Ughs Over Uggs

uggsWhen I look around my math class every girl seems to be wearing Uggs; same thing in my English, chemistry, and history class.  Uggs are everywhere!  These fuzzy boots come in all styles and colors including black, tan, and crème.  And now there are even boots for guys and babies.  But, this trend is biggest amongst teen girls.

This has brought some questionable fads.  I’ve seen quite a few girls in school, the mall, and at the movies wearing Uggs with shorts–thank goodness there is not a guy equivalent to that.   Why do Uggs make girls think they can combine two seasons of clothes into one outfit?

For guys, it’s tough enough trying to talk to a girl and get noticed.  Should we start wearing winter coats and flip-flops or winter boots and a tank top to fit in?

In our minds, we’re thinking is it warm or cold out?  Make up your mind and choose your outfit that way.  Maybe turn on the news or your computer before leaving for school and check the weather.  That way, you’ll know if you should wear a summer or winter outfit.  If it’s warm wear your shorts with flip-flops and if its cold wear your Uggs and jeans. Quit mixing seasons because you’re throwing guys off and we need all the help we can get.

Isn’t the point of wearing Uggs to keep you warm?  So if you’re wearing shorts, keeping warm is clearly not your main priority.  And ladies, us guys are pretty literal thinkers.  We are already scared enough to come and talk to you.  Then you throw us for a loop by dressing for summer and wearing shoes for snow.  Maybe that’s why boys go up to girls and jumble their words or don’t even go and talk to them.  What are we supposed to say “Wow it’s really cold today..I mean warm…Cold!…Warm!?!”  Ugh, please help us out!

I wanted to figure out if other boys even like Uggs, so I decided to ask a few and here’s what I heard—

“Uggs put the ug in ugly!”— Pat

“They aren’t so bad.”— Joe

“They are over priced, and they just kill a lot of animals. I think they are kind of dumb.”— Mike

“I think they are over worn.”— Daniel

“I don’t know why girls wear them.”— Mark

    I loved reading your post, and especially liked your poll results! I’m not a fan of Uggs in general, but never stopped to think what teen guys thought about the girls wearing them.

    Great Article Jimmy! :)

    Great article, Jimmy! But the only reason I personally like Uggs is that they’re soft, comfortable, and easy to slip on and off. The fakes or “Fugs” are exactly the same, just not officially Uggs. Thats what I have. Can’t wait to work with you in the future!

  6. I enjoyed hearing your view of Uggs Boots. I personally wanted to get a pair b/c my Australian in laws swear by them for ultimate comfort/warmth. I am searching for a pair for only that reason! Keep up the great writing Jimmy!

    I totally understand your point, Jimmy. In general, I think that sometimes girls wear clothes that are completely unnecessary, like Uggs in the spring and summer. They might be fashionable, but honestly — save it for winter! Keep up the awesome work, Jimmy!

    Yes! Finally someone has introduced the point the point that wearing uggs and shorts are not cool. Pick a season!

    I couldn’t agree more. I don’t like uggs. To me, they portray a valley girl wannabe look. Hard to explain.
