How to wear UGG shoes? – 5 trendy stylings by S’portofino

The story of UGG – the symbol of californian style

In the 70s, Brian Smith, an Australian surfer came to California with a suitcase full of shoes made from goatskin. They looked quite weird then, they were massive, fluffy, far from the current fashion trends. But when surfers put them on after leaving ice cold water, they quickly understood what the point of them is, they ensured warmth and incredible comfort.

At the very beginning, UGG functioned as a cult but somewhat for the “insider” - known mainly among surfers and people living close to the ocean. It was only with time, thanks to their growing popularity in the United States and their presence in the media, that the boots began to reach a wider audience. In the 1990s, and especially after 2000, UGG boots became one of the symbols of casual, Californian style - appearing on the feet of celebrities, in TV series and on the streets of big cities.

Today, UGG is no longer just a ‘surfer boot’, but a fully-fledged lifestyle brand. In addition to the cult classic snow boots, it has a range of flip-flops, sneakers, slippers and even clothing and accessories. Despite developments and changes in collections, the brand's DNA is still the same - soft sheepskin, a sense of wrap and comfort that feels a bit like walking in slippers... only that on the street.

UGG boots for casual styling

UGG boots are perfect for casual styling - especially when you want to look good but effortless. If you value classics and timelessness, opt for the classic brown UGGs - Tasman or Tazz - and pair them with your favourite jeans, a cashmere jumper and a long wool coat. A set like this always looks good - it's warm, soft and stylish at the same time.

For something a little more minimalist, choose UGGs in a light brown shade and pair them with loose-fitting fabric trousers, a brown jumper and simple accessories. A neutral palette will play well with this look - just a few accessories, such as a bag, hat or scarf, will add character to the look.

If you want to add an urban vibe, add a beanie and oversized scarf and instead of a coat, opt for a short down jacket or leather jacket.UGGs are great for breaking up more polished pieces, so don't be afraid to pair them with smart fabrics - wool, cashmere or knitwear. It's this contrast that makes the look more interesting but still comfortable.

UGG boots with a sporty twist

UGG boots with a sporty twist are the perfect option for those who prioritise comfort but don't want to sacrifice style. They go great with athleisure-inspired outfits. Wear them with tracksuit trousers, a simple sweatshirt or sports jumper and a short puffer jacket. This look is casual, modern and perfect for everyday wear. UGGs also look great with leggings or tailored knit trousers, an oversized sweatshirt, beanie and a roomy shopper or sports bag. This is a look that can be worn both when leaving the house quickly and during a city walk. Simple, comfortable and very contemporary - just the way we like it.

UGG boots styled for work

Styling UGG boots for work is a great option if the dress code allows for a bit of casualness and you don't want to sacrifice comfort. The key is the right mix - go for simple styles, muted colours and good quality materials. Models in classic shades of brown, beige or black will fit in best with the office vibe.

UGGs look great with straight or slightly flared fabric trousers, a knitted turtleneck or smart jumper and a long woollen coat. The look is comfortable and warm, with a touch of elegance. Minimalist accessories such as a leather bag, classic watch or delicate jewellery also work well at work, balancing out the casual character of the shoes. This keeps the styling professional but not stiff. UGGs at work are proof that comfort and good style can go hand in hand - just opt for simplicity and conscious juxtaposition.

UGG boots - perfect for travelling to the furthest corners of the world

When you think of UGG boots, one term comes to mind - comfort. And that's exactly why so many it-girls choose them for travel on the plane, car or train. No lacing, no fastening - you just slip them on like the most comfortable slippers. Their biggest plus, too, is that they act like a small, private thermostat - when the temperature drops, they keep your feet pleasantly warm, and when it gets warmer you're still comfortable and nothing tires you out. If you want to opt for a look that looks fashionable but is still as comfortable as possible, go for a knitted total look - wide-leg trousers or leggings in ribbed knitwear, a fitted top and a cardigan or oversize sweatshirt. UGGs will be the perfect complement here. They'll add that cosy feel you need on the road. Throw on a big scarf, a beanie hat and a classic coat or short down coat and the effect is exactly the way we like it - comfortable but fashionable. It's a travel look that works every time - whether you're heading out of town for the weekend, on a business trip or flying to the furthest corner of the world. With UGG, you're guaranteed to be simply comfortable all the way.

UGG boots with dress

If you prefer dresses or skirts, there's nothing stopping you from pairing them with comfortable UGG boots. Opt for a midi dress in a thicker knit fabric - UGGs add a modern, casual touch to the look. It's an option that's perfect for work or a meeting in the city. The knitted midi fits perfectly with the trend for minimalist ensembles and soft, cosy textures. On top of that, it accentuates the silhouette beautifully, looks elegant and offers great comfort - it doesn't crease so easily and works well on the move. Throw in a wool coat or short down coat and a leather bag for a more polished look. You can also play with proportions. A fitted knitted midi plus an oversized blazer is a duo that always looks stylish and is perfect for everyday wear. If you want to give the styling a gentle twist, opt for a waist belt or choose a dress with a higher collar.
