During the heat, who can deny the effortlessly stylish appeal of Birkenstock Arizonas? This summer, I may be tempted to invest in the lighter shaded variations for a warm-weather update.

The celebrity look that has got me on the hunt for the stone or taupe coloured Arizonas is from an archive look of Julianne Moore. She styled these coveted sandals to perfection back in 2023 as part of her daytime attire.

Creating a breezy white jeans outfit, she styled a boxy ivory-coloured t-shirt, a white baseball cap, and a brown leather crossbody bag. Adding to the neutral outfit, she wears the taupe Birkenstock Arizona for a practical and stylish touch.

Not only are the Birkenstock Arizonas some of the most comfortable sandals, but this coveted style makes every outfit feel effortlessly put-together. And the once anti-fashion shoe has solidified its place in every summer capsule wardrobe, thanks to its chunky sole and utilitarian design.

And although the darker shade variations are often favoured for their versatile styling options, the lighter shades such as taupe or grey, are an elevated alternative, especially when it comes to styling neutral outfits.

The warm taupe or light brown shade feels perfect for pairing with bright white dresses or floaty linen trousers. That's the great thing about these two-strap sandals: they quite literally go with anything. Plus, if you're shopping on a budget their are plenty of lookalike designs which could easily be mistaken for the real thing, including these sandals from Dream Pairs.

This isn't the only time we've spotted Julianne Moore wearing these reliable summer shoes, and she also wore them alongside a pair of jeans and a blazer outfit, showing that when styled correctly, they can be smart-casual too.
