The ugly shoe movement is real. From Crocs to Birkenstocks, the runways and street style have been littered with the previously less-than-desirable shoes. Also included in this category are UGG boots, but the winter staples are fighting hard to get off the blacklist.
The brand has recently gone fashion, expanding its range to include more structured, street style-friendly styles. It’s actually keeping pace with the trends, including excess fur and moto boots. Jeremy Scott is doing his part to bring UGG boots back into the fashion consciousness by putting out a collab line full of flames and plenty of bling.
Reintroduce yourself to UGGs by checking out how to wear them in 2018, ways to use them as dupes for other must-have footwear and our favorite UGG boots of the season.
