Ugg boots destroy cold weather fashion
The chill of winter weather has made its presence known to the University’s campus and many a student has obtained some sort of sickness. But one winter problem that plagues the college campus is not biological at all. It is material in nature and a visual nuisance in need of extermination: the Ugg boots.This sickness begins when the Georgia temperature starts flirting with the 50s. And at the turn of the millennium, someone, the Antichrist perhaps, decided to bring the Ugg boot to Hollywood. From there, madness spread. I’m more perplexed by the “fashion” status of the Ugg boot than I am Scientology. Honestly. A few years back, the disease hit Georgia and spread more fiercely than kudzu. These horrible boot/suede/fur fusion footings have become a mainstay, it seems, on the University campus. But I ask you today to quarantine the afflicted parties and cleanse the campus of these God-forsaken shoes.Originally invented to warm the feet and calves of the Australian surfer, the Uggboots is composed of a soft sheepskin suede outer and a shearling lining. Its roominess and lightweight design are very popular comfort features. And I understand how nice a lightweight and warm shoe must be for winter weather. But God, they are so ugly. Find something else. Please!Ladies, I know they may be comfortable, but you must stop. As soothing as they must be to the soles, they are far more unattractive. If you just don’t care how you look or you’re not trying to attract the opposite sex, then wear them out. But Valentine’s Day is coming up, and if you aim to have someone to share it with, I would donate or burn whatever Uggs you have. I have yet to meet a fellow male who has even thought about saying, “Ya know, I kinda like ‘em.” It just won’t happen. More power to the Australians for their sheepskin ingenuity, but leave it for the Aussies and the swimmers, and only them.I admit, I’ve seen a few outfits that incorporate Uggs and actually work. But in my time here, I can count those instances on one hand. What’s more, you girls can’t arrange a decent outfit to go to class in! Sweatpants, leggings, or the bare leg are not appropriate parings for your Ugg-ly outfit. And the Uggs and exercise shorts ensemble? Honestly? Do you own a mirror? Is it full length? And for those of you who reach for your Uggs when it’s 75 out, I have no advice for you because you’re simply too far gone.Now, technically, the Ugg is a unisex shoe. So to you ladies and you few brave gentlemen, please wear your horrid shoes with caution. Or better yet, don’t wear them at all. I need to love life and find confidence in my generation. You girls are making me doubt our future as a society. So, please, keep the campus out of attire agony and opt for a better boot.
