Glance around goop HQ pretty much any time of year and you’ll spot multiple pairs of Birkenstock sandals. That’s because these iconic cork soles work whether it’s peak summer or pumpkin spice season. Below, four fresh ways to style them for fall.

Warm and Fuzzy

Pair these platform slides with summer’s sundress, plush cashmere socks, and an extra-chunky sweater to make the floral print feel autumnal. Luxe gold hoops and a streamlined bag (see how the earrings match the hardware?) add polish.

Big-Buckle Energy

The scaled-up buckles put a modern spin on these slides, and the matte-gold finish ties in nicely with a diamond-encrusted ear cuff and a glossy timepiece. Wear them with leather pants, a mariner sweater, and a carryall that’s somehow colorful and neutral at the same time.

Dark Mode

Black Birks are a cool yet unexpected shoe pairing for office separates (we love how the trousers pick up on the dusty-pink stripes of the top). Chunky chain-link jewelry freshens the look further while a black leather bag complements the shoes.

Shear Delight

Ramp up the coziness of these shearling clogs with socks. Speaking of cozy, might as well layer a tee under your oversize sweater while you’re at it. Dial in the look with tailored trouser shorts and an attention-grabbing duo of gold rings.
