For decades, Ugg boots have been worn by both men and women, but in recent years Uggs for men have become a somewhat controversial topic. As Uggs regained popularity in 2003, very fashionable men picked up on the trend just as much as women, and now it is beginning to be seen as more acceptable for all men to wear Uggs too.
At the beginning of the century, Uggs were worn simply out of necessity rather than for style - Airmen in World War I would wear uggs in their aircraft to keep as warm as possible in the cold conditions. And of course, Uggs were originally worn by Australian sheep herders. Uggs are ideally designed for cold weather as the sheepskin possesses great insulating properties. It was in the 70s that Uggs gained popularity for style reasons rather than functional reasons. They gained huge popularity among surfers in both Australia and America, and in the following years their popularity has spread around the world.
Nowadays men have a vast amount of Ugg styles designed just for men to choose from, not just the classic Ugg boot. Many newer Uggs feature leather, however sheepskin is still a constant feature of ugg boots, whether in the traditional way as inner and outer, or just as a comfortable lining. There are also a wider range of colours available for the classic boot.
Women and children, too, have a much wider range of styles to choose from.
As winter sets in, naturally people are searching for the best solution to keep warm, while still looking stylish. Uggs fit the requirements perfectly. Choosing which stzle to go for can be difficult as there is so much choice, but there are a number of sites that can help in the decision process.
