When it comes to effortless summer footwear, Birkenstock remains a perennial favourite – and for good reason.
The brand has mastered the art of blending timeless style with everyday practicality, crafting signature sandals known for their comfort and durability.
Among Birkenstock’s many admirers is Queen Mary of Denmark, who has been spotted in various styles over the years – even matching her husband, King Frederik.
Most recently, she wore the sold-out Arizona Big Buckle Sandals in High Shine Mud Green, a stylish yet practical choice, featuring oversized pin buckles and a cushioned footbed lined with soft piumato leather.
Mary’s footwear choice is a winner in my book – it perfectly complements her laid-back style while perhaps giving a subtle nod to her humble beginnings.
Her exact shoes are no longer available, but there are plenty of equally chic options still in stock, such as the Arizona in Stone.
Another standout is the Suede Rivet style in a beautiful taupe shade. I’m especially drawn to its neutral tone – it pairs with just about everything – and the silver-tone stud accents add a hint of glam.
As someone who gravitates towards silver, this is right up my alley, though it also comes in orange and gold if that’s more your style.
Metallics are having a moment, with silver, gold and bronze options perfect for tying in with your favourite jewellery. Because who says your shoes can’t sparkle too?
Of course, no summer shoe collection is complete without a splash of colour – think sunny yellows – or the brand’s signature shearling-lined styles for added texture and support.
Ready to refresh your summer footwear? Now’s the time to step into something stylish.
