Uggs. The name alone elicits the response I have when seen these worn at all, never-the-less worn in all the wrong ways! For those that didn't know,
Uggs were made originally in Australia for surfers.
Ugg is a word Down Under for sheepskin. Here is my rant, darlings.
If they are being worn with PJ bottoms or sweat pants, it looks unkempt. It brings to mind images of college kids who had to stumble out of their dorm during their exhausted or hungover haze: (Poor Reese, she usually looks very nice.)
Worn with bare legs or nude panty hose and a matching colored skirt looks childish. Great for the kiddies, but not for the women. Matching and childish:

Off balance due to bad coordination and bare legs, and it doesn't matter that it's their advertisement, my opinion stands:
Worn with short shorts, despite the popularity, looks slutty and a bit whorish. (BTW, what did she do to the army sweat jacket? That's criminal and doesn't show respect for our troops.):

I don't like them worn with big, heavy coats or coats made from the same kind of sheep skin since unless you're an Inuit out on the ice tundra. Heavy winter coat: (Kate has been chic more often than not, lets just hope that this was an unfortunate skiing accident!) (Inuit girl From

Highly inappropriate with nice dresses (not that the sweater is helping):

I think the only time in summer that you should wear them is if you are coming back from surfing (like they were originally designed for). But the rest of the summer I think it's not appropriate since they are to make you warm and it is already hot out. Since most of the heat from our bodies escape the top of our heads and the bottom of our feet it can cause overheating and can be
unsanitary from the amount of bacteria building up in the collected sweat . Jeans tucked in or over the
Ugg with a matching colored sweater, not so bad. Black tights, denim mini and a tight sweater, not so bad.
Ways I like them (or find them passable, at any rate):
With French-cuffed jeans (there is an uneven fold in this picture, but not bad):

Neatly tucked:

With Tights (ignore the cap, that would be an entirely different post!):
Careful guys, they have them for men - I very much dislike them:

Ta, darlings!
