Autumn isn’t just about crunchy leaves and Pumpkin Spice Lattes. For us 00s veterans, it’s about one thing: pulling on those slightly wonky, definitely not official Ugg boots, and pretending they were the height of fashion.
The Essentials
- Fake Uggs — preferably from Primark, with a heel that collapsed faster than your MSN friendship groups.
- Keggings — the cursed denim-look leggings that fooled no one, but made us feel like style icons.
- Longline Hoodie or Top — bonus points if it had a random slogan like Love to Dance or Angel Energy.
- Chunky Scarf — because autumn was the season for wrapping 4 metres of knitwear around your neck.
- Hair — poker-straight (if your mum let you use her GHDs), or scraped into a messy bun that wasn’t actually messy, just crunchy with hairspray.
Atmosphere Add-Ons
- iPod blasting JLS or The Saturdays.
- A trip to Greggs with your mates after school.
- That one girl who wore hers even when it rained and they ended up soggy and flopping sideways.

Oh babes, the fake Ugg starter pack was elite. You weren’t walking, you were SHUFFLING — heel folded under, sole peeling off, dignity left at the bus stop. And keggings? The blueprint. Dry toast energy girls wore jeans, icons wore jeggings, LEGENDS wore keggings. Don’t @ me.
