    Hi all,,

    Does anyone here wear Uggs to work???

    I started a job not long ago, and with my first wage I decided to treat myself to a pair of Ugg Boots ...Wore them today to work to be told that were not allowed to wear them:mad::mad::mad:
    Im ther 5 out of 7 days I love my Uggs (so comfy),,,we dont work in a customer facing environment but have to dress smart..fair enough but i was wearing them with leggings and I did look smart..:D:D

    The only other thing were not allowed to wear are jeans/trackies..

    So why not Uggs what are your views????

    :p:p
    Since Uggs started in OZ as slippers you may as well wear slippers to work as they look that smart, not!

    Thank your lucky stars you can't wear Uggs all day and every day at work, if you did you'd get foot rot :eek:

    Are you actually being serious OP?!
    There are many things in life that will catch your eye, only a few will catch your heart. Pursue those.

    I've worn fake uggs to work before during winter, but my office was pretty much anything goes as long as a) you were dressed decently and b) you were dressed smartly if you were seeing clients.

    i hate these, they always look terrible, dreadfully scruffy after a few wears, especially the softer woolly types

    I saw the title of this thread and thought it was going to be complaining about colleagues wearing Uggs to work and how inappropriate it is! But then I read the post and I am somewhat shocked!
