Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.

Birkenstock fans, we’ve got big news. The brand’s latest drop, the Birkenstock Tokio, is now available exclusively at Free People. This new style is a luxe take on their classic Boston design and (in our opinion) the perfect addition to any travel capsule wardrobe. They feel like a dream, go with everything, and are easy to slip on and off for airport security (important). Read on to see why these deserve a spot at the top of your shoe rack and how we’ll be styling them at home and on the road.  

Meet the Birkenstock Tokio...

Birkenstock Tokio
Free People

Wear these with or without socks, with jeans or a dress, out on the town or around the house — you get the point. This new design takes everything you love from the signature Boston style (like the super-soft suede material and iconic pin-buckle) and adds a supportive backstrap to keep you comfy all day long. We especially love that you can add colorful woven strap accessories and charms to add a little extra pizazz. And that faded purple colorway? Big fans. ($160)

Baggy High-Rise Jeans
Free People

Baggy high-rise jeans that fall just right...

Denim that’s cute but also comfortable? We’ll take one in every color (hint: there’s 12). These pants are roomy without being oversized, and have a high-waisted fit that runs a little looser in the legs. Pair them with your favorite tee or tank (and the Birkenstock Tokio) for a cool, casual look. ($98)

Striped Oversized Shirt

A comfy oversized button-down…

Not unlike the Birkenstock Tokio, this striped shirt can go from poolside to happy hour in literal seconds. It has a classic, nautical design thanks to its bold stripes, and an oversized fit that’s perfect for layering. We recommend throwing it over your favorite swimsuit during the day, and over a fitted tank at night to dress it up. ($128)

Shoe Charms

Charms to pair with your new Birkenstock Tokios…

Already added the woven strap accessories to your cart? Take things up a notch with these shoe charms. You can choose between four different sets, but we’re partial to pearl bow and gold heart. Each set comes with four unique charms in varying sizes. Grab a couple sets to mix-and-match. ($20)

Chino Pants
Free People

Cropped wide-leg pants we’re currently living in…

Between the cotton-linen blend material and the baggy mid-rise fit, these are the ideal summer pants. They’re light and airy, which makes them perfect to travel in — or bop around town after you’ve landed. They come in both neutral and statement-making shades, so there’s a little something for everyone. ($128)

Weekender Bag
Free People

A weekender bag that nails the casual-cool vibe…

There’s just something about this slouchy weekender that makes navigating a crowded train platform or five o’clock traffic to get to your destination that much more bearable. It has a pocket on the outside for things you need to access quickly, like your phone or ticket. Plus it has thick, comfortable straps for easy handling. Consider this a must-have for your next weekend away. ($98)
