No matter how much you love the warmer months, the temperature allowing you to wrap up in a cozy sweater and swap out your sandals for loafers and Uggs is a welcome change. And that change is officially here. Fall 2023 trends have arrived in New Ulm High School.
Ugg boots have been around for a long time and used to be very popular. Now, the brand is the new obsession at New Ulm High School. Uggs have become one of the latest trends because they embrace comfort and they have many different styles and colors to wear. “I have two pears of Uggs, and I love them. They keep my feet warm and cozy, and they also match almost every outfit,” junior Ambriel Roberts said.
The Ugg brand was created in 1978 when Brian Smith moved to California with a dream, of designing a product with his favorite material, sheepskin. After that, Ugg became a symbol of California beach culture, and then the brand expanded after that. Now there are 20 different kinds of styles and many different colors of Uggs.
