Some have embraced it while others are amazed and confused by its success. Although somewhat unconventional in appearance, Uggs have agined a huge following among all social groups and ages. From the warm sands of California to battling the New York winters, Uggs have made their statement.

I too was a non-believer at first, until October of last year, when I received my first, very own pair of Uggs. I must now admit that I would never give them up. The pillowy-goodness that my feet rest upon inside these boots has won me over. The first time you put your foot into that glorious sheepskin, you forget about their high-maintenance needs and rather unattractive exterior as you melt away to a far-off world where everything is warm, soft and comfortable. I also love that I can be fashionable without even trying. I can oversleep and still be able to “look good” by simply throwing on a sweater, a pair of skinny jeans and my Uggs. Instant trendy outfit, zero effort. It’s the fashion equivalent of an Easy Mac dinner.

When it comes to most fashion, women are often required by high fashion to wear 4-inch stilettos, tight, unbreathable clothes and suffer through countless painful processes in order to achieve “beauty.” Maybe we finally decided to give ourselves a break. Maybe we all consciously made the decision to ignore Uggs’ hideous outer appearance and focus only on the softness and warmth they brings us.

Sometimes comfort and practicality win out over pure chic factor; this is one of those instances. Will they become a classic fashion item or die out as a long lived fad? My suggestion: no matter what, keep them in your closet forever!

Now, something needs to be said if Sarah Jessica Parker, one of the most fashionable women in the world, is wearing Uggs.
