How to Make UGG Boots Look Cool in 2023

Monochrome outfits are a fabulously easy way to look incredibly posh with minimal effort. And in the case of UGG booties, a single-color ‘fit can help elevate the casual footwear, especially if you opt for classically elegant silhouettes. Think long wool coats, straight or wide-leg trousers, tailored button-up blouses, etc. “A monochromatic look exudes luxury and elegance, even when styled with a traditionally casual boot silhouette,” says Gallagher. “The head-to-toe color is flattering and elongating, whether you choose all gray, black, navy or ivory.”

Despite the protests of Gen Z, skinny jeans are still a staple in many of our wardrobes. However, the combination of UGG boots and skinny jeans is one best left in the past for now. “Whether your denim is cropped or puddles on top of your boot, wide-leg stylesover top of your UGGs is the way to go,” advises Gallagher. We would add that clean washes with no distressing (save maybe a raw hem) are also better than acid wash or holey knees for ensuring you look chic and put together.

“Traditional sweatpants or matching sweatsuits paired with UGGs still reign as a casual fit for every day,” Gallagher tells us. “Adding an oversize, structured coat and handle bag elevate this outfit from sloppy to fabulous.” You can also swap your gray, cotton sweatshirt for a simple cashmere pullover for a bonus dose of luxury.

“Suede UGGs are a natural complement to soft sweater dresses, whether you prefer maxi or mini lengths,” says Gallagher. “The addition of a leather jacket and jumbo scarf take this look to another level in term of layering textures and proportions. And don’t forget the tights!”

Leggings and UGGs—two of the comfiest wardrobe staples—are still a great weekend-ready pairing, so long as you finish the look with the right 2023-approved pieces. “Styling neutral colored fitness wear with a double-breasted topcoat, scrunch socks and stylish accessories keep this pre-/post-workout look feeling fresh and sharp,” says Gallagher. So go ahead and swap that belt bag for a leather crossbody and your puffer for a long, wool coat instead.
