Sorry Flip-Flops—In L.A., This Is the Flat-Shoe Trend Stylish Women Wear to Pilates With Black Leggings
Dressing for Pilates in L.A. in the winter comes with its own set of fashion rules—comfort is key, but looking cute still matters. Leggings are a nonnegotiable, along with a sports bra and a statement coat, such as a faux-fur or leather one. Footwear choices vary. Sneakers are acceptable but can feel like overkill, as they need to be unlaced upon arrival. Flip-flops are convenient but may look sloppy, while ballet flats can seem a bit try-hard. Currently, a popular choice among stylish locals is Birkenstock Boston Clogs, which strike a balance between comfort and fashion.
One style icon who has recently been sporting the shoe trend is Brazilian actress Bruna Marquezine. While heading to a Pilates class in L.A., she was spotted wearing a chic activewear ensemble consisting of a black top, black leggings, and a shearling-lined printed coat. For accessories, she opted for a Ralph Lauren baseball cap, the Birkenstock Boston Clogs in taupe, and slouchy gray socks to keep her feet warm.
The once-controversial-but-now-cool flat shoes are a slip-on style that fashion people have worn on and off for years. They feature closed toes and open heels, lending just the right amount of coverage for L.A. winter weather. Plus, the ergonomic cork soles and gently rounded toes create a relaxed silhouette that makes styling so easy.
With that said, keep scrolling to shop Birkenstock's iconic Boston Clogs and the best black leggings to pair with them.
