- For a nice dressy look, choose a pair of genuine leather clogs with a shiny patent-leather finish. By choosing this finish, you’re adding glitz and glam to your overall look that can be associated to evening wear.
- High-heel clogs tend to look best worn with shorter length dresses and skirts. Lower heeled ones may look best worn with long dresses, skirts, jumpsuits, dress slacks and pantsuits. With that said, there really are no rules, so wear what is comfortable for you!
- If you can find “shoe jewels” and “shoe clips” don’t be afraid to purchase a glitzy pair and clip the jewels onto your clogs. They can really add some pizzazz to your favorite footwear, perfect for formal occasions and fun.
- Walk around your home wearing the clogs for several days before attending the party or event, if you’re not used to walking in them! When walking, practice “gentle” walking; no one should hear you coming down the hall!
