When I was growing up Down Under, Uggs were an essential part of  my closet.  The only thing is, Uggs were worn as slippers – to keep your feet toasty and warm inside the house, and most definitely not worn on the street!  Here we are 25+ years later, and I see Ugg’s as an essential part of street fashion for big and mini hipsters alike!

For example, check out little Harlow here in Manhattan earlier this winter:

UGG Australia is now owned by Deckers Outdoor Corporation, and very much a part of American culture as they are Australian.  And I’m very impressed with how stylish they’ve become.  My childhood Uggs only came in one style – and that was straight off the sheeps back (or Classic as they now call it):

While the Classic is still…classic, there are so many great styles that will keep your little hipster’s feet warm while still looking great.  My favorites:

For the boys – the Blue Camo Classic:

For the girls- the Classic Flower:

Or something lighter for summer, the LoPro Denim:

And to keep your miniest of minihipsters feet warm and cozy, the Infant Ugg:
