As we get into the colder months of the year, it means one thing and one thing only: time to pull out our darling uggs.
No longer confined to the home (controversial) or to be styled solely with your favourite pyjamas and trackies, the humble ugg has become a bit of a staple among the style set as of late.
In Europe, you can hardly leave the house without spotting a pair of trendy uggs on your closest It Girl and considering they’re an Aussie invention we think it may just be time for an ugg revival down under.
Now let’s be clear the ugg has truly never left our wardrobes but after its heydays in the 2010s (again, controversial) they’re certainly going through a style renaissance to become a go-to winter shoe.
Typically made from sheepskin, which provides warmth and comfort to the wearer, the boots have a soft and plush texture.
Coming in a variety of colours, styles, and sizes, Ugg boots have a unique design with a suede exterior and a wool interior, which keeps feet warm and dry in cold and damp conditions. Available in a myriad of styles, the versatile boots can be worn by both men and women.
