Thanks to celebrities and stay-at-home orders, the comfortable and controversial boot is back.

<p>Who would have thought that Uggs would fully come back into fashion in 2021? Perhaps the shoe&#39;s return stemmed from the collective desire to for both comfort and nostalgia, exemplified in the loungewear sets and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/britney-spears-y2k-fashion-juicy-tracksuit">early 2000s-inspired&nbsp;styles</a> that were ubiquitous in 2020. We couldn&#39;t help but notice the sheepskin boot also make its way back onto our Instagram feeds, being worn by models-off-duty and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/main-character-fashion-celebrities-naomi-campbell-mariah-carey">fashion insiders</a>.</p>

<p>Since their&nbsp;introduction in the 1970s, Uggs were usually worn for practicality over style. Originally created for Australian surfers to keep their feet warm post-surf, worldwide brand recognition began to form during the 1994 Winter Olympics&nbsp;after many members of the U.S. team wore the shoes. That same year, <a href="https://www.inc.com/video/brian-smith/how-ugg-became-a-sensation-thanks-to-a-single-lucky-pitch.html">Pamela Anderson was published</a> wearing Uggs with&nbsp;her famous red swimsuit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Not long after, celebrities started wearing&nbsp;the sheepskin boots, pairing them&nbsp;with everything from Juicy Couture tracksuits at&nbsp;the airport to&nbsp;strapless dresses on the red carpet. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/actress-sienna-miller-taboids-dating-jude-law">Paparazzi photos</a> showed everyone from&nbsp;Paris Hilton to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/young-kate-moss-style-90s-to-today">Kate Moss</a> wearing Uggs, and the boot quickly became a status symbol of young Hollywood and the teens that imitated them. Now, the brand is making a comeback among the fashion set, even if it&#39;s just out of necessity.</p>
