If we’re talking footwear trends, there seems to be one brand with the most staying power:the everlasting Birkenstock. The brand has taken the fashion set and celebrities by storm everywhere from Stockholm to Los Angeles. Chances are you already know, love, and own a pair, but since I’m in the business of trend reporting, I have a new style that needs your attention. The Arizona Big Buckle Teddy has just landed at Zappos, and it’s the cozy, comfortable, and stylish shoe of my dreams.

I love to see the ways in which my colleagues style their Birkenstocks, so I reached out to editor Anna LaPlaca for her spin on this new style. The result: three chic, on-the-go looks that she wore all over New York City. “I’ve been wearing Birkenstock slides every summer for at least the last 10 years,” she tells me. “My commitment to the comfortable shoes has hardly wavered, and I always keep them around as an easy option that doesn’t skimp on the cool factor.” The outfits Anna put together prove that this shoe is one of the most versatile of the summer.

“I’m extremely committed to classic wardrobe basics, but I’m a fashion editor, after all, so I like to bring in at least one exuberant element to my outfits. This pair of shearling slides is the definition of a fun statement piece. With a base of foundational pieces such as a black blazer, white tank, and denim shorts, there’s no doubt that the slides take center stage in this outfit—as they should. They’re absolutely the main character here.” — Anna LaPlaca, editor

“Is there anything more classic than a white dress in the summer? When the temperature rises above 80°, my uniform defaults to airy dresses and comfy slides. Here, I paired my cream Birkenstocks with a puff-sleeve number and some gold bangles that tie in the luxe gold buckles on the sandals. It’s simple but fail-safe.” — LaPlaca

“As a New Yorker, I couldn’t be happier that the fashion world has adopted practical footwear into its lexicon. I’m always on the go, bouncing between the office, previews, events, and so much more, so anchoring my weekday outfit of a vest and matching trousers with a pair of Birkenstocks felt like such a treat. I also love the way the fuzzy slides feel unexpected with this tailored look. It taps into what TikTok is calling the ‘wrong shoe theory,’ and I’m so here for it.” — LaPlaca
