Ugg Boots, Ugg Slippers and More

By Julie Hellstrom

Have you seen the latest trend with your teenagers? Everyone is wearing Ugh slippers, both the boys and the girls, really!

These are your basic sheepskin slip-ons kind of slippers for the girls. And the boys like what we used to call (man does this date me) moccasin slippers. Of course, the only name in sheepskin is Uggs.

You might recognize the name - they are the makers of those Australian sheepskin boots that have been off-the-chart popular for a few years - they're back again this year. Ugh boots worn with leggings or skinny jeans tucked in and a big bulky sweater are the hit!

Now, I'd never admit this to my teens, but I love them too! They are comfy and fashionable (can't beat that!) with the warm sheepskin for winter and they can even be worn in summer because the sheepskin actually acts as moisture-wicking Double bonus!

Classic style features on these wonderful slip-ons include exposed cuffs and decorative top-stitching. Suede soles have the signature UGG logo which is very important when you are trying to be an "in" teenager.

And you cannot neglect upgrading your shoe collection with a new stylish pair of Ugs boots. Winter is close by and these are, I believe, now a staple in every women's closet. Plus, you get a bonus, because I have seen the Olsen Twins (teenage fashion sensations) wearing them with shorts. Cute and flirty. Ugg boots are not off-limits anywhere or anytime.

So as much as I have always despised hearing the infamous words "but Mom, everyone is wearing them", this might be the one area we give in, of course because they are sensible! - 16083
