines yet. Angie mentioned wearing a pair that are low contrast with your skin, and showed a model doing exactly that. That boat has already sailed for me; this burgundy red would be an incredibly deep sunburn on me indeed, lol. </p> <p>Do you have “rules” or inspiration pictures, either your own or from the web? Please post them here! </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
