Chanel Spring 2010 Clogs

New newest shoe craze is here. In its Spring 2010 collection, Chanel re-introduced the clog, a traditionally clunky and chunky dancing shoe with Dutch roots. This new shoe style is bold, beautiful, and is even sexy! But beware, gentlemen. These shoes are not for the shy, classic girl. A clog-lover will be an extravagant diva who loves to be the center of attention. If you read your girlfriend right, you might just hit the mark with these shoes, and score yourself a year's worth of boys' night out permission slips.

They've been praised by Vogue Magazine and seen worn by celebrity Alexa Chung, but Chanel Clogs 2010 have caused a lot of controversy in the fashion world (as do all daring trends). It's just like most bold styles - you either love it or you hate it. If your budget doesn't allow for this Chanel investment, I would move on to another gift idea. Don't bother if it's not the real thing! Imitations can be tacky and lose the chicness that Chanel brings to the table.

A tip for men who are unsure of their girls' fashion preferences: casually mention that you saw a girl on the street wearing clogs. Show her a picture of the Chanels if she's never seen them, and gauge her reaction. An oooh and an ahhh of wonderlust means a green light! Otherwise, she will reject them outright. There's not in between here; like I said, she will either love them or hate them. And if it's love, then you've just found the most perfect gift ever.
