Winter style made effortless Kendall Jenner’s cozy-chic look featuring the iconic mini Uggs in Aspen has sparked a resurgence in winter footwear fashion.

Upon arriving in the Midwest for the holidays, I quickly realized that the shoes I packed were ill-suited for the cold weather. Having been accustomed to Los Angeles, my definition of winter-ready footwear had become skewed. Ballet flats and leather sneakers, my go-tos in LA, were far from ideal choices for snowy conditions. However, there’s one shoe essential for my visit back home that’s gained massive popularity, even being flaunted by California-girl Kendall Jenner.

During her recent outing in Aspen, Jenner sported a casual-chic winter ensemble that left a lasting impression. Her black cargo pants exuded simplicity yet elegance, perfectly complemented by the Khaite sweater. The sweater’s Fair Isle design and oversized sleeves captured the essence of winter fashion without appearing overdone. To complete her look, she opted for the beloved mini Uggs—a viral footwear choice adored by celebrities like Kaia Gerber and Jennifer Lawrence. Jenner showcased these boots again the next day, pairing them with an all-white ensemble, solidifying their versatility.

Ugg has experienced a significant resurgence in recent years, particularly with the mini version taking center stage. Unlike its taller counterpart dominating the early 2000s, the mini boot offers a chunky yet versatile style that pairs well with various pant options—a reason why it’s a go-to choice during winter. It effortlessly complements everything from oversized jeans to cozy leggings.

The Classic Ultra Mini boot, available on Amazon in 28 colors (note: sizes may vary by color), includes classic shades like gray and brown, as well as more daring hues like hot pink and highlighter yellow for those seeking a vibrant touch. Crafted from premium materials such as wool, suede, and sheepskin, these boots offer a luxurious feel with a plush lining that shoppers rave about, describing it as a “dream on their feet.”
