While the Marin County winter season doesn’t become extremely cold, Marin residents still insist on going all out with winter attire. I’m sure many are just now expanding their wardrobe and putting their winter outfits together. But before you go out on a clothing shopping spree, I’m here to tell you what not to sport this winter.
In-Depth:
Nike Tech- There are probably about a million different ways that I can make fun of a Nike Tech, but I will not exhaust you. Just know that you should not pay 135 dollars for what I like to call the “Nike Tech-nically wearable.”
Skinny jeans- This can’t be comfortable. How do you even move your legs? Imagine that you start sweating, and you don’t have any space between your legs and jeans. What do you think is going to happen? That is what I call a potential “Disaster Class” (opposite of a MasterClass).
Scarves- So, you’re telling me that people just throw a piece of fabric around their necks and call it fashion? Scarfs are impractical and only function to keep your neck warm, but does your neck even need it? Why don’t we all just start wearing Thneeds? They work just as well and can be used in several ways.
Denim jackets- We are living in a world where there are two types of denim jacket wearers: those who wear them normally, and those who wear a denim jacket and jeans. Please don’t be the second type of wearer. I will severely despise you if you wear denim on denim. How about we just leave the Canadian tuxedo as a thing of the past?
PJs- I guess they are comfortable, but you just present yourself as a lazy slob when wearing PJs in public. Whenever I see someone wearing PJs, I just think to myself, ‘Did you sleep in those, or did you put them on this morning, attempting to create a “fit?”’ Unfortunately, either case is equally concerning.
College sweatshirts- New rule: you can only wear college sweatshirts if you are going to that college. I get it, Harvard makes nice sweatshirts. But let’s face it, you’re not going there.
Beanies- Beanies are great if used properly. They can be an asset to your warmth. But at what cost? You know your hair will just be a tangled, nuclear mess after you take that beanie off. Plus it’s not even that cold in Marin County to sacrifice your hair for a beanie.
Shorts and a T-shirt- No, you’re not cool. No one thinks that you are “tuff” for refusing to wear winter attire. I know you are freezing, put me out of my misery looking at you and put on a jacket.
Skinny sweatpants- For reasons I cannot say, do yourself a favor and make sure you have a little room between your legs and your sweatpants. Please.
Quick Shots:
Ugly sweaters- Come on, it’s in the name.
Christmas socks- Minus 10 points if you pair this with an ugly sweater.
UGGs- UGGs is just short for “ugly.”
Earmuffs- These are just glorified, warm headphones that can’t even play music.
Shiesty- There is a significant difference between how this looks when Justin Jefferson wears this and when you wear it.
Gloves- A little suspicious…
Heated jacket- Impractical, uncomfortable, expensive.
While I could give you a list of proper winter attire, I feel that this list is a more appropriate approach to style this winter. Instead of focusing on what to wear, it’s better to determine what not to wear.

I completely disagree with the statement on UGGS and WILL NOT tolerate ugg slander.
UGGs, though often subject to polarizing opinions, are undeniably the answer to the cold weather seasonal dilemma. Combining unmatched comfort, practical warmth, and timeless style, UGGs have cemented themselves as a winter staple.
Built for Winter Weather
UGGs may be synonymous with cozy fashion, but their practicality in cold conditions cannot be overlooked. Made with high-quality sheepskin, UGG boots naturally insulate against freezing temperatures while wicking away moisture, keeping feet warm and dry. Unlike other trendy winter boots that focus purely on aesthetics, UGGs provide functional warmth without sacrificing convenience. Their slip-on design makes them perfect for busy winter mornings, whether you’re rushing to school, running errands, or heading to work. Plus, their lightweight construction prevents the fatigue that often comes with clunky, heavy boots.
In addition, UGGs have evolved over the years to include waterproof styles, making them more versatile than ever. These adaptations allow UGG lovers to navigate rain, snow, and sleet without worrying about damage. Practicality is key when choosing winter footwear, and UGGs deliver durability, warmth, and ease all in one package.
One of the defining characteristics of UGG boots is their unparalleled comfort. The interior of UGGs is lined with soft, plush wool, creating a cozy and cushion-like environment for your feet. Unlike stiff, structured winter shoes that can cause blisters or discomfort, UGGs conform to the shape of your feet over time, ensuring a custom fit. This makes them perfect for all-day wear—whether you’re lounging at home, walking through the snow, or exploring a holiday market.
Furthermore, the softness of UGGs makes them an excellent choice for those with sensitive feet or who simply prioritize comfort. They feel luxurious yet effortless, making winter days a little more bearable. In a season where cold toes and stiff shoes are all too common, UGGs provide a warm escape that feels like walking on clouds.
While fashion trends come and go, UGGs have managed to maintain their iconic status. Their simple yet stylish design allows them to pair effortlessly with almost any winter outfit. From oversized sweaters and leggings to jeans and puffer jackets, UGGs add a relaxed yet put-together vibe to your look. The neutral tones—ranging from classic chestnut to black and grey—make them versatile enough to match any wardrobe, while bolder colors and patterns allow for a more unique flair.
UGGs aren’t just for casual wear either. Celebrities and influencers alike have embraced UGGs in all seasons, styling them in ways that prove their enduring charm. The boots add a cozy and effortless aesthetic to any outfit, blending comfort with a touch of chic. In short, UGGs strike the perfect balance between practical and cute, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice style to stay warm.
When the temperature drops, wearing UGGs is like wrapping your feet in a warm blanket, making the challenges of winter a little more enjoyable. So, slip into a pair of UGGs this winter—you won’t regret it, and don’t ever listen to the UGG haters.
