Are You Ready For the Return of Tall Ugg Boots?

Back in January, the It girls couldn’t get enough of mini Uggs. Irina Shayk, Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, and more hit the streets in the Classic Ultra Mini, which hits at the ankle versus the brand’s classic mid-calf silhouette. They proved to be a sleeker and more discreet take on the classic tall boots, which you may remember being worn by stars like Paris Hilton in the early 2000s. 

But that was early 2021. Now, it seems we’re heading back towards the full-blown Uggs. At least, Gigi Hadid is. Yesterday in New York City, the model stepped out wearing Ugg’s Classic II shearling-lined tall boot, which retails for $200 and currently comes chestnut, black, and gray suede. Instead of pairing it with Juicy Couture sweats like, say, Lindsay Lohan may have done in the aughts, Hadid styled it with a cream, non Juicy sweatsuit, fleece vest, mini top-handle bag, and dad cap. Similar, but certainly more modern. 

So, are you ready for the official return of tall Uggs like Hadid is? As spring warms up, it seems unlikely they’ll make a full-blown comeback. But for the quick bodega or coffee run, there’s nothing better than the shoes which feel like pillows for your feet. And now they’re supermodel-approved, too.
