I Never Imagined These UGGs Could Look This Fashionable, but Tate McRae Proved Me Wrong—Shop the Boots Here

Shoe styles come and go, but UGGs are forever. They’ve stood the test of time through some brutal trend cycles and somehow remained a closet staple through it all. Now, that’s not to say every style has been a winner. Some designs have had their moment in the spotlight, while others... well, let's just say I wouldn't be mad if they stayed in the past. But I really thought the tall boots were stuck in my 2010s high school days (let alone the ribbon ones). And then Tate McRae posted an Instagram picture wearing them, proving me wrong real quick because why did I immediately run to add them to my cart? In the big 2026! Her power!!In the pop star’s most recent photo dump, one of the outfits made me do a double-take. She’s wearing a cropped tee, micro athleisure shorts, angel wings (which I’m going to assume are leftovers from her Victoria’s Secret rehearsal days), and, of course, the iconic UGG boots—a footwear choice I definitely wasn’t expecting!Tate McRae/InstagramPersonally, I still get the shivers thinking about how I used to style these. Skinny jeans and a random sweatshirt were pretty much my go-to combination. But after seeing how Tate styles them—even if her approach leans more laid-back—I'm starting to see them in a whole new light. It really comes down to proportions. I love that she gave them a sporty, '90s-inspired vibe by pairing them with micro shorts to show off their length. But now that we're heading into the chillier season, I think they'd be just as fun styled with baggy jeans or pants tucked in, leggings, a silk midi or bubble mini skirt, or even a sweater dress to lean into that cozy aesthetic.The fur trim along the top and back of the boot, paired with the chocolate brown ribbons, adds such a whimsical touch to the classic boot. If you're into the coquette aesthetic, these are definitely for you. But Tate also proves that you can take them in a completely different direction and give them a cool, street-style edge. And perhaps the best part? They'll actually keep you warm through the colder months ahead. Catch me wearing these all the way through March!These aren’t the only UGGs I’m eyeing, though!
