RANT/RAVE UGGS

RANT

BY CRISTINA FORMICHELLI

Listen, I am someone who has worn UGG boots in the past, so I feel it may be hypocritical for me to slander them. However, because I wore them when I was, like, 10 years old, and it has been a decade since, I think I have room to judge. I sincerely apologize to anyone who likes wearing UGGs, but I am questioning you on that aspect of your wardrobe. They are not cute and honestly have not aged well with fashion trends. The shoes are so chunky in a not cute way. They just look so unattractive. One can be absolutely gorgeous and fashionable and they still will ruin a ‘fit. I cannot imagine myself wanting to pair my outfit with a tacky pair of shoes like UGGs. They also suck in the winter; I know we typically wear them in the winter, and they are warm, but when I wore UGGs, my feet still got damp walking in the snow. There is absolutely no need for these shoes to continue to be as popular or as widespread as they are. I do not get how they are still being massproduced. They are just so ugly, like, I cannot deal with those shoes. At the end of the day, I obviously cannot tell people what to wear. If something makes you happy, do it. But, does it really make you that happy wearing UGGs?
