The genesis of Uggs might be rooted in an ancient time of bedazzled flip phones and velour tracksuits, but the Australian brand’s quality and evolving range (they now carry blankets, sneakers, athleisure and heels) have rendered Ugg’s cozy creations timeless.
Considering how stress-inducing 2020 has been, coupled with all the extra time spent at home, one particular Ugg offering has perhaps never been more helpful in maintaining one’s sanity. We’re talking about Ugg slippers. When it comes to fluffiness and keeping toes warm, Ugg slippers in their myriad forms reign supreme.
If you’ve somehow made it this long on Earth without owning a pair of Ugg slippers, or if you need a failsafe gift for somebody who could use a pick-me-up right now, now’s the best possible time to go it. Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, which officially opened to all cardholders this week and opens to the public on August 19, includes Ugg’s beloved Fluffette slippers in various punchy colors heavily discounted.
Items from Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale are selling out left and right as we speak, so we recommend snapping up the cult-favorite sandals asap. We also recommend wearing them with pajama pants and a regular shirt for your next Zoom meeting to do working from home right.

When Allie Goertz encountered Crocs for the first time as a dorky, Wayne’s World-obsessed 13-year old, she instantly despised their bulbous, stippled silhouette. “I remember thinking, ‘They’re so ugly, never in a million years would I wear Crocs,'» she says. Eighteen years later, the musician and writer was self-quarantining at home in Los Angeles due to COVID-19 and found herself unexpectedly drawn to a vivid turquoise pair.
Goertz characterizes her new Crocs are the quintessential pandemic purchase: an irrational impulse buy she likely never would have considered had the world not turned completely upside down. “They’ve become my quarantine shoes,” she says. After trying them on with a pair of & Other Stories socks, she snapped a pic and tweeted it out with the caption, “We all deal with depression differently #Crocs.”

Once the sole province of nurses, toddlers, and a certain celebrity chef, Crocs have joined the growing pantheon of hideous footwear (see Birkenstocks and Tevas) that has undergone significant image rehabilitation. It can be traced back to 2016, when designer Christopher Kane debuted a marbleized version replete with crystal geode jibbitz at London Fashion Week. He followed them up with diamanté and high top versions. Not long thereafter, Balenciaga created a 10-inch platform version of the brand’s classic clogs for their S/S 2018 show, which retailed for $850. (Currently, Crocs sells a more subdued iteration called the Classic Bae Clog for $54.99.)
In the past year, celebrities have been increasingly paparazzi’d in the shoes. They have become a staple of Justin Bieber‘s now prescient ‘dirtcore’ aesthetic. And last fall, the brand tapped Priyanka Chopra as a 2020 global brand ambassador and star of its ‘Come As You Are’ campaign. Meanwhile, the footwear giant has embarked on successful (and sold-out) collaborations with the likes of Madewell and Liberty London. But despite fashion and fame’s embrace of the chunky, duck-footed look, it took a global pandemic for Crocs to fully cross the Rubicon from a much-reviled symbol of slovenliness to a culturally-relevant accessory.
“I completely lost the plot of what normal outfits are,” says Lauren Mitchell, an account manager from Toronto, Canada. Global fashion search platform Lyst noted that searches for Crocs have been steadily increasing since the second week of March and searches are currently up 71% over the last 3 months. In April and May, the brand doubled their monthly e-commerce sales year over year. “At this very moment, our brand momentum has never been stronger,” says Heidi Cooley, head of global marketing at Crocs.
“These are Crocs times we’re living in now, for sure,” says Kelly McClure, a writer and publicist from New Orleans, who purchased Crocs two weeks into the pandemic to replace a pair of green flip flops she wore around the house. “Had the pandemic never happened, I doubt I would have bought them, because I’d still be out and about, going to bars and shows and shops,” says McClure.

Nanea Woods, founder of Portland’s Prose Before Bros book club, refers to her sleek white Crocs as the “ultimate quarantine house slippahs.” She bought her Crocs a month into the pandemic because she was looking for a versatile, slip-on shoe she could wear both indoors and outdoors. Though she primarily bought the Crocs for their function, Woods adds that the way they look is “a huge plus.” Tat Read, a communications executive from Toronto also purchased Crocs to serve as house slippers, but two days after the banana-printed slides arrived, she decided they were cute enough to wear outside the confines of her home. “They clash with everything and that’s really the look I’m going for,” she says.
Danielle Johnson, a data engineer from Oakland, Calif., has owned Crocs since 2016, but when the pandemic hit, she went Croc wild, acquiring three more pairs. “I have indoor Crocs, outdoor Crocs,” plus an extra pair to replace the ones her partner jacked from her closet. “I actually wore them on a hike by accident because I’m so used to putting them on,” she says.

