Cute Outfits to Wear With Uggs, Styled by Rachel Zoe

In the great shoe landscape, Uggs have a somewhat complicated history. They're blissfully comfortable, but often regarded as kick-around options most appropriate for lounging at home which is, you know, kind of a bummer when you remember how deliciously comfortable they are to wear. We got a chance to sit down with Rachel Zoe earlier this season and listen to her outfit-making tips for making the cozy boots chic.

"When I first fell in love with a pair of Uggs it was on a classic California girl who grew up in Malibu," she told us. "That was 20 years ago, and she had on cutoffs, a turtleneck, and no makeup." In the ensuing years the stylist has nursed a serious relationship with the brand, both in collecting a serious stash at home for her and Rodger, but also professionally (she styled the brand's latest look book).

"It's really more about your outfit, not the shoes. Keep it to classic pieces we all have," she instructed, bending down to fuss with a model's pant leg. Zoe might be a world-famous stylist with a media empire, but she's not above getting close to the floor to work.
