5 Ways to Style Your New (or Old) Uggs

Ugg boots mini, Ugg slippers and Ugg Sandals styled with trousers for fresh 2022 outfits

Uggs? Crew socks? Puffers? An Ugg campaign featuring our girl CHER?! ❤️‍🔥 This is sounding a lot more like 2009 and less like 2022, right? But don’t worry, whether you want to revive your decade-old Uggs or managed to get the new Ugg Mini II, Ugg Ultra Mini, Ugg Neumel, or platform slippers (Ugg Tazz, Ugg Tasman, or Ugg Disquette), we’ve seen it all at Curtsy and we are here to help you out.

Read on to see how to style your sweet sherpa kicks! We’re ranking these looks from dressed up to the most casual…

  1. Wide or straight legged trousers. Since we gave skinny jeans the kiss of death last year, we’ve been on the hunt for new ways to style our new favorite pair of trousers. Well, the good news is that the possibilities with Uggs are endless! Treat your trousers as you would with a good combat boot or your favorite sneaker: cuff your pants (show a little skin..or sock 😏) or flaunt the wide legged look by just letting them casually drape over the boot. This look works with any Ugg style.

    how to style uggs: trousers

  2. Denim. Take your favorite mom jeans or crisp white pair of denim and style them however you want with your Uggs. Similar to trousers, cuff ‘em, leave ‘em hanging, whatever you like. The fun part here is you can dress up your look with a button up and an oversized blazer or take the more casual approach with a hoodie and a statement coat.

    how to style uggs: with denim

  3. Leggings. Leggings? With Uggs? Groundbreaking. In all seriousness, this sounds like a no brainer, but dress up your Uggs with leather or wax-coated leggings or your favorite Gymshark, Lululemon, or Nike pair you snagged from Curtsy. Have fun with cool crew socks or a classic pair of socks from Nike. Throw on a cropped puffer or favorite wool winter coat.

    how to style uggs: leggings

  4. Flared yoga pants. Another comeback piece, yoga pants are no longer just for walking the dog or doing the downward dog. Style your Uggs and flared yoga pants with your go-to turtleneck sweater and an oversized blazer or a vintage crewneck and chunky gold jewelry. 🔑

  5. Sweatpants. This is a great way to continue the monochrome outfit look (remember all the neutral sweat suits you acquired in 2021?) and break up your look with Uggs. Tuck your sweatpants straight into the Uggs or layer them with crew socks. 🧦

    Did you catch our last Weekly Sale? 15% off all sweatpants and joggers. Catch it next time!

PS. Want to know how to clean your Uggs and care for them? Most of the recent styles will come pre-treated by Ugg directly but we’d recommend looking for a kit that has a cleaning AND weather treating solution. The kits with a brush and stain eraser are clutch. 💯 Now your Uggs are ready for all the elements!

CFW21 Stands for Curtsy Fashion Week 2021

It’s Fashion Week season! Whether you’re tuning in virtually or packing your outfits literally as you’re reading this (hi Carson bb! 💖), here are some trends we are SO excited for. And since we’re on the cusp of Fall 🍂 but have yet to let go of Summer 🌻, here are 2 ways to style these up & coming trends…

💥 MAXIMALISM | Think prints, bright colors, bold patterns, and loud logos or text. This was a pretty easy trend to incorporate into your wardrobe this summer with bright accessories but you can continue to sprinkle this into your fall wardrobe. We LOVE a statement coat or a brightly colored tailored set. Also, be on the lookout for thicker material trousers (sidenote: wide leg pants currently 15% off this week on Curtsy!), lugg sole boots, and chunky loafers. Headbands (yes, that’s right, a la Blair Waldorf) are even making a comeback!

🧶 TEXTURE | Okay fine, this isn’t a “trend” per se but you know crochet, faux fur, and playing with mixed materials? Well if you thought Summer was fun, you will LOVE all the opportunity Fall will bring with faux fur, jacquard, 3D elements like pearls, gems, and funky metallics.

🤠 WESTERN | This one is more obvious but sometimes you forget there are hints of influence from Western “cowboy” styles like anything leather (especially blazers, oversized coats, and trousers), the ever-so-persistent cowboy boots, fun with fringe, and of course… flares.

🧳 See what Carson is packing for her NYFW trip!

