Glance around goop HQ pretty much any time of year and you’ll spot multiple pairs of Birkenstocks. That’s because these iconic cork soles work whether spring is in full bloom or it’s brisk enough to see your breath. Below, three fresh ways to style them right now.

Well-Suited

Birks are an unexpected—and unequivocally cool—choice with tailored suiting. The finishing touches: a chain-link bracelet, high-shine doughnut hoops, and a soft suede tote that complements the shoes.

Dress Code

Inky shearling-lined slides feel seasonally appropriate when worn with a flowy, ankle-sweeping dress. A black-diamond ear cuff and a chunky choker add some edge, and a slouchy bucket bag that holds all your daily essentials is just good sense.

Precious Cargo

Scaled-up buckles put a sleek spin on these earthy thong sandals. Pair them with utilitarian cargoes that exude the same effortless chic, a classic black cardigan, and a streamlined bag—and a couple of well-chosen (diamond-encrusted) accents.
