Whilst winter isn't my favourite season (I much prefer the heat), it's not completely without its pleasures, and let's face it, I wouldn't be a fashion editor if I didn't find winter style a little bit exciting.
Finally free to embrace the cosier side of getting dressed, winter offers the perfect opportunity to bundle yourself up from head to toe and live out the chilly days in toasty contentment. When it comes to assembling a winter outfit that's up to the task, there are few essential items you can't ignore. I'll always sing the praises of a good cashmere layer, but it's actually footwear that I believe is the most important aspect of any cold-weather look to get right.
Unparalleled in comfort and warmth, UGGs are the specific shoe style that I come back to every winter, even if I do struggle to make them look chic. I'm sure many of us will relate to the pure pleasure that is slipping your foot into an UGG boot, but admittedly, they aren't the easiest to style. So, in need of some fresh styling inspiration, I went on the hunt for sleek outfits featuring UGGs from some of my favourite celebrities.
Whether choosing them for casual looks, airport 'fits or when running errands, the celebrity style set knows a thing or two about making UGGs look good. From Jennifer Lopez's jeans look to Selena Gomez's matching camel hues, scroll on to discover the five celebrity UGG outfits I'll be shamelessly copying this winter.
5 UGG OUTFITS I'M STEALING FROM CELEBRITIES
1. ELSA HOSK'S UGGS, WHITE JEANS AND BLAZER
Style Notes: Somehow, model Elsa Hosk has managed to make causal UGGs look like the chicest shoe out there. Proving that it's all in the styling, the model substituted classic track pants or leggings and instead paired her look with elegant cream jeans and a boxy longline blazer for a chic outfit I'd like to call my own.

2. JENNIFER LOPEZ'S UGGS, JEANS AND ROLL NECK
Style Notes: I often spot J.Lo out and about in a pair of UGGs. Choosing to wear her platforms with voluminous wide-leg jeans, the singer concealed most of the fluffy boots, letting them inconspicuously add inches of height whilst keeping her feet cosy and comfortable. Her top-handle bag adds an elegant touch.
