I’m A Fashion Editor & These Are The Surprisingly Stylish Uggs I’m Buying Myself This Winter

Plus, thanks to some key off-duty model looks (from brand ambassadors Emily Ratajkowski, Joan Smalls, Irina Shayk and Jasmine Tookes) I am more confident than ever that I can make them look well-styled. Yes, I am an influencer being influenced by influencers!

So, the style that I am craving more than any other is the Classic Short Mini II. For me, it will be a tri-season shoe. I'll wear them now in the frosty temps, but also in the transitional fall and spring seasons. They seem dantier than the mid-calf Uggs--and they are the ones that Ratajkowski, Smalls, Shayk and Tookes all wore.

The close second for me is this Classic Weather Hiker. A beauty editor friend of mine at another publication recently admitted that she ordered the boots in hush with a friend in the Hamptons. "We both looked at each other like--I've NEVER ordered Uggs before. It's our little secret," she admitted to me. I think she chose a pretty good first pair--they don't look like your typical Uggs, so her secret may be totally safe.

The third pair I'm eyeing (mostly because I saw them on a friend) are the very warm Sunburst Tall. The style has a sturdy sold, and an outside shearling detail that proudly yells to the world "I'm Uggs!"--and in the chicest way possible.
