I’m Confident That This Petite-Approved Winter Shoe Trend Will Be Everywhere This Season
If you've always wondered how to make Ugg boots look chic, Zoë Kravitz has the answer. Scroll to see why even A-listers are banking on the comfy boots this autumn.
As soon as the temperature drops and the light, long evenings of summer start to fade into distant memory, one shoe brand comes to mind: Ugg boots. Slipping your feet into toe-warming shearling and strokably soft suede is the fashion equivalent of going into hibernation, and over the past few years, Uggs have shed their scruffy connotations and cemented their status as the cold-weather shoe of choice for It girls and fashion people alike.
Whether the classic midis favoured by Kendall Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence or the easy slip-on clog-type styles, these cosy-meets-cool shoes have always made leaving the house in freezing temperatures much more manageable. However, whether they could ever look chic has been debated for some time. That is until today, when Zoë Kravitz silenced the naysayers by pairing her Tasman II Slippers with flowy, ankle-skimming trousers in matching black.
Strolling the streets of New York arm in arm with Riley Keough on the set of the upcoming movie Die Alive, Zoë made a pretty convincing case for the Ugg-boot outfit. Wearing a loose white jersey jumper, almost-barrel-leg trousers and black low-rise UGG boots (finished with the perfect pop of colour in the form of a vivid purple scarf), the trouser-and-boot pairing immediately caught my eye.
By colour-blocking from the hips down and matching her trousers to her boots, the whole ensemble feels sleeker and more intentional, which is why it's a styling hack I'd happily recommend for petite dressers. Matching your trousers to your boots helps visually elongate the leg and neatly balance your proportions.
So, with cooler days on the horizon, this pairing feels like a fail-safe way to make your Uggs look more put-together this winter. Read on to shop the styles I recommend.
