Baby, it's cold outside! But, with the right cold weather boot, your feet will be fashionably warm and dry. Sometimes it's hard to find fun and fashion in a shoes meant for function. That's why we're breaking down the top designers and latest trends in cold weather boots! From popular brand names to affordable options, we've lined up the best and brightest to help you find the perfect cold weather boot.
You can't really say cold weather boot without think of the Ugg Brand. Uggs have certainly made their mark in the cold weather boot category. But, they've been around for a bit, now. So, what are the best ways to wear them Read on to find out how you can keep this funky trend fresh. A really basic way to stay fresh is to shy away from the chocolate or chestnut colors boots that first became a hallmark of the Ugg brand. If your specific style isn't available in some of the riskier colors (think along the lines of eggplant, pink, or yellow), slide into a pair of black Uggs. Adding a classic color to a new fad adds a nice bit of personality to your shoe. Fringe, exterior sheepskin, and embroidery are all a few of the new features you can find from this cold weather boot. Another super quick and easy way to modernize your Uggs is to pair them with skinny jeans or pants, instead of tucking sweats or baggy pants in them. This will keep your naturally slouchy cold weather boots looking sleek and chic.
Want the Ugg look for less There are a couple of great, affordable options, which have their own, unique embellishments--think along the lines of toggles and ties. Some of our favorites are Emu, Beach Feet, and Sketchers. A quick note about the Ugg family of cold weather boots: if you do intend to wear these puppies in rain, sleet, or snow, be sure to buy waterproofing spray. Without it, the suede is unable to handle wet weather. But, once you put it on, you're set! (I have two pairs that have lasted me three years in Boston winters.)
Now, for a sleeker take on a cold weather boot, who better to turn to than London Fog- the king of cold weather wear Yes, it's true; they make shoes, too! For a super chic take on a cold weather boot, check out 'The Wales' line. Lined with extra warm Thermolite materials, your feet will stay dry without being weighed down. Already pre-water-proofed, you won't have to buy any extra spray for these beautiful, sleek, upper-calf-length tan boots. For a less city-sider look, and more rugged cold weather boot that can withstand nearly any kind of weather, you definitely won't be disappointed with London Fog's Zoey Boot. Lined with sheepskin, like our Uggs, this boot features the same Thermalite texture as 'The Wales' line, so you'll get the comfort and warmth of an ultra thick, lined boot, with a chic, smooth exterior.
So, whether Uggs tickle your fancy, or you're looking for sleek, chic cold weather boots, you're sure to find the style you want in cold weather boots. You can dress up and accessorize your Uggs in a way to keep them fresh, or look to the comfort and warmth of an Ugg, with a city-sleek look!
Where the Name "
ugg boots" Originated
Legend has it that "ugg" is short for "ugly" - so, "
ugg boots" apparently meant "ugly boots." For decades, "ugg" was generic term used for sheepskin boots made in Australia. The word was so commonplace that it was found in Australian dictionaries, and
ugg cardy boots were also known as "ug" or "ugh" boots.
But in the United States, when people refer to "UGG boots," they're usually talking about the
ugg shoes made by Deckers Outdoor Corporation, the parent company of "UGG Australia."
So if you're traveling the world and talking about footwear, it's good to know that when the term "ugg boot" is used, it could be referring to an Australian-made sheepskin boot, or a popular brand name boot.
