  • the ugg-ly thoughts.

    these days, the weather is rapidly changing as new england transitions into the autumn season. the once warm air suddenly becomes rigid and brisk, and a change of apparel is in need.

    girls at my school go from booty shorts and t-shirts to hideous fuzzy tracksuits... with ugg boots.

    i remember the first time my eyes set sight on these boots. it was in seventh grade. the twins in my grade, known to attack the "in fashion" apparel, were the only people to have worn uggs in school. one twin owned the blue uggs, the other twin owned the pink uggs. majority comments revolved around uggs were negative.

    then suddenly, as i walked through the high school doors, uggs were in.

    i didn't understand why they were so popular. for starters, the name UGGS sounds completely barbaric. (needless to say, uggs were originally made for the australian surfer to wear after s/he got out of the water at night because the temperature would drop drastically. oh, and they were based off "cavemen style" i read, thus the name uggs.) 

    and i'm baffled as to why, once uggs became popular, every girl wearing uggs had the same mindset of what outfit they should wear.

    uggly

    when wearing ugg boots, it is supposedly necessary to wear:

    one: a shirt with a layered tank and jeans - either messily stuffed into or rolled above the uggs.
    response: i suppose this is okay. i mean, ugg boots are still boots, nonetheless. supposedly incredibly warm and comfortable. i guess rolling (or stuffing) the pants is all for the sake of flamboyantly saying "i own ugg boots, and so should you."
    two: tacky colored tracksuit, generally fuzzy, of the color teal, magenta, or fuschia, low cut white tank top, and pants stuffed messily into uggs.
    response: the fuzzy tracksuits are bad enough. they're horrific, in my point of view. and uggs, they're kind of ugly, too. that math fact, two negatives make a positive does not apply to this awful combination of bad colored, fuzzy tracksuits and uggs.
    three: a shirt with layered tank (or solely a long shirt) with short short short shorts, excessively revealing legs.
    response: see response four.
    four: a shirt with layered tank (or solely a long shirt) with short short short skirt, excessively revealing legs.
    response: WHAT THE FUCK? the short skirts are, i suppose, more acceptable in the summertime. but considering it is like 40-50 degrees outside, how does a pair of ugg boots still keep a person warm when ALL OF THAT LEG is being shown. i don't understand this outfit decision AT ALL yet it is so popular amongst girls in high school, and otherwise. what is the point of this outfit? are uggs really all that distinguish a summer outfit and a fall/winter outfit?

    okay. so i suppose that for the most part, uggs are "alright." it is more or less the ensembles worn with uggs that bother me.

    and as a general observation, those that wear uggs are just complete bitches to me, too.

     

    also, when the snowy weather comes along, the girls will cry and wail in class saying, "oh no! my uggs got wet!"

    uh hello. we live in new england, we get like 654651657 feet of snow every year. of course your uggs are going to get a little wet.

    so can someone tell me why they're so awesome? or why they're worn with whatever people wear them with?

    because i think that the ugg-ensemble decision is just an ugg-ly epidemic in my school.

    yes. i definitely think uggs are ugg-ly.

    (and don't get me started on crocs. i hear you can eat those things, too.)

    thank you thank you thank you!
    you just pretty much summed up the years of pain of watching girls wear them.
    they pretty much look like they're going cave hunting or whatever. creepy. :)
  • CrazYells

    though i think i can rock em pretty well.. (cuz apparently i seem to? EW) i think they are the ugliest things next to crocs. x]

    they need to die and burn in hell. /shudders. x]
  • TheSpaceBass

    agreed.
  • La_dolce_vida

    LOL I wear them sometimes because they honestly keep my feet/lower legs warm. I've worn them with a mini-skirt but then again, I live in So Cal so although it gets cool, it doesn't get butt freezing cold. I wear them mainly for comfort/warmth, not to look like a total b*tch. But I have seen the type of girls that you describe. They are usually high school girls though and I'm far from high school age. -__-
  • curvilinearlines

    THANK YOU!
    The ONLY good thing about uggs is that they are warm and comfortable. I don't own a pair but I've tried them on and I can at least say that about them.
    This does not, however, mean that they are acceptable as a part of your every freaking day wardrobe. I get so sick of seeing them every day in the winter, and then it's even worse when the girls freak out because they got a little wet...uh, hello? Winter = snow. Get some other winter weather boots, there are plenty of more fashionable ones at a much lower price.
  • ModelAmbition

    i personally believe that Uggs should be only worn inside the house on a cold wet rainy day, when, perferbly, no one is going to see you... but you have to get the REAL ugg boots, not the tacky pink, purple or blue ones, i have to admit, nothing against americans, love you guys, but the US consumer market ruined the ugg boots for the rest of us.. pink?! what were they thinking!!
  • godsreflection

    OMGoodness....I was just talking to someone about those stupid boots today. And how girls can wear them with short short things!

