This page is devoted to a single shade - Chestnut - and treats it the way a careful shopper would: first the color, then the wardrobe it belongs in, then the styles of boot it has been offered on, and finally how to look after it season after season. Chestnut is where the whole story starts - the tan that turned a surf boot into an icon.

Chestnut is the signature color - the warm, toasted tan that most people picture when they hear the brand's name. The dye has a gentle red-gold undertone, like the shell of a roasted chestnut, and it deepens slightly as the suede is broken in.
Chestnut is the easiest boot color to style ever sold: blue denim in every wash, cream and oatmeal knits, olive parkas and plaid scarves all fall into step with it. It warms black outfits too, though its natural home is the autumn palette of rust, mustard and forest green.
If a classic style exists, it has been sold in chestnut: tall, short and mini boots, slippers, moccasins and the page surf-shop silhouettes. It is the reference color against which every fashion shade in the line is judged.
Chestnut scuffs show as darker smudges; a suede eraser followed by a brush usually lifts them. The color can darken unevenly if it gets soaked, so dry wet boots slowly at room temperature, stuffed with paper, never on a radiator.
This color's photograph dates from October 2017 and remains below as a historical reference point for Chestnut. For today's offering - which boots, in which colors, in which sizes - the official UGG website is the place to check.
It was the color of the page surf-shop boots, it flatters nearly every skin tone and wardrobe, and it hides everyday wear gracefully. Decades of photographs have made chestnut the default image of the boot itself.
Slightly, and usually for the better - the suede relaxes into a richer tone with wear. Uneven dark patches come from water, so use protector spray and dry any soaking slowly and evenly.
Chestnut is warmer, lighter and more casual; chocolate is deeper and dresses up more easily. If your wardrobe leans on denim and knits, choose chestnut; if it leans on black and tailoring, look at chocolate or black.