5 Easy Ways to Reduce Your Environmental Impact ♻️

Meet our Curtsy Stylists: Rachel, Ally, Grace, & Aaliyah
Meet our Curtsy Stylists: Rachel, Ally, Grace, & Aaliyah

Need some inspo on how to help reduce your carbon footprint and environmental impact? Read on!

  1. Shop & sell responsibly
    • 🛍️ Buy from:
      • Curtsy, duh — but really, the best way to keep up with fashion trends sustainably is to buy secondhand.
      • Facebook Marketplace — there are some GREAT finds out there for furniture. West Elm, Pottery Barn, vintage. Fun fact: our office furniture is all thrifted off of FB Marketplace thanks to our very own Clags!
      • Remake — a Curtsy partner, Remake has a brand directory where they rate brands you already know & love based on factors including: Human Rights, Climate, Water, and Waste. Discover new brands on there & shop them on Curtsy
    • ♻️ Give items a second, third, fourth, etc. life
      • Don’t waste any of your precious time in person at the thrift store. And do you really know where items you donate end up in? The majority end up in landfills. Instead, sell your items on a resale platform like Curtsy so you know they’re not going to end up in a landfill after you’re done with them.
  2. Rethink your beauty & kitchen tools
    • 💋 Beauty — Replace your disposable cotton swabs & pads with something reusable! I personally used to use those disposable make up wipes everyday but have since replaced them with reusable pads & a MakeUp Eraser
    • 🧋 Eat/drink — Try replacing your sandwich bags & saran wrap with beeswax wraps & silicone sandwich bags.Do you still drink your coffee & tea out of paper cups? Do you still buy plastic water bottles? Try reusable tumblers and mugs like these instead. There are SO many options out there.
  3. Watch these documentaries
    • 👗 The True Cost — an eyeopening deep dive into the fast fashion industry
    • 🌊 Seaspiracy — how our diets affect our ocean friends
  4. 🌎 David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet — our impact on nature

  5. Commute consciously — now there are plenty of ways to get around: carpool with friends, bike, scooter/moped, take public transportation, or get some fresh air and walk. 🚲🛴🛵

  6. Follow these sustainable influencers for more inspo:

While it’s still Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage month, we wanted to celebrate by highlighting some awesome AAPI owned brands available on Curtsy & beyond. 💛🤎 For some inspo by style, peep the below 👇🏽

Or maybe you have allllll the postponed & everyone-who-got-engaged-during-quarantine weddings to attend? Don’t worry, we got you there too. Jenny Yoo does great bridesmaids dresses but also has some great wedding guest options. And we can’t forget about Oscar de la Renta (of which 1/2 of the amazing design team is Laura Kim), and Vera Wang.



Ok but really though, who is excited for vax girl summer? 🙋🏻‍♀️ With brands like Derek Lam, Jason Wu, and Anna Sui, we’ve got you covered with our deals on tops, dresses, denim, sunnies, and more on Curtsy. Also, don’t forget Uniqlo and our girl Vera Wang also do a mean slip midi dress.

We saw you give a lot of love to bucket hats, Airpod cases, keychains, and iPhone accessories. The best (and most affordable) way to upgrade your outfit is to swap out your accessories!

Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Curtsy recommended Gifts for Mom

What do you give to the #1 person in your life who has given you your entire life? Or is it a new addition in your life (mother-in-law)? And if Mother’s Day is not something you are regularly celebrating, then consider this the perfect opportunity to gift yourself something in the name of 🌼 self care🌼.

Also, we know 2020 was rough for family celebrations. Hopefully 2021 will bring you more opportunities to travel & see your fam but in the meantime here at Curtsy, we’ve got you with our Mother’s Day 2021 gift guide…

🤩 Seeing your mom this Mother’s Day?

  1. Plan a fun picnic complete with rosé and a charcuterie board. Perfect excuse to eat snacks as a meal.
  2. You can never go wrong with a spa day. Facials, massage, mani pedi. Some quality rest & relaxation time.  
  3. Cook a meal (or 2) for her! With meal kits like Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, etc. you don’t need a culinary degree to whip up a 3 course meal.

✈️ Mom is 3,000 miles away? No problem!

  1. Unique, functional gifts. A few Curtsy HQ favs are Dagne Dover, Girlfriend Collective, and Airbnb (gift cards). 
  2. A subscription! Whether it’s for wine, jewelry, clothing — it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
