The classic '90s footwear trend is coming back. From chunky-soled, wedges, to rubber soles, make a statement with clogs now.&nbsp;

The origins of clogs can be traced back to the 13th century with its Dutch roots; the creation of the iconic shoe was meant to protect the feet of labourers. Made originally from wood, the design was characterised by its open back and slip-on feature, with a slightly upturned and rounded toe silhouette.&nbsp;
After rising to its popularity as a fashion accessory, the '90s footwear has gotten a modern revamp, notably leaving its mark as massive waves of influencers and celebrities have been spotted rocking the controversial footwear. 
The anti-fashion style has been adored by the Olsen twins, Elsa Hosk, Hilary Duff, Kristen Stewart, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kendall Jenner, bringing their shoe game to the next level. Having become one of fashion&rsquo;s most polarising trends, clogs are definitely here to stay. With their bulky and ergonomic design, clogs are a comfortable choice for casual get-ups or dressier styles and can be worn anywhere, by anyone.

Making a strong case for the &ldquo;ugly&rdquo; shoe trend, clogs have officially made their way back on the runway, easily clinching the shoe of the season. Contemporary spins on this retro footwear was spearheaded by big fashion houses, each employing their signature codes on the design, making it unique to the brand.

Here are some unique styles to choose from:

The adidas x Gucci partnership combines the emblematic spirit of both brands, with their visual identities underpinning the collection. Featuring the Horsebit clog, it is designed with a Trefoil leather exterior, juxtaposing the Web logo against the house&rsquo;s signature GG monogram. It is then punctuated with antique gold-tone hardware for an elegant twist on the playful style. The hybridity of athleisure and sartorial mastery are ostensibly nostalgic and contemporary, revitalising the classic clog style.

Christened after the Maison's most coveted bag, Saint Laurent&rsquo;s Le Maillon clogs channel a sophisticated Parisian style. Reminiscent of the house&rsquo;s satchel bag, the smooth leather exterior is accented with a gold-tone cable-link chain. With a slack heel, the shoe rests on a chunky wooden sole enveloped with a rubber base. Upgrade your everyday style with the hard-edge and sleek clogs. Throw on a pair of jeans and a classic white tee and you&rsquo;re good to go!

Breathing new life into the footwear, the timeless and sophisticated style has been reimagined in Dior&rsquo;s couture spirit with a chunkier sole for ease of comfort. The Diorquake Clogs feature wooden soles fused with rubber, meticulously sanded and painted by hand for a flawless finish. The stylish clog is elevated with distinctive details &ndash; bearing studs that are attached to the leather upper to hold it in place while adding a modern note. Pair it with a tank top and some white socks for a relaxed look.

Fusing Italian craftsmanship and utilitarian design, leave Salvatore Ferragamo to design an eternally chic pair of clogs. Rendered with jacquard leather, the footwear is invigorated with white stitching, giving it a pop of contrast against the all-black canvas. It is then highlighted with the house&rsquo;s signature Gancini buckle, flaunting its original flair. Retaining the upcurve toe spring, they evoke a visceral reaction like the original design does. Built your look with a dressy outfit for a feminine touch.

Ditching the usual wooden soles, Bottega Veneta has changed the game with the introduction of a seamless rubber outsole that provides a subtle platform elevation. The flashy shoes are manipulated with an outlandish silhouette and clunky platform. Designed with biodegradable rubber as a nod to the label&rsquo;s sustainable efforts, they are 100% waterproof and can withstand harsh environments. With its unique shape, it is sure to turn heads on the street. A pair of wide-leg trousers and an oversized sweater will put your look into elite status.
