according to aussie (australian) history, the ugg, ug, or ugh boot belonged to natives of australia for the past 200 years. the name of these merino sheepskin boots came from the word ugly, because the boots are just not that attractive.
however, they are comfortable and that has always been their main purpose. the fleece lining actually warms and cools--depending on the season. native's of australia actually used to wear the boots on the beach during the summer.
so as always, trends spread, and something as ugly as ugg boots can even become fashionable. now, here in central new york, one would be hard pressed to find a person without ugg boots--or something relatively similar. with it being so cold here, everyone has them--and in more than one color/style. CNY can be stylish...
the trend has spread as far as men becoming proud owners
of the fleece lined boots. the boots are probably the most unisex boots one can buy, so that is probably why most men can get away with wearing them. of course, they probably don't wear them tucked into jeans like most girls do...
not only have the ugg boots become popular, but they have created the trend of tucking jeans and pants into boots. australian surfer style has become street style all around the world. and what started out as street style has even moved to beco
me a staple in most girls' and guys' wardrobes.
with everyone from celebs to dogs to grandma's adorning the uggs, how can you not one those comfy boots on your feet?
