Are you a MUGG?

As I have stated before I am no Vogue wannabe; fashion is far from my forte, you've seen the Christmas jumper - although I do try to dress more hip than David Dickinson, as well as taking advice from my good friend and style guru Jun Chan. But there is a certain recent clothing development around my university which is, to say the least, troubling me. 

This is the noticeably rapid rise in the male student wearing the UGG boot, which I have currently nicknamed the MUGG:

Man-wearing-UGG(s).

It's bad enough when I see an attractive girl and then my eyes find themselves at these sheepskin shovels, but now it's clear the average man also thinks it's cool to boot up just because we've had a bit of snow and they want a bit of Australia down below.

I am, off-course, originally from Essex, and I'm really hoping this is not a craze which started there, although I should admit it was the location of a few primary sightings.

In the county's defence it did take quite a brunt of the snow, and I have seen scatterings of MUGGs in other places, like here in Dorset and in East London. 

The Sun has also pointed out a few famous men who are following the MUGG trend - it's not on.
