When it comes to the arrival of a new season, few are as definitive as the start of autumn. Winter eases itself in slowly, spring's bright sunshine only signifies a slight rise in steady temperatures, but autumn has arrived as if overnight. As we quickly move to adjust our wardrobes, our shorts and sandals are packed up for another year and cosy staples are pulled out from the deepest shelves. Already I've slunk back into having a light knit to hand at all times, plus an umbrella because, well, this is England. And first on my shopping list to complete this cosy entourage was, of course, a pair of UGGS.
Yes, the divisive shoes of the early noughties are well and truly back. And while there has been much deliberation in fashion circles over the past few years about whether UGG boots are in fact cool again—much like the question around whether Crocs should be worn outside, or if Birkenstocks really look good with with socks—if last autumn's zeitgeist is anything to go by, the answer is a resounding, yes.
It started with a few Gen-Z-inspired celebs wandering into 2000s territory when experimenting with their style—Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Kaia Gerber, for instance. But fast forward over a year, and the boots are near impossible to get hold of. And it’s not just the classic calf boots millennials will be familiar with from the first time around. There’s the embroidered Tasman slippers, the ultra mini boot and platform iterations now, too—all with a cult following to be taken seriously. Influencers, street style stars and major a-list celebrities are wearing theirs daily, now that the cold weather has set in. Not to mention the TikTokers all over my FYP.
One thing’s for sure, there’s no lack of UGG boot outfit inspiration, just in case you were still on the fence, and we’ve included plenty of examples below for good measure. Whether you opt for a comfy legging and ultra-mini boot pairing, mini skirt and Tasman or a platform and loose jeans look, UGGs have turned out to be one of the most versatile (and of course, comfiest) shoes you can own right now.
The only problem is, getting hold of them. The cosy shoe is notorious for selling out when the coldest days arrive, so I'm getting ahead of the rush by stocking up early. Keep scrolling to shop the best styles and see the best UGG boot outfits below.
