It’s Ugg Season—Selena’s Knitwear Styling Has Made the Controversial Shoes Feel Undeniably Luxe

When Uggs first started trickling back onto the scene a few seasons ago, I’ll admit I assumed they were destined for a fleeting revival. After soaring to such heights—and plummeting to equally dramatic lows—I didn’t expect the controversial sheepskin boots to reclaim their place in our wardrobes anytime soon. But I was sorely mistaken. Almost without noticing, outing by outing, the boots quietly replaced sleeker styles as the winter shoe of choice.

Having written them off for so long, I found myself unsure how to style them without looking, and feeling, entirely too slouchy. Then I came across a photo of Selena Gomez that filled me with inspiration.

Wearing a pair of Ugg’s Micro Boots (£130), Selena elevated the casual silhouette by wrapping herself in an oversized, ultra-luxurious knit. Leaning into the scarf knit trend bubbling up this season, the sweeping, cocoon-like detailing introduced a sense of quiet luxury, making her humble Uggs feel indulgent rather than lazy.
