These trendy UGGs are a winter necessity
You may know UGG boots as the quintessential-yet-slightly-daggy slipper your mum or grandma always wore, but there's a lot more to them than you might realise.
The UGG brand was inspired by the Ugg boot, which originated in Australia. The sheepskin slipper was exported to the US and became popular among surfers in California in the 1980s, leading a US-based Australian businessman to trademark UGG, the brand we all know and love today.
Known for providing comfort and warmth, pulling out your UGGs is usually a signpost for the start of winter. But as the brand has evolved, it's begun to breed trends of its own.
An early adopter of the clog trend, you can now buy fashion-forward UGGs that are perfect for running errands, wearing to brunch, or as an everyday shoe as you potter around the home. But you can also still grab your cosy UGG slippers, too.
Check out our favourites from the UGG range below.
