Stylist Donny Galella told news.com.au checkout he wasn’t surprised to see uggs had surged in popularity.
“Right now in fashion all things Y2K are trending, so it’s perfect timing for the ugg to make its comeback,” he said.

These slippers are super versatile to which you can wear them indoors or outdoors, and they look really cute when paired with anything from casual sweatpants and leggings to baggy jeans and beyond.
Not only are they incredibly cute and warm, but they’re so stinkin’ comfy with and without socks. Now, I’m not gonna lie to you and say they were comfy from the start because they weren’t, especially since these have a platform. But if you’ve owned Uggs before, you’d know they take time to break in and mold to your feet, which is the case for the Tazz.
All in all, I love these slippers as they’re so easy to slip on and make any outfit effortlessly cute. Plus, they’re great quality and totally worth the price.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY SHOULD YOU WEAR SLIPPERS AT HOME?
There are several reasons why people choose to wear slippers at home. These include:
• Comfort: Hard tiles and hardwood floors underfoot provide no support to bare feet. Slippers can offer cushioning between the pads of soles and unforgiving flooring.
• Protection from cold and germs: It tuns out mother was right – bare feet on cold tiles can decrease blood circulation, leading to common health issues easily avoided by protecting your feet.
WHY ARE UGGs SO POPULAR?
While UGGs have always been somewhat popular – and were a fashion must-have in the early 2000s – their recent resurgence owes much to celebrity trendsetters like Bella Hadid, Elsa Hosk, and Beyoncé embracing the classic UGG boot. Beyond celebrity influence, loyal UGG fans appreciate their reliable comfort and warmth, making them a winter staple. Get ready to see UGGs and furry slippers everywhere as temperatures drop.
SHOULD YOU WEAR SOCKS WITH SLIPPERS AND UGG BOOTS?
There’s no hard-and-fast rule when it comes to wearing socks with slippers and boots. If if you want an extra layer of warmth and your slippers or UGG boots are lined with a fabric other than sheepskin, then socks may be a good idea as the sweat from your feet could linger and eventually develop an odour as well as house bacteria. However, if the slippers and boots you have are lined with quality sheepskin, you don’t necessarily need to wear socks as sheepskin naturally wicks away any moisture (sweat) so your feet are left feeling dry and prevents any odour from developing.
