While we adore over-the-knee boots and leather booties as much as the next person, there is no denying the major appeal of UGGs this season. It’s easy to see why so many It girls are gravitating towards the sherpa lined booties. After all, it isn’t everyday that you’ll find a trendy shoe that merges the best of style and comfort into one. UGG themselves were notorious for being the love-hate footwear style of the 2000’s. Yet today, they’ve become a top pick for modern dressing, expanding from casual outfits to making a mark on more formal looks too. It’s just further proof that UGGs are not only cozy but versatile. To prove how much we think UGGs are here to stay, we took to instagram to find the best of the best. From comfy classics to tailored separates, these cult-favorite boots can do it all. Scroll ahead for the looks worth recreating.

1) Bomber Jacket + Flared Denim
Gone are the images of UGGs from your middle school days. Instead, fashion girls have found ways to make them feel modern and hip. An effortless way to do so is by sticking to the basics. A pair of flared denim is a match made in heaven for your cozy boots. To further seal the deal, top off your look with a covetable bomber jacket and you are bound to secure compliments wherever you go.

2) Leg Warmers
Just when you though UGGs could not get cozier, they happen to make for the ideal match with leg warmers. This trend-setting winter accessory can be worn in conjunction with the classic UGG short boots. Sydney styles her booties and leg warmer combo with a pinstripe midi skirt and trench coat. But, feel free to layer on a pair of tights for added insulation.

3) Leather Pants
On the fence about these wildly popular shoes? As it turn out, UGG boots can be tailored to those with an edgier aesthetic. Case in point is Laura’s look featuring none other than a pair of trusty leather pants. Notice how the rest of the look is kept comfy and oversized in an effort to channel that model-off-duty aesthetic.

4) Oversized Coat
There are two holy grail items in our winter closet this year and they just happen to look even better together. We’re talking about an oversized coat and UGG boots. Styling-wise, follow Imogen’s lead and pair with a simple white tee and loose denim. To top it off, a polished handbag will ensure the look is smart and put together.

5) Do Everything Catsuit
Yoga at 10 and a coffee date at 11? Tackle both in this infallible outfit. A sleek catsuit is practically made for the busiest of days. This all-in-one piece is one of the most underrated closet must-haves. Weekend warriors merely need to throw on the sherpa boots and a snug knit cardigan to call it a day.

6) Matching Set
Knit sets seemingly have us in a chokehold all through winter. They make getting dressed for the cold seem like a walk in the park. From coordinating two-piece sets to knit top and skirt combinations, you can look and feel your best knowing that UGG boots will be an impeccable finishing piece. If you do decide to step outside, be sure to accent with modern accessories, like sleek sunglasses and a shoulder bag.

7) Boyfriend Blazer
A blazer is a foolproof way to immediately feel more polished. As we know, this handy outerwear item is no longer restricted to the office. For instance, a boyfriend blazer layered over a hoodie and a pair of wide leg pants is a home run in our books. But its undeniably made better with a classic pair of chestnut UGG boots.

8) Faux Fur
If it isn’t obvious by now, UGG boots are not just made for loungewear and sweatpants. They can be worn with the most luxurious pieces in your wardrobe. Exhibit A is this influencer rocking a full faux fur coat with sherpa booties. Glam has never been cozier.

9) Maxi Skirt
Maxi skirts will continue to reign supreme in 2023 so why not get ahead of the curve and adapt them for wintry weather now? Believe it or not, a streamlined maxi skirt makes for a foolproof pairing with UGG shoes. Whether it’s a sleek khaki midi or a romantic slip skirt, the possibilities are truly endless when it comes to styling your UGGs – both booties and slippers alike.

10) Playful Knits
The merits of UGG boots boil down to the incredibly soft sherpa lining. Thus, it only makes sense to tackle the cold in a similar way. Emili rocks her booties with a playful striped sweater and bold beanie for the ultimate winter outfit. From there, relaxed, frayed hem jeans and tub socks make for the ideal weekend uniform.
Whether you’re running errands, going to work, or hitting the town, these looks are proof that UGGs add a touch of effortless style to any outfit. Their greatest appeal lies in their ability to bring together comfort and style, making them the perfect shoes for any occasion. Be sure to take advantage before winter is over.
