Quick answer: For Australian winter 2026, the fastest-moving UGG styles are ultra mini boots, platform soles, tall classics and sheepskin moccasins/scuffs for indoors. Chestnut and chocolate remain the best-selling colours, with black close behind. Below is what's trending and how to shop each look.
1. Ultra mini & mini boots — the silhouette of the season
The just-above-ankle ultra mini is the most-requested shape this winter — easy to wear with jeans, dresses and trackpants. It's the modern alternative to the classic short. Shop women's UGG boots and look for mini and ultra mini styles.
2. Platform UGGs — height + warmth
Platform and chunky-sole UGGs are trending hard, led by styles like the Ultra Mini Platform. The raised sole adds a few centimetres and keeps your feet further from cold, damp ground. Browse the UGG platform collection.
3. Tall classics — back in rotation
Tall sheepskin boots (mid-calf and higher) are having a comeback for skirts, dresses and tucked-in leggings. They're also the warmest classic style. See women's and men's UGG boots for tall options.
4. Indoor sheepskin: moccasins, scuffs & slides
With more people working from home, sheepskin moccasins and scuffs are a top winter category. They're the cosiest indoor option and the men's scuffs are among our best sellers. Shop women's slippers and men's slippers.

How to choose for an Australian winter
Most of Australia has a mild but damp winter, so a water-resistant classic or platform UGG worn with a sheepskin protector spray covers most days. For genuinely wet conditions, remember sheepskin is water-resistant, not waterproof. Unsure of size? Use our UGG sizing guide.