    I agree with everything you have said. Ugg-ly boots!!!
  • youcantbecasey

    They scare me.
    Some girl at my school was going on and on about how she just HAD to have new Uggs this year or she would totally flip.
    They are ugly boots.
    Just plain ol' ugly.
    I'd rather see the jeans tucked in though too.
    Sweatpants are atrocious. >:[
  • jed_paul

    you know which boots looks worse?those ones with fuzzy pom pom things on them...I CANT STAND THOSE!I just wanna rip it off whenever I see someone wearing those kind of boots
  • MochaSprinkle

    They're suuuuuuper comfy! And as for your 3 and 4 styles of how to wear them, I think it just depends on the person. For me, I can have my legs pretty much uncovered so long as my upper body is covered and warm. If I'm wearing 3 layers of pants and just a tank top though, I'll shiver forever. People feel cold differently :)
  • mr_faust

    UGH! i don't get why somethings are stylish to a mass crowd

  • feffling
    uh-huh

    Mad props. Mad props. I totally agree. Uggs = F-Ugg-ly. I know a guy in my lab has a pair, he wore them once and I gave him a hard time. But then again he teaches ice skating all over the place, but still, regular man boots and double socks would be better, no?

  • DBF21

    Damn. I guess there are some things I'll never get cause those are plain ugg-ly. haha.
  • overdrawn

    Yeah... Uggs are like crocs. FUGLY AS SHIT.
    I've always hated uggs...
  • driftedstars
    You're awesome!

    I HATE UGGS.


    Props to you for writing this!

  • kaitlyn_in_wonderland

    so can someone tell me why they're so awesome? or why they're worn with whatever people wear them with?


    I can answer your questions!


    I live in New Jersey and ADORE my uggs. First off, the reason I wear them in general is for comfort and warmth. Even in the dead of winter they keep my feet warm and cozy. As to why people wear them like whores, is beyond me. I hate when people wear uggs with shorts or capris or super short skits, it defeats the purpose of their job. I only wear ever wear them really with jeans and i took them in nice and neat, don't worry. & if your uggs get wet, get over it. When you buy them they give you a spray that you spray your uggs with to protect them from the weather anyway.


    As for the name, I'll I have to say is at least they're better than Emu's!
  • silence_of_words

    The name designer probably had the same idea, calling them uggs.
    It's just too easy to make fun of it by putting an -ly at the end.
  • laurenmaureen

    hahahaha i hate to say it, but i adore my uggs. i agree with you on the track suits and shorts though... EW. but the skirt... some can pull that off if it's not skanky short or if they were tights with it, so their legs aren't completely frozen. and as for getting them wet, umm it's called spray girls. they sell that kind of stuff.


    but i like them because they're mega comfortable, and can look really cute. i never "messily" stuff my jeans inside them because i wear skinny jeans so they go in neatly =]
  • lovealways_l

    Thank you!  I totally agree!  They are stupid and ugly.
  • publicjammin225

    haha i've never owned a pair of uggs in my life. seriously, i hate it when things become overly-hyped fads in high school. don't even get me started about all the ridiculous fads at mine.

    and aren't the point of uggs to walk in the snow comfortably? aren't they snow boots?!? soo... THEY SHOULD BE GETTING WET!

    but i supposed uggs are better than crocs. ugh crocs make me wanna puke. who cares if crocs are really comfortable... THEY'RE NOT FORGIVABLE IN THE LEAST BIT!
  • Lost_In_Reverie

    I think that Uggs are ugly. I've never owned a pair, but I have worn them, and yes, they're comfortable, but in the same way that my sister's mukluks are comfortable; warm and cozy, but not for outside the house. 


    There are few things I find less flattering for a person to wear than multicolored tracksuits stuffed messily into these big fuzzy boots. (Of course, I'm the kind of person who specifically buys skinny jeans and leggings to wear with her boots because I can't stand the thought of my pants bunching above my boots and making me look ridiculous.)
  • TiRocKiinPiinK

    I can't answer your questions because I just find uggs hideous. I prefer to buy normal snow boots or timbs where my pants go over the boot. 
  • be_lie

    *shudder*
  • simplicityx29

    whenever I see a pair of uggs I get hungry. they look like loaves of bread on someone's feet
  • vamp168

    Totally agree with you ... ugg boots are just plain ugly and girls in uggs are just not my thing !
