Because Ugg boots just weren’t ugly enough the way they were, apparently.
Now, The Fashion Police are unashamed Ugg apologists. We see them as purely practical footwear, which come in handy for walking the dog in the winter, but which we’d no more wear as “fashion” items than we’d go out in public in our pyjamas.
These, though. These are just bed socks with soles, aren’t they?
These were reported by Rock Hyrax, who reckoned the stripey ones were probably the worst. We’d have to agree with that, but if you disagree, and want to buy yourself some, you’ll find some more information here.

Ah, the eternal battle of good vs evil, fought out through the medium of leggings! So simple, and yet so effective: good versus evil, black versus white, your right leg versus your left leg… Don’t you just love it when fashion gets all deep and meaningful like this?
Of course, if you want to be literal about it, you COULD just call these a pair of sequined leggings with mismatched legs. You could even call them a crime of fashion. If you wanted to be particularly cruel, you could call them the court jester’s dress clothes.
But we prefer to see them as a simple, yet powerful, statement on the human condition. Or something. Oh, and also: “edgy”. Because that’s an excuse for anything these days, isn’t it?

Oh, ASOS, come on! Did you really think that pairing that shress we were complaining about the other day with an even more unspeakably ugly item would distract us from its awfulness? It’s the oldest trick in the book, and it just doesn’t work – although, admittedly, we were rendered temporarily blind by the trousers, so it took us a few seconds longer than it usually would have to recognise the shress lurking beneath them.
In a game of Wear or Die, we’re honestly not sure which of these two items we’d go for, but putting the two of them together in the same outfit? Well, that’s just asking for an arrestin’, isn’t it?

Cheer up love, it might never happen! Oh no, wait: it already has, hasn’t it? You’re dressed like a cheerleader from The Muppets. Our mistake.
We somehow don’t think this look will catch on. Then again, we said that about harem pants, and look how THAT turned out. Just goes to show what WE know, eh? If everyone’s walking around in pom poms next Spring, feel free to remind us of this prediction and laugh…

Had enough of see-through skirts? That’s too bad, because Marc Jacobs hasn’t had enough of making them. Sorry.
