Ugg Boots, Woolly boots, Australian Sheepskin boots or what ever your preferred name for Ugg Boots, there is no denying that Uggs are the current phenomenon in teenager and adult fashion. You will most probably end up wearing them a lot more than your most liked pair of jeans, your best hoodie and especially your old smelly trainers!
So if you’ve been living the life of a hermit and have not yet discovered the Ugg phenomenon, here’s a rundown on exactly what this brand new kind of footwear is all about and why it is proving to be so astonishingly loved by young and old alike.
Men and women in Australia have been in love with Ugg boots for more than 220 years and they represent a way of life in Australia. Ugg’s are so widespread in Australia that attempts to trademark the term Ugg Boots failed as it was descriptive of a type of boot and not a particular product.
Aussie’s adore the outdoors, and in spite of the heat of the Australian dessert, there are plenty of times of the year, and places in Australia where the warmth of natural sheepskin is a definite plus in the land down under. Well-liked by the surfing crowd, the sight of a set of Uggs appearing from the side of a VW combi has been gracing the coast line of Bell’s Beach since the 60’s. It was just a short voyage over the Pacific from Aussie beach wear to Hollywood sheik-wear with female celebrity’s getting their women’s Uggs on such as Pamela Anderson, and magazine’s like Marie Clare, Teen Vogue and Cosmo featuring celebrity megastars and starlets sporting the newest in sheepskin ugg boot fashion. In recent times men’s ugg boots have come into the arena and they are frequently to be seen in the homes and on the streets of Los Angeles, New York and Birmingham.
Ask your typical Australian and they’ll let you know about the pair of Uggs they wore in their teen years, but ask the average US or UK teenager, and they will *show* you the set of Uggs they’re wearing this week. Generally for girls it will be a pair of women’s tall Uggs in ever popular classic style – you just can’t beat classic looks.
Love em, hate em or just curious – you won’t find a more comfy, and warm type of attire for your tootsies and who knows – you might just look awesome getting your Ugg on!
