UGGs started life as a niche Australian brand, but they hit the mainstream in the early 90s after the US winter Olympic team was pictured wearing them. UGGs have since become a popular mainstream phenomenon worn by everyone, including famous celebs like Jennifer Lopez and Rita Ora.
Once you’ve tried UGGs, you won’t want to wear anything else, but if you have yet to jump on the UGG bandwagon, here are some reasons why UGGs are so popular.
UGGs are Warm
There is a good reason why the US Winter Olympic Team was photographed in UGGs. In cold climates, a pair of UGG boots will keep your feet warm, even when the temperature dips well into minus figures.
UGG boots have a sheepskin sock lined with merino wool. This provides excellent insulation against the cold while allowing moisture to wick away. So, your feet stay warm, but if they do sweat, the moisture can escape and your feet will remain dry.
To get the full effect of a UGG boot’s natural insulation properties, it’s best to wear them without socks. If you want to wear socks with your boots, which many people do since they’ll be taking them off at some point, stick to wool socks. They will work together with the boot’s natural insulation and moisture-wicking properties to keep your feet warm and dry.
UGGs are Comfortable
UGG boots have been criticised for being ugly, but while they probably aren’t a great choice for a night on the red carpet, there’s a reason why people love them so much – it’s because they are so darn comfortable!
As we have already touched on, UGGs are made from natural wool, so they are breathable. Whatever the weather, your feet won’t get hot and sweaty in a pair of UGG boots. The outsole is soft and flexible, which offers plenty of protection when you wear them in all weathers.
UGGs are equally comfortable in the summer, too. It might sound like a crazy notion but because of a UGG boot’s natural breathability, they are a great choice to wear in the summer as well as in the winter. Your feet won’t get hot and sweaty in a pair of UGGs, even on a hot day. Pair them with a cute pair of denim shorts and a t-shirt for a stroll outdoors, or pop your UGGs on for a dog walk on a summer evening. Your feet will thank you.
Always wear your UGGs without socks and you won’t ever want to take them off ever. That’s how comfortable they are!
UGGs Last For Years
Genuine UGGs are made from high-quality materials like natural wool shearling. They are designed to last and as long as you don’t wade through thick mud and soak the wool lining, they should be good for up to 10 years or more.
With the correct care, a pair of UGGs is a worthy long-term investment. They can be matched with pretty much any outfit and unlike some fast-fashion items, they won’t lose their style credentials at the end of the season. Whether you wear your UGGs indoors or outside, they are the one item of footwear you can rely on indefinitely.
UGGs are Always On-Trend
Fashion trends come and go but UGGs never lose their allure. It’s been more than 20 years since they first hit the mainstream in the 90s, but people still love UGGs. It doesn’t matter how old you are, man or woman, UGGs are for you. Celebrities love them, fashionistas adore them, and teens are happy to wear UGGs with a pair of skinny jeans or athleisurewear.
UGGs are Ultra Versatile
You can match a pair of UGGs with virtually any outfit, so there will always be something in your wardrobe that goes with your trusty UGGs. In addition, the UGG range has expanded since the original boots first hit the market. Today, as well as the classic UGG boot, you can expand your collection to include UGG sliders, UGG slippers, UGG sandals, and even UGG branded apparel.
UGGs don’t just come in classic natural beige either. Today’s UGGs are available in many different colours, including baby pink, lilac, green, white, and grey. Whatever your outfit, there is a pair of UGGs out there with your name on them.
If you have yet to embrace the UGG phenomenon, what are you waiting for? UGGs are a classic staple for men and women. Invest in a pair of classic UGG boots or try on the most comfortable pair of UGG sliders you’ll ever own. You won’t be disappointed.
