UGG boots are a good idea this season. We know that this shoe divides opinions in the fashion world: there are those who hate UGG boots and others who love them. It's worth giving it a shot in 2022.
This debate seems to come down to their shape: they are too thick to flatter the figure, not to mention that they do not have a heel, but simply have a flat sole raised only a few centimeters on the back of the foot (beware! wear ultra-flat and back-damaging imitations!). An ideal option if what you want is to go beyond classic black boots.
Ugly and comfortable shoes are back. From Uggs to chunky rubber shoes, here's how fashion has changed.

However, those who love them argue that (albeit with their somewhat ugly appearance) they are perfect for their softness, warmth and comfort. Also for being the best winter shoes, especially if they are good brown boots.
Taking note of these characteristics -and almost following the methodology of a SWOT matrix- the American company in recent years has been experiencing considerable success thanks to two low-waisted models: we are talking about the ultra mini and mini UGG.
Both stand out for their height: the boots reach the ankle, without covering them, which allows them to be used freely inside and outside the home, just like soft "slippers".
The best winter looks with leggings and boots.

We all agree on the facts: those who loved UGGs back in the early 2000s, when there was a boom with these winter boots, never stopped. to use them. And it is that they always found a time of the year to take them out of the closet and thus warm up cold feet or simply to achieve greater comfort (A winter that is too cold? A weekend in the mountains? A walk with your dog at dawn? A little earring on your block?).
However, several things have changed in these 20 years. The typical look with UGG boots from the 2000s included a pair of low-rise jeans, and thick leggings or tights plus a miniskirt. This all went perfectly with a furry vest and long scarf. Sunglasses were essential (even in the rain!) in order to achieve a "diva" effect from reality shows.
But looking at the latest street style looks, we notice a certain freedom in the use of UGG's mini or ultra mini models. And this is the last point in favor that we have found. These winter 2022 ankle boots can be worn with straight leg jeans and an oversized masculine blazer (Elsa Hosk), or with a leather jacket and fluorescent sweatshirt (instead of shorts, just imagine Emily Ratajkowski in long pants). and widths).
It is also worth seeing the looks of Kaia Gerber -who is not afraid to wear white socks over leggings, while wearing a maxi plush animal print jacket-, and finally Irina Shayk -with a sportwear outfit combined in pastel tones from tye-die, biker pants and a sweatshirt.
To demonstrate that UGG boots are perfect at any age, the firm itself makes it clear: Cher is the new protagonist of the current advertising campaign with two very exotic looks: In one of the images we see her with a pair of delicious green patchwork pants and in the other, as a mythical goddess in a cherry colored velvet caftan and the ultra mini model in black.
