Trends & what you need to know about UGG

The big trend of the moment? UGG in a surprising number of versions and colours, so you no longer have to think only of the classic 'Chestnut'! The Classic Ultra Mini fits right into the streetscape thanks to its low shaft, while the Classic Short remains the favourite for anyone who likes plenty of warmth around the ankles.

Alongside neutral tones, we're seeing more and more pastel colours come back next season. Especially beige, sand and even soft pink versions are widely chosen. What you don't see on the inside, but definitely feel, is the authentic sheepskin lining. It ensures a constant temperature and ultimate comfort – a plus for anyone with quickly cold feet. For extra grip, the lightweight EVA sole is ideal, especially if you wear your UGGs outdoors a lot.

An extra advantage of these materials is that they're surprisingly easy to clean (a soft brush is often enough) and stay looking good for a long time. That's especially handy if you go for a light colour!

Classic ultra mini

The UGG Classic Ultra Mini is without a doubt the model of the moment. Thanks to its low shaft you can easily wear this shoe under cropped jeans or leggings. The suede on the outside has that typical soft touch, while the 100% sheepskin lining keeps your feet comfortably warm at all times. The EVA sole is light and offers enough cushioning to walk on all day. This UGG pairs perfectly with casual outfits, but also steals the show under a midi dress for an exciting contrast.

Classic short

The UGG Classic Short is perhaps the most iconic UGG model. With its higher shaft it protects your ankles extra well against the cold. The combination of sturdy suede, warm shearling and great grip makes it perfect for rainy autumn days (although at Winkelstraat we prefer to keep them dry for a longer lifespan). Extra plus: thanks to its timeless design, this UGG is easy to style – from jeans to wide trousers.

Frequently asked questions

Q1: How do I best care for my UGG boots?

A: Always use a special suede brush and waterproofing spray before first use to repel stains and water. Clean stains with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, and let your UGGs air dry – never on the radiator!

Q2: Are UGGs suitable for rainy weather?

A: Although EVA soles provide grip, suede remains sensitive to moisture. At Winkelstraat we recommend wearing UGG boots mainly on dry days, but if you've used a water-repellent spray, they can withstand a light shower.

Q3: Which UGG colour should I choose?

A: Choose classic Chestnut if you want easy combining; sand or pastel colours are fun if you want to stand out. In our experience, light tones are popular for modern, minimalist looks.
