Ahh Uggs - possibly one of the worst things to happen ever. OK they may be comfortable but no guy finds them even remotely attractive. They smack of lack of effort and laziness.

Nehpets · 21-12-2007 03:29AM

Down with this sort of thing!

Jeebus · 21-12-2007 03:43AM

Was waiting for another thread like this to come round. They seem to have had another surge in popularity.

Uggs look awful, all men will agree with this. They are always worn by women with jeans and an Abercrombie & Fitch hoodie. I saw three girls in Shannon airport walk by each other in literally the EXACT same outfit a week or two ago, the exact same right down to a tee.

It smacks of complete lack of confidence too, as if your fashion has to completely conform to whats 'in' at the moment. And don't give me that "they're comfy/warm" crack either - get yourself a pair of those fluffy slippers shaped like gorillas feet - they'll look better and all.

Such a vast amount of women dress the same these days that its prompted many discussions of this very subject between myself and my friends lately - all of which have ended with a split of opinion in the group : whether we should burn all of these people who dress the same on a steak, or pity them.

i think there ok actually, (and im a fella).,
see blokes get shoes specifically because there warm and comfy, why shouldnt the girls do the same?
what does get on my nerves is those studenty lookin ones that wear manky addidas/reebok runners with the Oneils navy tracksuit bottoms that are too long and scraping off the ground with all frayed bits on the end oh and usually a hoodie, even in the rain they wear these bottoms.,
anyone else know the type im on about.,lol., you'll see loads of them in town.,

dSTAR · 21-12-2007 06:35AM

Ahhh a good Aussie icon.

I do actually think they can look good on a really hot chick with a nice tanned pair of legs. I have seen lots of cute lil vixens pull them off real well but on some outer suburban trashbag they just look cheap particularly wearing those trackie dacks with writing on the ass .. no thanks. Apparently Pamela Anderson was spotted wearing them a while ago ..

of course he said that, he's no fool. one of the first lessons we learn about women. "how do i look? you look lovely darling". what you probably didn't hear is when he muttered: "just don't wear them in public okay?"

as for him trying them on, it says a lot about him really: 1) he likes you very much, 2) he has small feet 3)well we know what small feet mean

phasers · 21-12-2007 11:29AM

I wear them under jeans for warmth and comfort
€8 in Penneys, all you can see is a bit of black under my jeans

they're really ugly and I'm embarassed by them
and if you wear them over jeans or with skirts they make your legs look fat

True. I wear mine only when I couldn't be arsed tying laces and I know I wont be getting out of the car, like last night when I collected my sister from work. (Great driving shoes, and great for making sure your pyjamas pants stay dry! Again, this is only when I wont be seen in public!) I don't have a problem if people want to wear them, I just don't really like them on me. My boyfriend has alway hated them, always called them my ugly boots, and I know few guys who find them attractive. That said, some girls can wear them and look great. It's just the other 99% who look awful! (Like me!)

We do.. but IMO they don't need to be as hideous as Uggs to do the job .. I have(lower) thigh/knee length (depending on whether you turn down the cuff) soft-as-butter caramel leather boots .. they are very warm and comfy (heel is high-ish but wide) plus they make my legs look both slimmer than they really are and about 4 miles long.. the only thing they have in common with Uggs is they are a similar(ish) colour..

I love them so much I bought a pair in black too!

fortunately, some girls look hot whatever they wear. as mentioned though, she'd look better without them. Also, that's a photo trick, the leg is bent and the ugg is tucked under the leg, so it doesn't look like she has elephant stumps for legs as she would do if she were standing. on the other hand, if she were standing we wouldn't be looking at her shoes:D

but unfortunately most of the horrors wearing ugg boots look nothing like her.

Kur4mA · 21-12-2007 12:05PM

I find it even stranger that anyone would let someones else's footwear bother them enough to go on about it this much.

No we still don't like Uggs. As mentioned she'd look far hotter in other footwear.

UGGs are ok looking though much prefer the knee height leather boots

how many chics would you encounter on a daily basis with legs that long? very feckin' few. don't delude yourself that just because one person with Peter Crouch disorder can pull them off everyone can.

but the same problem can exists with boots as with uggs (although not as bad) but they can still make your legs look frickn' massive! they are worst over jeans.

Yeah just thought of that now you said that but mine are very roomy,

He is a size 11 and that myth does really apply to him (yay for me) but I really have found that big feet does not always mean big socks

Actually with the right outfit and 'look' from the lady they'd be kinda hot. Much more so than Uggs.

As for being the ugliest things around, some of you are probably too young to remember legwarmers or cullottes!! Hopefully they never come back.

Culottes! Aaarrrggghhhhh!!!! When I was 12 my mother got a pair, and myself and my brother told her they were horrible. We learned a lesson about women that day, after seeing the sulk we sent her into, but she learned a lesson too: culottes stink. But wait and see... they'll come back one day!

UGGs look great on a really sexy girl, but then again, as long as a girl is sexy enough, she can wear literally anything, even a bin liner, and she'll look good*.

* Except culottes.
