Clogs reissued

So it appears that yet another beloved trend of the 1990s has been given a new lease of life: clogs. The (re)adoption of the humble clog as the must-have footwear of the moment isn't surprising, given the fashion industry's penchant for recycling trends. Being a child of the 90s, I seem to recall a majority of the decade's clogs being clunky and heavy.

Remember these?

Thank heavens then that the clogs of the Noughties bear little semblance to their rather dowdy forebears. Behold:

I prefer Chanel's sleek and streamlined take on the clog, which appears to be du jour among the trend-conscious crowd. It goes without saying that clog mania is slowly but surely ramping up here in Malaysia, with Tongue in Chic's recent installment of their popular Chic POP Street Market showcasing at least a few variations. So if you decide it's time to give this trend a whirl, I'd recommend stopping by Topshop to pick up these babies:
