Ditch the coat, but keep the shoes! We've partnered with UGG to show you how to bring a classic cold-weather texture into Spring.
We're all about a good shoe trend to kick off Spring. Yes, PVC straps and dad sneakers were spotted all over the runways, but there's another trend that's been quietly taking over the streets: fluffy sandals. Before you write off furry footwear along with the thick coats and warm sweaters you're packing away in anticipation of warm temps, you may want to consider the fact that these shoes are actually the perfect transitional staples. Think about it: the soft, cozy texture combined with the breezy, open-toe silhouette makes complete sense for in-between weather. Ahead, we've rounded up street-style-approved ways to rock the unexpected trend, along with everything you need to make it your own.
Bring the Fun in Lavender Shearling Slides
For a playful, statement-making effect, there's nothing subtle about a pair of plush shearling slides ($130) in the season's most popular color. Keep the outfit tonal and combine the lavender shoes with a pleated skirt ($76) in a similar color family, anchored by a simple white button-down shirt ($80) and classic denim jacket ($443).
Go Femme in Fluffy Shearling Sandals
Between the creamy hue, the slight platform silhouette, and the exaggerated fluffy strap, these shearling sandals ($160) bring the feminine drama. Play up their soft nature and wear the shoes with romantic, ladylike pieces like a white eyelet dress ($299), a structured pink bag ($380), and pink-tinted sunglasses ($265).
Try Cool-Girl Edge in Black Pom Sandals
Give your pom sandals ($130) an edgy upgrade with overly fluffy wool fringe in all black. Matched with a sheer black blouse ($45), casual straight-leg jeans ($228), and geometric sunglasses ($195), this outfit feels equal parts cool and comfortable.
