WITH autumn fast approaching, many fashion fans are pulling their UGGs out of their wardrobes.
And while the Australian brand’s sheepskin boots and Tasman slippers are more popular than ever, they have divided opinion with their latest offering.
Influencer Perrie Sian took to TikTok for her opinion on the New Heights Platform Mini Boot, admitting that she was “very excited” when she received an email from UGG informing her of something new.
But when she opened it, she almost “fell” out of her imaginary chair.
“What the hell are these £200 Karen Stompers?” she raged.
“Excuse me? Excuse me.
“What the hell are these?”
According to the UGG website, the boot, which comes in three colors, “is unlike anything you’ve ever worn before.”
“A boot with a bold platform and layered sole, you’ll be shocked by how stable you feel as you climb new heights,” they continued.
But Perrie insisted the boots “look like a horse”, before asking: “Is it an April Fool?” and labeling it a “step too far”.
“Maybe UGG is running out of ideas, so now they’re just deciding to turn any type of shoe into a UGG,” she mused.
“What will be the next step? A UGG stiletto heel?
“I actually don’t feel physically well!”
“For £200? I’m sorry, has UGG lost its mind?” Perrie captioned the video.
People were quick to comment on the clip, with one writing: “I love Ugg so much but even I can’t wear this!”
“This must be a joke!” another insisted.
“I received the same email and I was surprised!!! Horrible,” commented a third.
“No, I actually choked!” someone said.
“I was waiting to see what the new Uggs would be this year, nahhhh, I won’t be in a rush to buy them!” another wrote.
However, others agreed more with the new product, which has a 4.5-inch heel and a 3.2-inch platform.
“Giving Spice Girl!” one wrote.
All the Silly ’90s Outfits Gen Z Thinks Are In Fashion
“Millennials survived Robbie Williams leaving Take That, the Y2K bug”. . . and low waist.
Despite preying on millennials every chance they get, Gen Z is now busy scouring thrift stores and pop culture archives trying to bring back the most disastrous trends.
Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the ’90s fashion trends she thinks are “bullshit” but Gen Z thinks are “cool.”
“They told us skinny jeans weren’t cool, and while I agree with them, it’s hard to take fashion advice from someone who wears a skirt over jeans and a leotard that Andi Peters would have worn on children’s TV.
Pedal pushers
I was surprised when I saw Topshop pedal pushers stocked at Asos. They were the trend of the less elegant era of fashion – late nineties, early nineties. And now they’re back to Emily Ratajkowski and Alexa Chung, and being sold on the streets.
Fleece Fuddy
The silliest of all the ’90s fashions considered acceptable now has to be fleece — you probably had a knock-off Berghaus back then.
In October, shoppers went wild for F&F in Tesco’s North Face dupe, which cost £37 (£283 less than the original £320) and got seven million TikTok views.
Cutter Jacket
The lightly padded waterproof jacket is a hit among celebrities of the moment.
From what I can see, this coat is inspired by one of TV’s most unlikely fashion muses, Coronation Street character Roy Cropper, who has been wearing it on the cobblestones for 30 years.
But brands like Prada and Bottega apparently took inspiration from Roy’s beige jacket.”
“I’m kind of loving them!
“I hated platform UGGs until I saw Bella Hadid in them – I’m a sheep.”
“I like them!” another agreed.
“Sorry, why do I really like them?” a third asked.
“I bet you will use this and love it. I’m calling,” joked another person.
