Celebrities from Meryl Streep to Halle Berry to Jennifer Aniston to Zendaya have been spotted sporting an unexpected shoe: clogs<\/p>\n
Clogs are as old as time \u2013 well, not exactly time, but the 14th century, to be accurate. In the 1500s, in the Netherlands, clogs were wooden shoes, comfortable and protective enough for workwear in the fields. The clog spread throughout Europe, with English and Irish clogs leading to clog dance, which influenced the development of modern-day tap dancing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The current clog that most people think of and see on the street today is most similar to the 1970s iteration of the shoe, which gained popularity due to the Swedish Pop Band ABBA. Let\u2019s just say everyone was saying \u201cgimme! gimme! gimme!\u201d for clogs, as everyone, no matter who you are, wore them. ABBA started such a movement that they released a clog line of their own, along with the song \u201cTr\u00e4skofolket\u201d (1970), which translates to \u201cThe Clog People\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now in today\u2019s world where trends are fast and fleeting, one might think clogs have finally hit the hay, or at least are seen as an underground and dated rarity. But clogs continue to persist in the world of style and fashion. Celebrities from Meryl Streep to Halle Berry to Jennifer Aniston to Zendaya have been spotted sporting the unexpected shoe. The comfort and versatility clogs offer mean no clog outfit is the same, and anyone, across all styles, can rock a clog.\u00a0<\/p>\n
