Ugg Boots, Ugg Slippers and More

By Julie Hellstrom

Okay, I don't know if you have noticed but almost every single teenager I see is wearing Ugg slippers. Not just the girls, but now the boys, too!

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.

The name is certainly recognizable, because of the popularity in the last couple of years of Ugh boots. In fact popularity is putting it mildly. Anyone who wants to be anyone (teen thinking, not mine!) has to have them. They are showing up in the true-to-form retro 80's look with leggings and long sweaters.

However, my friend tried her daughter's on and she said they were soooo totally comfy!! In fact, she is thinking that she is going to have to have a pair. Which means I will have to in order to keep up with her, of course!! The soft sheepskin interior is great for feet warming.

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.

Dignity in tact, letting my teen purchase this "everyone is wearing them, Mom" item, I will of course point out the sensibilities and dependability of the slipper. And boy don't they look cute on those teens! - 15343
