The UGG Classic Mini II Boots Have Officially Taken Over My Wardrobe


I remember my high school's UGG craze vividly. Back then, UGG boots were the ultimate fashion statement, often paired with Victoria's Secret fold-over yoga pants and extra-long T-shirts. At the time, I stayed away from the look, either because I was attempting to appear unfazed by such a massive trend or because my parents balked at the high price tag of the hot-ticket items. But flash to the present, and UGG boots have caught my eye once again. Just recently, I scooped up the UGG Classic Mini II Boots ($105-$160, originally $160) in the light-brown color called Chestnut, and now I understand the hype. Ahead, I break down everything you need to know about them before deciding if you want to add them to your virtual shopping cart.

What I Like About the UGG Classic Mini II Boots

I was well aware of UGG's reputation for comfort before trying the brand's bestselling Classic Mini II Boots for myself, but experiencing them firsthand is something else entirely. As cliché as it sounds, wearing these boots genuinely feels like walking on clouds. They boast a thick sheepskin lining that strikes the perfect balance between warmth and comfort without making my feet sweaty. Although I wear them as everyday footwear, they outshine even my coziest slippers when it comes to comfort.

Another thing I like about them is their height. One challenge I've faced with tall winter boots is the awkward bulkiness that's inevitably visible when styled with long pants. That's not an issue with these boots, though, because they're only five inches tall, landing comfortably at my ankles. I love wearing them with jeans, sweatpants, and even activewear leggings. My countless Pinterest scrolls have inspired me to style them with tall white socks peeking out of the top for a modern look, but they also work over flared leggings for a laid-back vibe.

What's Worth Noting About the UGG Classic Mini II Boots

My sole critique of the UGG Classic Mini II Boots is that their shorter height narrows the space for slipping your foot inside, so they're a little more difficult to put on. However, I've found that sitting down and guiding my foot into the boot while pulling upwards on the back heel tab makes them pretty easy to put on. While this hasn't diminished how much I love them, it's an important detail to highlight, especially for people facing mobility challenges. I'm not the only person who's noted this, either. While the vast majority of reviews are overwhelmingly positive, many who gave them a lower rating highlighted this detail.


Who Are the UGG Classic Mini II Boots For?

The UGG Classic Mini II Boots are great for anyone who wants to fuse style and comfort. They pair seamlessly with jeans, sweatpants, and leggings and also work as house slippers for those who prefer boots with traction over traditional slide slippers.

Where Are the UGG Classic Mini II Boots Available?

The UGG Classic Mini II Boots are available on Amazon, as well as at Nordstrom and direct-to-consumer from the brand's website.

Additional Details About the UGG Classic Mini II Boots

  • They come in 20 (!) different colors.
  • They're available for free two-day shipping with Amazon Prime.
  • They only come in whole sizes. If you're between sizes, the brand recommends ordering a half-size down from your usual size.

Diaper Shorts Are Back - How to Shop the Controversial TikTok Trend

Of all the street style trends to dominate our FYP and social media feeds in recent years, bloomer shorts seems to be the most bizarre (and ironically one of our top favorites) yet. And who do we have to thank for it? TikTok, of course. In a single scroll on the popular app, you've probably come across the piece multiple times, from those viral Miu Miu briefs to Aritzia's more affordable offerings. Slightly more flirty and risqué than the stomach pudge dress or the fisherman aesthetic , bloomer shorts (aka "diaper shorts") have officially made it to the top of the sartorial food chain. What Are Bloomer Shorts? While the idea of bloomer shorts may seem new or daunting at first, they're far from groundbreaking. Similarly to most trends, the good ol' "everything is new again" concept applies here, as the fad dates back to 1850 when the silhouette was invented as a practical solution for women's health and comfort - eventually grabbing the atten...

Does Uniqlo Heattech Really Keep You Warm? An Editor Investigates

I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
