Clogs come in everything from soft suede to studded leather, so pick the one that suits your style. Gucci's brown suede clogs, Balmain's beige suede wedge pair, The Row's black leather Hudson and Bottega Veneta's white studded Gondola clogs show the range.

Wide-leg jeans that skim the top of the foot are the easiest match for a clog. Frame's black The Bow jeans with Burberry's tan shearling-trimmed Urchin clogs feel relaxed and warm. Loulou de Saison's brown cropped cashmere turtleneck and Saint Laurent's black East/West tote keep it polished.

A fluid midi skirt with clogs has a relaxed, slightly bohemian feel. Ruohan's dark brown pleated silk Aeris skirt and A.Emery's brown leather Lou clogs make an easy pairing. Kallmeyer's beige poplin Dani shirt and Alaïa's cropped striped cardigan add layers for cooler days.

Clogs soften tailoring in a way that feels modern. Toteme's black pleated wide-leg pants and Jil Sander's light brown crepe blazer look sharp, and Brunello Cucinelli's brown shearling-trimmed suede clogs make it feel more relaxed. Loewe's dark brown Flamenco shoulder bag adds a soft shape.

A short suede dress with clogs has a 70s feel that suits fall. Frame's dark brown suede Safari Tent dress and Marni's calf-hair Fussbett clogs are a warm, tonal pairing. Johnstons of Elgin's red fringed cashmere scarf and Bottega Veneta's brown New Knot aviator sunglasses finish the look.

Clogs are one of the most versatile shoes you can own once you find the right pair. If you take one thing away, let it be that proportion matters: they look best with hems that either skim the shoe or stop well above it. Wide-leg jeans and trousers are the easiest match, and a midi skirt or short dress shows them off. Suede and shearling-trimmed pairs feel right for fall, while leather is easier to keep clean. We would skip cropped straight jeans that end at the ankle bone, which can make clogs look clumpy. Start with brown, then add black if you find yourself reaching for them every day.
