It is no coincidence that Uggs are so loved: in addition to being trendy, they are very comfortable. When it starts to get cold, every woman (or almost) pulls a pair out of the shoe cabinet to stay warm: celebrities, models, girls and adults. Uggs are versatile boots available in numerous colors and styles. On colder days they can be easily combined with various casual outfits. Investing in a pair of Uggs will keep your feet warm, but will also allow you to show off a trendy accessory for the fall and winter season.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Choose the Right Uggs
Step 1. Choose a model
When you think of Uggs, the first image that comes to mind is that of a classic beige ankle boot with fur inside. Comfortable and soft, the original Uggs have two models: one high and one short. They are certainly to be taken into consideration, but the company now also produces other models that adapt to the various needs of customers. Choose one that fits your wardrobe and lifestyle.
- If you are looking for a warm and comfortable boot, the classic models are perfect. If you don't want the boots to immediately catch the eye, the classic short model is a little more discreet, while the tall one plays a much more important role in the outfit.
- If you are looking for a waterproof boot that can withstand the harshest weather conditions, you can choose between different models. These boots are different from the classic Uggs, so they don't feature their own distinctive shape, but are still trendy and functional. For example, the Adirondack model is made with waterproof leather, suede and a wool lining, ideal for colder days.

Step 2. Choose the right color
When choosing the color you should consider various factors, such as complexion, hair color and wardrobe. If you have fair complexion and hair, colors in earth tones, such as chestnut or brown, will look good. If they are dark, deeper colors like black, gray or blue will suit you best. Either way, choose a color you love!
If you have a wardrobe full of warm colors (red, yellow, orange), consider a beige or brown boot. Pairing warm colored clothes with beige / brown boots will allow you to create a natural look. If you prefer neutral shades (black, gray, white), such a boot will enhance your wardrobe at its best
Step 3. Choose the right material
Snow and rain tend to ruin classic wool-covered Uggs. Although it is a shoe designed for the autumn and winter months, these models are not waterproof. If you live in a cold place, but where it doesn't snow a lot, classic Uggs can be fine, because it's hard for them to get wet. If you live in a rather snowy place, you may want to look for a boot made of a water resistant material.
Method 2 of 3: The Right Mise for Uggs
Step 1. Pair the Uggs with a pair of pants
This boot was designed for the cold months, so it's perfect for fall or winter clothes. If you want to make it the undisputed star of an outfit, put on a pair of latest model jeans. For a discreet result, cover them with flared trousers. To be a bit more daring, combine them with a pair of dark red or green skinny jeans, but make sure the color of the pants matches the boot!
Step 2. Pair them with a pair of leggings
If you prefer leggings to pants, choose a warm pair and combine it with Uggs. For a classy look, wear plain leggings in an earth tone color. To spice up the outfit, choose a patterned pair. Pair them with a loose sweater or long sweater and you'll be ready!
Step 3. Try wearing a cute skirt or dress, as long as you wear these garments with stockings or leggings
For example, you can combine the Uggs with a full blouse and skirt or a winter dress. Generally speaking, make sure the outfit is relatively casual. Uggs weren't made for evening wear.
Step 4. Add accessories
Do not hesitate to give a touch of originality and personality to the Uggs. Wear a bomber-style vest or chunky scarf to stay warm and stylish at the same time. Since Uggs are solid colors, spice up your ensemble with dangling earrings, a necklace or a brightly colored winter hat.
Step 5. Don't combine them with formal dresses
Uggs are trendy and exclusive, but they are still a casual accessory. They are generally not suitable for going to work or for a formal occasion, such as a wedding. Combining them with elegant clothes will give rise to a result that is anything but natural, and the boot will end up standing out in a negative way. Instead, use it when you go out with your friends, to go to a casual lunch, to university or to work (as long as the clothing regulations allow it).
The great thing about Uggs is that you can also wear them with sweatpants! Slip them into your boots when you have to go out on errands or on winter days when you hang out on the sofa. Pair them with a long-sleeved shirt: you'll keep yourself warm, comfortable and trendy (but casual)
Step 6. Don't bring Uggs in the summer
As much as you love them, try to avoid it. They may be comfortable, but Uggs are fur boots that are meant to keep your feet warm. If you wear them in the summer, you not only risk making a false step in terms of fashion, but also ruining them with sweat.
Method 3 of 3: Caring for Uggs
Step 1. Put on your socks
It is normal to be tempted to wear Uggs while leaving your feet bare, but sweat and bacteria will shorten the useful life of these boots. Sweating and microorganisms lurk in the fur, damaging footwear and causing unpleasant odors. The socks will help you keep them looking like new for longer, both in terms of their appearance and their smell.
If they start to smell bad, sprinkle baking soda into the Uggs and let it sit overnight. This substance eliminates bacteria and bad odors. Sprinkle it on your fur even before you put them away for the summer: while they don't have a particularly pungent smell, they will keep them fresh for the next season
Step 2. Don't get them wet
The classic Uggs are unfortunately not waterproof. Carrying them when it rains or snows will inevitably lead to the formation of bacteria and bad smells. If you are dying to wear them on the wettest days, buy a waterproofing spray to protect them.
Step 3. Treat the stains and keep them clean
If they get stained or damaged by water, buy a leather or suede cleaner. Massage it into your boots and leave it on overnight. Fill them with newspaper to help dry and maintain shape. Remember that some cleaners may slightly alter the color of the boots, but will leave them looking like new.
- If they have a particularly bad grease or oil stain, sprinkle them with talcum powder, corn starch, or chalk and let it sit overnight.
- If the stain is stubborn, such as wine or felt-tip pen, try sprinkling hairspray on the affected area and let it sit for a few hours. Then apply some dish soap with a damp cloth and let it dry (you don't have to remove the detergent). You can repeat the process as many times as necessary until complete deletion.
Advice
- When you are not wearing them, keep them in the original box to always have them as new.
- You can buy Ugg-specific cleaning products in order to keep them looking like new. Check out the company's website to purchase products from this line.
- Look for images of celebrities and models wearing Uggs to get ideas on how to match them and be stylish.
Warnings
- Never put Uggs in the washing machine, they can get damaged.
- If you put them on when it rains or snows, beware of the salt that has been sprinkled on the street and sidewalks! It can leave traces on boots, hard white spots that are difficult to remove.
- Don't wear Uggs every day. While they are comfortable, they can damage your feet if they are worn too often. They support relatively little feet and ankles, which are then stressed. Better to alternate them with a good quality pair of winter shoes that support and protect your feet.
