UGG Boots Are Taking Fall 2026 By Storm With A Wild West Upgrade
The fall season is getting a little bit wilder with a 2026 UGG upgrade. The brand has reimagined some of its classic styles with a ranch-ready twist, adding western motifs alongside a realistic cowprint. For example, renditions of the Tazz and Classic Tall come equipped with a removable skirt featuring the print, while the Otzo Clog is completely doused in the hand-painted pattern.
These Wild West-inspired UGGs are set to stampede through the fall 2026 season, with Women speaking exclusively to Cynthia Kennedy, personal stylist and founder of Your Style Transformation Academy, to get the low-down. "There is something fun about putting a whole new personality on a boot as familiar and iconic as the UGG," the expert explains. "They've always been the go-to for a casual, cozy look, but the cow print makes them feel like a statement piece."
UGGs landed on the list of the previously outdated trends that came back with a vengeance in 2025, with this makeover taking things to another level by speaking to the popularity of western wear while putting a twist on familiar animal prints. "Cow print has that same animal element, but it comes across as more unexpected and fresh than your typical leopard or zebra," Kennedy continues. The new look might be unexpected, but it's still wearable.
Expert-approved tips for styling this Wild West update
In addition to the ways celebrities have worn UGGs for winter, there are expert-approved styling tips specific to the western renditions of this footwear. For one, Cynthia Kennedy recommends letting the cowprint UGGs be the outfit's statement piece. "With the personality cow print brings, there's no need to compete with it," she explains to Women exclusively. "Let the footwear speak for itself by keeping the rest of your outfit simple and in solid colors."
Pairing your UGGs with a classic pair of jeans is a great way to do this, as the expert explains that denim serves as a subtle nod to the western wear aesthetic. Additionally, fashion lovers can carry the cowprint colors into other pieces, utilizing shades of white, brown, and black. "Try a chocolate-brown jacket, black top, or cream sweater, and it'll tie the look together, making the print seem like a deliberate choice," the expert says. This method feels especially autumn-ready, cultivating a warm color scheme while still feeling fashion-forward.
While the coziness of UGGs has them associated with similarly laid-back pieces, Kennedy suggests mixing the ranch-ready renditions with unexpected pieces. "Pair them with some dark-wash jeans, a beautiful knit and an oversized blazer or structured jacket," she says. "The contrast of the UGG with more polished pieces makes the look feel current."
