Not ready for UGG boots? The brand's cosy clogs are the comfy early-autumn shoes you won't want to take off
The perfect summer to autumn shoe
It's finally time to transition your wardrobe from summer to autumn, starting with one of the most important aspects - footwear. Flip-flop season may be over, but that might not mean you're ready to break out the fur-lined boots just yet. That's where UGG's new Goldenstar Evelina Clogs will fill the gap in your autumn outfit ideas, offering the same style appeal as Birkenstock Bostons with a little more cosiness and height.
Clogs have become an autumn capsule wardrobe staple in recent years, offering comfort with more coverage than sandals. However, traditional slip-on styles aren't always the most practical when temperatures drop. So, when I saw the new UGG clogs, I knew these were the shoes to bridge the seasonal gap with added warmth and support.
The sleek clog silhouette can't be beaten when it comes to comfortable slip-ons that still look elevated, but the addition of a supportive ankle strap and soft sheepskin lining makes these a cut above the rest. And it's not just me who thinks so - they're already selling at speed; these are about to become your autumn go-to.
Available in a range of neutral, autumnal shades, these clogs can be styled with everything from denim and a faux fur coat to tailored trousers and a cosy cashmere knit as the weather cools down.
One of the best features of these clogs is the slingback strap that can be worn for added support, or flipped forward to showcase the buckle hardware and make them even easier to slip into. Similar to the fan favourite UGG Tasman, they offer the comfort and cosiness of slippers with a refined suede upper and visible stitching that make them outdoor-ready.
Much like high-vamp ballet flats, the Goldenstar clogs offer coverage over the top of your feet with a loafer-esque silhouette for added polish. The shape is an instant shortcut to making your seasonal outfits look elevated without compromising on comfort. Worn under long tailored trousers or jeans, the rounded toe and suede material will remain on show and complement your seasonal wardrobe colour palette thanks to the warm chestnut hue.
Although these clogs offer the wearability of flats, the lightly stacked sole also works to offer some extra height when needed. On the days you don't want to wear heeled boots, these are the ideal alternative that will keep your feet warm and cushioned all day long.

This dark brown shade is ideal for avoiding any marks or stains, and feels distinctly autumnal. If you err towards darker shades during the cooler months, these will slot right into your capsule wardrobe.
Add a brighter touch to your seasonal outfits with this sand colour that will pair beautifully with light wash jeans and a matching beige knit jumper.
Whilst the season for long and knee-high boots will be upon us before long, I'm holding onto slip-ons for as long as possible. The Goldenstar silhouette bridges the gap between summer flats and full-coverage winter boots with chic details that look effortlessly polished.
The neutral shades on offer make them endlessly versatile and easy to style with your wardrobe staples, such as cashmere trousers and a trench for the office, or even a denim maxi skirt and a cardigan for coffee dates.
