Ugg boots mania

Apr 15, 2009 15:21

Something crossed my attention this spring: everyone is wearing Ugg boots. Ugg boots look good, cost too much and seem to be worn during the warm time of the year. But something is very strange!!!! I haven't seen anyone wearing these 100% sheep-skin, very warm-looking boots during the snowy times in February . But now - the weather is warm and ( Read more... )

I don't have Ugg boots, because I can't justify spending that much money on something I would only be able to wear a few days out of the year. Plus I like a sleeker look in boots.

But, I do have an Ugg purse which is small and cute and soft and fluffy, but I've never used it. I have a thing for purses. :)

Now that I found a webside with them I am very tempted to get Uggs for winter, even may be to wear in the house.

but from what you said about the weather in your parts - it definitely doesn't cold enough. :(

Sometimes I wonder if there's anyone out there in the fashion world who makes fun of us, and says we should wear ballerina shoes during winter and these boots during summer. Seriously, sometimes fashion trends are ridiculous :-\

Indeed. At the same time I should remember when I was young I used to wear very thin tights even at -20 -30 degrees. You do these things when you are young. :D

I've actually seen this in Miami too. Seeing these girls in the middle of Spring or Summer in mini skirts and these thick Ugg boots just makes your mind go, "..the fuck?" Because it does seem really counterproductive.

Miami!!! I am quite curious to buy some for myself and see how warm they are. I can't imagine how someone can endure hot feet just for the sake of fashion, I hate when my feet are hot.

Yeah, Ugg boots in Miami. If that doesn't "slave to fashion" (or at least "slightly retarded") I don't know what will.

I KNOW! It's bad enough having to deal with hot weather, but when you have to walk around with your feet stuck in their own personal saunas, that's just torture.

I personally think Ugg boots are kind of ugly, and I wouldn't want to wear them.

I am in southern california right now and people love them around here. They wear in spring and with shorts.

I think the fad starting from australia may have something to do with it. I also think it is more about the look rather than the warmth in places like southern california. Uggs are expensive so they symbolize some kind of income. Also in colder places where they actually get snow, uggs are too expensive to ruin them in snow.

Also even just wearing a scarf around the next, or socks make a huge difference in how warm your entire body is. So while you can go around in tanktops and shorts in cool weather, you can warm up with uggs which balances out your overall comfort level.

You see, I have also been curious about this phenomena and have given it some thought. LOL.
It boggled my mind until I worked some the reasons out. I still think the combination of shorts and uggs is weird though.

This. They're not uggs, but if I didn't wear my favorite boots even when it's a little warm, I'd never wear them at all -- I don't want to ruin them on the cold, wet, mushy days!
