Is this a safe space to admit something? Here goes: I’ve never owned Birkenstock sandals before. As a Southern California native, I’ve always gravitated towards flip-flops for casual outfits and summer beach days. That said, I know there are a lot of die-hard Birkenstock fans out there and I’m here to give the people what they want. 

Photographed in New York City recently, both Kate Hudson and Katie Holmes wore Birks in completely relatable, low-key ways and I have a feeling you’ll want to take copy their outfits. Hudson opted for a pretty slip skirt, while Holmes went for a chic denim-on-denim look. Scroll down to recreate their outfits and shop the best Birkenstock sandals to wear in 2022. 

On Kate Hudson: Birkenstock x Proenza Schouler Arizona Sandals ($300); Celine sunglasses 

The perfect cap-sleeve T-shirt for less than $10? Score. 

A black slip skirt is so darn versatile. 

This style is from Birkenstock’s collaboration with Proenza Schouler. 

On Katie Holmes: Birkenstock Arizona Leather Sandals ($200)

Mango never lets me down. 

I love wearing lighter-wash jeans in the summer. 

Katie Holmes’s exact sandals are sold out, but these are incredibly similar.
