10 Ugg Outfit Ideas That Make the "Ugly" Shoe Staple Work for Any Occasion

As the weather gets colder, you're not alone if you have found yourself reaching for your go-to Uggs more often—this "ugly" shoe staple has major staying power for its comfort and versatile styling appeal. But we also understand if from time to time, you get stumped on creating an Ugg-centric outfit that still feels inspired. If this is you, look no further: We've been tracking the celebrities and street style stars to find the ensembles that highlight how Uggs have the same range and statement potential as other trending styles like motorcycle boots, Sambas, and Mary Janes. No matter your style or color preference (and there are many), you've got options when it comes to making these cozy shoes work with your personal style for any given occasion, even the unexpected: After all, who's to say that you can't pair Uggs with a chic two-piece set or even tailored pants?

Whether you're forever a Tasman fan or riding the trendy wave of the Classic Ultra Mini Platform Boots, adore neutral shades or vibrant colors, there's a not-so-basic Ugg outfit idea for you. Keep scrolling for ten outfits featuring Ugg boots and slides guaranteed to spice up your wardrobe.

Cozy Coquette

As the coquette aesthetic rages on, we're drawn to this super feminine ensemble featuring Ugg's Classic Ultra Mini Boots in a baby pink shade. The oversized sweater, 'no-pants' look pairs nicely with '80s-style leg warmers, as well as a hair bow and a shiny pink patent purse that coordinates with the shoes.

Knit One, Suede Two

When paired with Uggs, a chic, two-piece knitwear set typically reserved for work or going out gains a second life as an on-the-go outfit. Key accessories like a sleek purse, oversized sunnies, athletic ankle socks, and (of course) a coffee in hand take the look from night to day.

Cropped and Cargo

Combat boots may be your go-to footwear when slipping on a pair of cargo pants, but Uggs are the less obvious and, frankly, more comfortable choice. It adds a laid-back, outdoorsy vibe to an otherwise edgy look. We love how the red of the braided trim adds a pop of color to this neutral-toned ensemble, too.

Cozied Up

For a warm, coffee-shop-ready outfit, flared leggings paired with your favorite sweater and an oversized scarf will fit the bill. This look gives coastal grandma vibes in a running-errands-around-town way—especially when you add a nautical-inspired canvas tote.

Classic Athleisure

An athleisure set in a calming neutral—like Jasmine Tookes' mix-and-match oatmeal and cream workout gear—embodies effortless quiet luxury energy, made especially chill and refreshing with a pair of Uggs. Add classic aviator sunglasses and understated jewelry to nail the look.

Full Blaze Ahead

Here, Elsa Hosk steps out in white trousers and Uggs that epitomize on-the-clock comfort. The oversized gray blazer balances out the chunkiness of the thick platform slippers, creating a seamless look ready for the boardroom.

All Dressed Up

Color coordination is the key to making the unconventional pairing of a dress and Uggs look complementary. Match your boots to a hue already present in your look, as in the example above, and your outfit will look instantly pulled together. Another Ugg outfit styling trick is to pull in both casual elements (like ankle socks) and dressier pieces (like on-trend handbags and jewelry) for a high-low moment.

Revamped Duo

There's no reason to retire your beloved classic uniform of Uggs, leggings, socks, and sweaters. Give your slippers a polished, luxe touch by pairing them with an oversized, long wool coat, wraparound scarf, and a striking handbag. It's comfy and chic for your coffee run.

Snug Night Out

Keke Palmer shows us how Ugg boots can go from day to night with her midnight-hued cropped denim jacket, midi skirt with a sky-high leg slit, and suede platforms that are in the coziest of brown shades.

Jeans Day

There's no getting around the obvious—jeans and Uggs just work so well together. Whether you opt for slouchy boyfriend jeans, wide-leg denim, or flares, then choose a light, dark, or vivid wash from there, you can't wrong with this classic pairing.
