[title]The mornings are well and truly getting colder and darker, and nothing beats rugging up by slipping on some fuzzy-lined booties. And while, yes, there might be some more sleek options to don on your morning commute, sometimes opting for comfort over style is the way to go.
According to a new study commissioned by Ugg Express, slightly more than 80 per cent of Aussies think that it’s socially acceptable to wear Uggs outside the house. If you find yourself in the minority that thinks it's simply unacceptable, now may be time to bury your kitten heels and loafers at the back of the closet…
This June 1, Wear Your Uggs Day is back to encourage Aussies to support mental health organisation Beyond Blue. Step out for the day in your Uggs to show solidarity with a good cause, or if you’ve had your eye on a new pair, now is the time to snap them up. If you buy anything from the Wear Your Uggs Day Collection leading up to June 1, a portion of your purchase will be donated to help Beyond Blue provide free 24/7 counselling.
“Something as simple as pulling on your Uggs can be a moment to check in with yourself and also send an important message of hope to others,” said Dr Luke Martin, Clinical Spokesperson for Beyond Blue.
What else did Ugg Express uncover in its study? The younger generations are super on board with the small self-care ritual – one in 10 millennials wear Uggs out, while around one in four Gen Z are wearing them to the shops and while running errands.
