Just last week I took to New York City’s Winter Village — held in Bryant Park — to interview real teens for SheKnows about what gifts they actually want for the holidays. In short, I learned that there’s one universally adored gift for teen girls that you, parents, can give. From tourists to locals, so many of the kids I interviewed said the same thing: this year they want UGGs.
The sheepskin boots — modeled after those worn by Australian surfers — have steadily remained in the cultural zeitgeist since long before I asked for my first pair (pink! With bows!) at age 13 back in 2015.
However, here’s the thing about UGGs. It’s not just one size fits all. Different teens want different styles, and with all the different options, choosing a pair for your teen can feel overwhelming.
Parents might imagine that UGGs, with their fluffy insides, are best worn as slippers. Teens have other ideas. The girls I interviewed talked about wearing their Minis to school, their Bailey Bows out and about… the possibilities are endless.
So without further ado, here’s a guide for picking the best pair of UGGs for teen girls this holiday season.
For the Girly Girl

Mini Bailey Bow II Boot
The Bailey Bow II is a perfect pair for the teen who also loves scented lip balm, Starbucks frappuccinos, and Lululemon. I recommend purchasing a pair in the classic chestnut shade.
For the Trend Follower

Classic Ultra Mini
The classic UGG Ultra Minis are the UGGs heard ‘round the world… Celebrities wear them to the supermarket, cool twenty-somethings throw them on with socks and yoga leggings, and teens are taking it all in stride.

Disquette Slipper
If your teen can most likely be found curled up on the couch, mug in hand, then the Disquette Slipper is for her. These are perfect for nights in and movie marathons, long study days, and lazy afternoons.
For the Sleepover Showoff

Classic Ultra Mini Platform
I present to you the trendy UGG Minis, but with a little extra height and in a turquoise shade (sorry — “Deep Ice” according to the UGG website). A fun color is a classic differentiator and will make your teenage fashionista feel super seen. Plus, they’re on sale!
For the Throwback Lover

Classic Short II
If your teen can’t stop listening to Katy Perry’s “Firework” and making Rainbow Loom bracelets… just kidding, 2010 fanatics aren’t the only ones who will love these UGGs. The classic short boots are the staple of the brand and, in my opinion, the coziest and comfiest option for long winter months.
