Matisse Percy Clogs

The backless slide is one of my five essential shoes for fall, and the Matisse Percy Clog is exactly why. It gives you that cozy, substantial fall look without committing to a full boot—especially useful during those first months of fall when the weather hasn't gotten the memo yet.

I love the ease of a clog with denim. Add a chunky sweater or oversized button-down and you have that effortless fall outfit that doesn't feel overly styled.

Why I Love Them

• Backless silhouette makes them perfect for transitional fall weather
• Clog shape feels current but still incredibly wearable
• Easy with straight-leg, cropped and relaxed denim
• Gives you the weight of a fall shoe without wearing a boot
• Great alternative to another sneaker or loafer
• The kind of shoe you can literally slip on and go

Dear Lucy Edit

The backless slide absolutely deserves a place in my five-shoe fall wardrobe. After years of buying shoes, I've learned that the shoes you can throw on without thinking are usually the ones you end up wearing the most.

I'd wear the Percy with relaxed jeans, a white tee and an oversized cardigan. It's easy, comfortable and gives you that it's fall even though it's still 75 degrees outside feeling.
