If there’s one thing that can bridge a gap faster than a shared love of espresso martinis, it’s a polarizing footwear choice. I’m calling it: Ugg boots have reached peak It-shoe status. But before you break out your vintage black leggings, take note of how we’re styling this trend for 2026. The key? Oversize, which is why the current uniform for both Gen Zers and millennials centers on wide-leg jeans.
Recently, Iris Apatow was spotted in NYC’s West Village wearing a casual look that perfectly captures the essence of the 2026 Ugg resurgence. She’s just one of many style stars stepping out in the shearling-lined style. By pairing her classic tan boots with relaxed wide-leg denim, she proved that volume is the secret to making Uggs look intentional rather than a default option.
Layered under a billowy forest-green coat and topped with a brown knit beanie, the simple weekend outfit is a template worth replicating. It’s effortless, slightly slouchy, and exactly what every cool girl is wearing to grab a coffee en route to the dog park. If you’re still clinging to your ankle jeans, consider this your sign to lean into the puddle-hem life—with Uggs, obviously.
