UGG boots and accessories have been popular since they have hit the market. But why has this well known name became so fashionable? Why has this brand of Australian boots become one of the most "get your hands on them" stylish accessories of all time? What makes girls and women want to buy them?

It is not just the title that catches the female’s eye. Obviously a girl or woman would not buy $100-$250 pair of boots. Or would they? Most of the girls that I have interviewed purchased these boots because of these four reasons; 1.) They are very comfortable and warm, 2.) They are fashionable, 3.) They are a name, and 4.) they are "so" cute.

Girls buy these pair of gold mined boots not just because of the name, but the quality that comes with it. For example; it’s very chilly outside and you can’t wear those Hollister or Abercrombie and Fitch flip-flops or those uncomfortable flats. Also the Converses do not match the outfit. You want to wear those trendy yet easy to put on UGG boots that are praying to be released out of your closet. But UGG boots are not only used for the winter and frost bite weather anymore. They are used for almost any outfit in a girl’s closet. They can be worn with any type of cloth or jean skirt, sweatpants, or anything else desired.

UGG boots have been compared to be popular just like for example Hollister or Abercrombie flip-flops, Burberry perfume, Dooney & Bourke bags, American Eagle jeans, Guess shoes, etc.
Bottom line, this is among any accessory that all girls must have.