Of the litany of reasons Crocs are the ultimate pandemic shoe—their squishy comfort and relative affordability—perhaps the most compelling reason is that they’re easy to clean. “If I accidentally wear them outside, I just spray the bottoms with Lysol, put them on the shoe rack and that’s it,” says Johnson. Mitchell, who is described by friends as a ‘Crocfluencer’, prefers a different method of cleaning. “If they get dirty I bring a little dish soap in the shower with me and give the Crocs a little shower.”
“The longer we stay at home and are able to be in ‘non-work clothes,’ the harder it will be for us to get back into our hard pants and high heels,” explains Elizabeth Semmelhack, Senior Curator at the Bata Shoe Museum. She also points out the non-gender specific shape might be what makes them so appealing to the Zoomer demographic. “We’re in a moment of incredible political and cultural change, so it would make sense that a younger generation would want to wear shoes that don’t have that same history of being gendered.”
Though Crocs sudden and surprising burst of popularity didn’t exactly come out of nowhere, it’s difficult to say whether the moment will last. “I don’t know how much I’ll be wearing the Crocs post-quarantine,” says Goertz. “But then again, quarantine might last indefinitely.”

Leah Zelaya has dreamed of being a designer for as long as she can remember. She studies fashion magazines, sketches out ideas for red-carpet looks, and even walked in a NYFW show earlier this year.
Ask about her style icons and she’ll drop some of today’s biggest names: Jennifer Lopez, because she’s «not afraid to wear glitter and shine,» and Taylor Swift, for her sartorial superpower to shape-shift from country cute to vampy goth to cottagecore.
The 13-year-old is closely attuned to the ebb and flow of the industry’s biggest trends—so she also knows there’s still a long way to go when it comes to creating clothing for bodies like hers.
Leah was diagnosed with scapuloperoneal spinal muscular atrophy or SPSMA, a rare type of neuromuscular disease, at the age of 6. As she got older, her fine motor skills began to weaken and she starting losing muscle tissue. Today, she uses leg braces to walk short distances and bilateral forearm crutches or her wheelchair for longer distances.
Any activity that requires grabbing can be extremely difficult. That includes getting dressed.
«Things like buttoning and zipping can really hurt my fingers and take a really long time, and I also have trouble getting pants to fit over my leg braces,» Leah tells ELLE.com. «I’m someone that wants to be independent, but just getting dressed in the morning has been a barrier to that. I especially dreaded using zippers because of the weakness in my hands.»
While inclusive fashion is on the rise, Leah says it’s still hard to find items that are both inexpensive and in vogue. So, she created an adaptive hack to modify what she already owns. With help from Open Style Lab, a nonprofit that creates wearable solutions for people of all abilities, Leah spent four weeks developing an assistive device for zippers.
The prototype is called «Easy Zip,» and will be for sale as part of Open Style Lab’s hackability toolkit. (You can get on the waitlist here.). All profits go back into funding for the organization’s summer program with Muscular Dystrophy Association this year to support aspiring fashion designers like Leah.
«My philosophy is that fashion for people with disabilities should be affordable and cute,» she says. «It’s typically really expensive to get adaptable clothes, especially more stylish options. So, my design philosophy is that accessibility must mean affordability, too.»
She describes Easy Zip as «donut-like,» with a big open oval and a hook at the top. «It’s very simple,» she says. «You put the hook through the zipper and you can zip it up and down.»
While a traditional zipper can take Leah up to 20 minutes to pull up, the helper cuts the process down to seconds. It can be used to tie shoes, button a shirt, and open and close handbags. It’s also detachable and small enough to carry around in a purse.
Leah Zelaya
Leah says the selling point for Easy Zip—and what sets it apart from other devices on the market—is that it’s customizable. «It comes with… glitter glue and stickers, so anyone can make it reflect their personal style,» she says. «We’re addressing challenges and creating hacks without sacrificing style.»
For her, Easy Zip is just the start. Leah is also working on a footwear design in a wide range of styles and colors that can fit over her leg braces.
«There’s still so much work to be done [when it comes to accessible fashion],» she says. «Bathing suits is another area. Current designs are really challenging for people with disabilities to put on, especially when they’re wet. I hope to see more options in casual, day-to-day clothing, too.»

