To UGG or Not to UGG? That is the Question

November is upon us making it officially winter coat and boot weather.  Though socialites may be able to buy an endless supply of stylishly warm boots to be worn over leggings and skinny jeans, no amount of privilege can keep you away from the winter winds.  But, when it comes to staying warm and stylish during this time of year, every fashionista must ask themselves this same age old or should I say New Age question: Are UGGs hot or not? Though the brand has evolved from the Classic Tall and Short, to dressier styles such as the Highkoo II that I currently have my eye on, UGG will always possess the elements of casual luxury.  I am also in the market for a warm pair of moccasins.

Though some say that UGGs have gone out of style, I completely disagree.  However, I am bias having graduated from Syracuse University where UGGs allowed me to keep my toes from frostbite during the bitterly cold, yet beautiful white winters, I believe that feelings warm and snug will always be in style.  Plus, every UGG boot you see plays homage to their early adopters iconic socialites, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.  As a result of UGG’s recent collaboration with Jimmy Choo, now you can have the best of both words.  Tamara Mellon, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Jimmy Choo revealed that the only shoes she has in her wardrobe besides Jimmy Choos are UGGs.  This genius collaboration is the ultimate combination of comfort and glitz.  So go ahead, UGG it out.
