Why Platform UGGs Are Suddenly Everywhere
Platform UGGs started showing up on TikTok and Instagram months ago. Influencers began pairing them with baggy jeans, oversized jumpers, mini skirts, and even activewear. At first, it looked like just another Gen Z thing. But then celebrities got involved. Bella Hadid, Keke Palmer, and even Gigi started stepping out in them. And suddenly, these weren’t just “house shoes” anymore; they were a full-on fashion statement.
What Makes Them So Popular?
It’s a mix of comfort and confidence. You get the soft, warm feel UGGs are known for, but with the added height and edge of a platform sole. It’s the kind of shoe you can throw on without overthinking it and still look stylish. And in places like Perth, where laid-back meets fashion-forward, that balance hits just right.
From Global Trend to Booragoon Favourite
At UGG Originals Booragoon, the trend didn’t just trickle in; it landed with a bang. As soon as the platform styles hit shelves, customers were trying them on and wearing them out the door. Locals were already aware of the trend before they walked in. What they needed was a way to make it work for their lifestyle. And clearly, they figured it out, because platform UGGs have become one of our best-selling styles.
What to Know Before You Buy Your First Pair
Platform UGGs are designed to fit snug at first. The sheepskin lining will soften and mould to your feet after a few wears. Most customers stick to their regular size, but if you're between sizes or prefer wearing thick socks, it’s worth trying one size up in-store.
You Don’t Have to Go Ultra Mini
While the Ultra Mini Platform gets a lot of hype, don’t overlook the other cuts. The UGG Classic Mini offers a bit more ankle coverage and structure, while still giving that platform edge. It comes down to personal style, and what looks best with your go-to outfits.
Yes, You Can Wear Them All Year
Despite being sheepskin-lined, these aren’t just winter boots. Platform UGGs are breathable enough to wear in Perth’s in-between seasons. We’ve seen people wearing them comfortably in early spring and even cooler summer nights.
Look Out for Limited Stock
Some colours and sizes sell out fast, especially the chestnut and black platform styles. If you’ve got your eye on a particular pair, it’s best to come in sooner rather than later. Staff at UGG Originals Booragoon can always help you find what fits and suits your style best.

What’s Trending at UGG Originals Booragoon
The clear front-runner? The Classic Ultra Mini Platform. It’s compact, chunky, and ridiculously easy to style. Customers love that it gives the signature UGG comfort but with a bit of height, without tipping into “too much”. For those wanting something a little taller, the Classic Mini Platform is also a top pick, especially in the chestnut and black colourways.
We’re also seeing a rise in customers going for slightly unexpected shades, think grey, sand, and even pink, looking to pair their UGGs with neutral tones or make them the statement piece of an otherwise simple outfit.
Buying Behaviour: Straight On, Straight Out
Here’s what’s interesting: most customers aren’t just trying them on and walking away to “think about it”. They’re buying them on the spot, often wearing them straight out of the store. That’s how wearable they are. We’ve seen everything from teens rocking them with denim shorts, to mums pairing them with leggings and long cardis, to uni students dressing them up with oversized coats.
It’s Not Just the Look — It’s the Feel
Let’s be real, Perth winters can be chilly in the mornings and warm by lunch. That’s why platform UGGs are winning. They’re warm enough for early commutes, breathable enough to wear indoors, and comfy enough for all-day errands. Locals are clocking that practicality just as much as the style factor.
How Locals Are Styling Platform UGGs in Booragoon
The most common pairing we’ve seen? Leggings, oversized jumpers, and a slicked-back bun. It’s the ultimate “school drop-off to brunch” look, and it’s everywhere around Booragoon. Platform UGGs slot in perfectly, they elevate the outfit (literally and stylistically) while keeping it super relaxed.
Another crowd favourite: bike shorts with an oversized tee or hoodie. Add a crossbody bag and sunglasses, and suddenly you’ve gone from casual to cool without even trying.
Dressed-Up (But Still Chill)
Yes, you can absolutely wear platform UGGs beyond errands. Locals are styling them with wide-leg trousers, tailored coats, and knit dresses for a comfy-meets-sleek vibe. The platforms balance out bulkier winter layers and give just enough height to avoid feeling frumpy.
And if you’re heading out in the evening? We’ve spotted a few trendsetters rocking them with mini skirts, slouchy socks, and bomber jackets, a bit of 90s-meets-now energy that’s perfect for a laid-back Perth night out.
Accessories Make the Difference
Don’t underestimate the power of a good accessory. The locals who pull off platform UGGs best tend to pair them with:
-
Crew socks (scrunched down or layered)
-
Simple gold jewellery
-
Structured bags
-
Baseball caps or beanies
It’s the small touches that take the look from “just comfy” to “cool and considered”.
Style Tips for First-Time UGG users
If you’re unsure where to start, go with classic colours like chestnut, black, or grey. They go with just about everything and won’t compete with the rest of your outfit. Once you’re comfortable, you can branch out into more playful tones like sand or pink.
Think Proportion
-
Platform UGGs are chunky, so balance is key. Try pairing them with:
-
Fitted leggings or bike shorts for a slim base
-
Oversized jumpers or coats up top to even it out
-
Cropped jeans or rolled cuffs to show a bit of ankle and avoid looking weighed down
This keeps the look effortless without drowning in fabric.
Don’t Overcomplicate It
The beauty of platform UGGs is that they’re laid-back. So don’t overthink the styling. Throw them on with your regular weekend outfit and go. You’ll probably be surprised by how well they just work.
Keep Socks in Mind
Socks make a difference, not just for warmth but for style. Go for:
-
White crew socks (scrunched down or pulled up)
-
Matching tones for a sleek, seamless look
-
Or a pop of colour to make the boots stand out
Just skip anything too thick, the fit’s snug already.
Break Them In (If You Need To)
UGG boots are famously comfy, but if it’s your first time wearing a platform style, give them a short break-in period. Wear them around the house first to let them mould to your feet, then you’ll never want to take them off.