Однако некоторые обратили внимание на другое, а именно — на фигуру Самойловой. Спустя полгода после родов Оксана выглядит просто шикарно, однако нельзя не заметить, что ее формы стали аппетитнее по сравнению даже с тем результатом, каким она хвасталась практически сразу после четвертых родов.
«Шикарная, Оксан», «Шикарная семья», «Как вы хорошо выглядите, Оксан», «Как вы так в форму пришли быстро? Как будто не рожали», «Что случилось с фигурой? Я вижу животик», — разделились мнения фолловеров. А что считаете вы?

Чистая кожа всегда была первым признаком красоты и здоровья, и поэтому рекомендуется уже с юных лет уделять ей особое внимание. Одним из самых распространенных заболеваний кожи лица является угревая сыпь или акне.

Акне возникает, когда сальные железы, прикрепленные к волосяным фолликулам, стимулируются во время полового созревания или из-за других гормональных изменений. Кожный жир — натуральное вещество, которое смазывает и защищает кожу. С увеличением выработки масла связано изменение способа созревания клеток кожи, что предрасполагает их к закупорке поры фолликула. Пробка может выглядеть как белая точка, если она покрыта тонким слоем кожи, более темная открытая часть пробки называется «черной точкой». Забитый волосяной фолликул постепенно увеличивается, образуя шишку. По мере увеличения фолликула стенка может разорваться, позволяя раздражающим веществам и нормальным кожным бактериям проникать в более глубокие слои кожи, что в конечном итоге вызывает воспаление. Воспаление у поверхности кожи приводит к образованию пустулы; глубокое воспаление приводит к образованию папулы (прыщика); далее образуется киста.
Очищение и уход за кожей.

Over the past few months, I have cultivated a style perhaps best described as The Big Lebowski meets Auntie Mame. After stay-at-home orders removed any semblance of a routine, I turned to piling on odd, clashing garments, as if I were starring in a one-woman, millennial version of Grey Gardens. I may not be a distant cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s living in a crumbling manor, but the sheer loopiness of the way I’ve chosen to dress feels fitting in a world where a viable conception of “normal” no longer exists.

I’m hardly the only fashion enthusiast who has turned to incongruous outfits to get through trying times. The Instagram account @wfhfits (Working From Home Fits), where people submit images of what they’re wearing to, yes, work from home, has amassed over 24,000 followers for its haute-deranged aesthetic. Among those featured are individuals—including Diane Keaton and Henry Rollins—flaunting extraterrestrial sunglasses, marabou-trimmed pajamas, and lacy vintage slips. If the words of RuPaul—“You’re born naked, and the rest is drag”—are any indication, people have dropped the facade of straitlaced convention and embraced dressing for themselves.
The painter Jeanine Brito has used the stay-at-home imperative as an opportunity to prance around the house in flouncy taffeta ball gowns with jeans underneath. “On Zoom calls for work, it’s become a meme that I’m always wearing some sort of prom dress,” she says. In the Before Times, Brito loved acquiring beautiful dresses but rarely found occasions to wear them. “It feels like there are no more occasions,” she says, “so why not wear them now?”
A similarly wacky spirit animated the hashtags #MetGalaChallenge and #PillowChallenge, in which household objects like newspapers and bedsheets, or belted pillows, respectively, were repurposed into faux-couture dresses. As with WWII “ration recipes,” in which baked peanuts were touted as an alternative to meat, and gelatin stretched one pound of butter into two, these screwball competitions may help satiate the desire for high-stakes fashion drama while the red carpet is on hiatus.
All of this newfound maximalism comes hand in hand with comfort. “Historically, most crises, like world wars or depressions, have exaggerated the trends that were occurring before the event happened,” says Valerie Steele, the director and chief curator of The Museum at FIT. Which means athleisure may finally triumph in the steady battle of attrition it has been waging against traditional dress codes for the last decade. Now that people delineate between “hard pants” and “soft pants,” the rigid confines of raw denim may never trump the downy yield of an elastic waistband ever again. But it also seems possible that our once-competing desires for comfort and glamour will merge, and there will be greater pressure for garments to check both boxes.
For every individual nestled in a sweatpants cocoon, there will be those who gravitate toward the most garish, outré getups imaginable instead. “After the Black Plague in the Middle Ages, fashion became more exaggerated,” Steele says. “Suddenly men were wearing tight breeches and doublets, and women were wearing dresses with low décolletage.” The Frankenstein monster outfits we’re seeing now are the opposite of “another sun-kissed influencer being paid to wear something boring at their modern vacation home in Malibu; it’s people at their wits’ end putting together outfits for the love of the game,” says Chris Black, founder of Done to Death Projects and a frequent contributor to @wfhfits. It’s less about an imperative to look good and more about finding the joy in fashion. If quarantine has given us anything, it’s the permission to finally dress however we damn well please.
