"I have to admit I was hesitant to embrace UGGs when I first discovered them in the early 2000s; I was still in my wearing-heels-every-day era and couldn't fathom rocking an oversize pair of flat boots just for comfort. One day, my best friend who worked at Nordstrom (in our local mall!) convinced me to try them on, and everything changed. They felt like pillows for my feet and I simply couldn't turn that down. Imagine my surprise and delight when I saw people styling them with skirts and dresses, proving fashion and function could live in harmony.
Now, more than 20 years later, I style the UGG Classic Short II ($190) like they're heels with my favorite pleated miniskirt and striped sweater from YanYan, an oversize DKNY fleece jacket, and my treasured Luar bag. As the 2000s style icons — from Beyoncé to Nicole Richie — proved, UGGs can and should be dressed up!" — Jessica Andrews, senior style director
