Fashion Trends: Ugg Boots Sweep the U.S.

All over the United States Ugg boots and slippers are becoming increasingly popular with both men and women. This comfortable and fashionable trend started about two years ago, when celebrities began to wear the boots. The public quickly caught on and today, the Ugg Australia brand is booming. Started around 1978, by Brian Smith, the Ugg Australia company has expanded largely.

With mens, womens and kids collections, the Ugg brand can be worn by all ages and sexes. They come in a variety of colors, designs, shapes, and materials.

Typically costing around 155$, depending upon style, the shoes are affordable for most consumers. Manufactured in Australia, the boots are guaranteed to have the luxury and comfort promised with every pair of shoes. Made with the finest grade-A sheepskin and quality leathers and suede, Ugg shoes are assured to please buyers.

In high-schools all over the nation as well as runways in Milan, these sheepskin boots are being obsessed over. Providing both comfort and style, the boots are being worn with everything: jeans, sweatpants, dresses and even shorts. The diversity of these shoes is what makes them so popular with both young teens and fashion gurus.

However, there are some people against of the Ugg brand, referring to the boots as “Ugglies”. This small group rebuffs the idea of the “furry boots”. These rejections are made mostly by men, who don’t see the purpose in wearing sued boots with shorts in the summer-time, like many teens do. But to these teens, the boots are the perfect choice to any outfit. Both with such a wide selection, the boots can be bought to match any ensemble.

The Ugg Australia brand has made many significant achievements over the years. In 2003, it was named “Brand of the Year” by Footwear News. Ugg footwear has also been featured on “Oprah’s Favorite Things” five times since 2000. The brand has recently teamed up with designer Jimmy Choo, to collaborate on a collection of chic and trendy boots.
