A web search on sexy Uggs brought me to this page which seems to support alphabassettgrrl's assertion. However, I the Ugg advertsing campaign puts up a good argument in refutation:

Potentially NSFW

Just wait until Uggs are out of style. It'll become another "what were we thinking?" fashion flashback joke abused by stand-up comedians.

They've been "in style" since high school. Like Vans and Chucks, I'm not sure they are going anywhere.

I want a pair, but they are way expensive.

Well, I was long out of HS, but point taken. :blush: They have been around for years. When I first saw them I thought for sure they'd be a short lived fad. I thought they were so ugly. I can't afford/do not own real ones, but my fake ones are awfully comfy. I owned them for about a year before I ever wore them out of the house, I just used them as slippers at first. I wear my Cons a lot more often.

And here I'm thinking, "what a shame my ass dosen't look like that." :p



This pair is the latest in a line. I started getting them years ago for the practical purpose of an apres ski boot), then they became popular as a fashion item (it always amused me when all of my friends who laughed at my "hideous boots" suddenly started sporting them). This current pair needs to be replaced...they are decorated with "puppy art" (read: they are chewed up in spots) from a couple of years ago. I justify the price since they usually last 5 or so years before they look totally ratty and need to be replaced.

You know what's even more dumb looking than Ugg boots? Children in school uniforms wearing Ugg boots. Saw that the other day. Of course, anything worn with school uniforms looks out of place.

If you like Uggs, enjoy, style is personal and subjective, but I think they look like snow boots. Clumsy, oversized, and especially dumb when paired with shorts in SoCal in the summer.

I still don't want Crocs either.

Uggs are quite the fashion trend here on the bitter east coast. As part of Headliners campaign to acquire a pair, we received regular reports on the number of kids wearing them at school (ave ~95 pairs / day). They don't look bad when paired with winter clothes and I'm given to understand they are extra cool because they make a convenient place to discretely carry your cell phone.
