Uggs
This is a photo of some of my sorority sisters. The three girls in the middle are wearing Uggs, my personal favorite fashion statement in the world. They are the most comfortable shoes ever and they keep your feet very warm. The ugg boot is a generic term for a style of boot, constructed of sheepskin, with the wool as the inner lining and a tanned outer surface. Ugg boots often have a synthetic sole, although this is not always the case. They evolved in Australia as a type of slipper for cold weather use and are also known as ugh boots and ug boots. In Australia, sheepskin boots have long been popular with people in rural occupations, who have ready access to the raw materials, such as sheep shearers. Their popularity increased as a result of World War I and World War II, when sheepskin boots were popular with aviators, because of their need to keep warm in exposed conditions at high altitudes. Ugg boots have also been popular with surfers and competitive swimmers since at least the 1960s, for keeping warm while out of the water. Nevertheless, in Australasia, bogans and members of related subcultures are generally the only people who wear them in public. Most other Australians only wear ugg boots around the house, or at the most, trips no further than the local corner shop, although recent fashion interest has given them more exposure. They became extremely popular in 2003 when the brand UGG Australia started marketing them. Since then they have been worn by many celebrities out shopping, going out to eat, and even on the red carpet. In 2005, fashion magazines said "bye, bye" to Uggs, however they are still going strong and I dont care if they go out of fashion or not, I will still be wearing them in the winter.
