Garnet takes its name from the gemstone: a deep, blue-leaning red, darker than scarlet and richer than burgundy, with a jewel's glow where the suede catches the light. It is a red for people who find bright red too loud.
Garnet boots are the outfit for people who dress in black, grey and navy all winter and want one rich note of color. They glow against charcoal coats, sit regally with cream knits, and echo the berries and wines of autumn dressing without matching them exactly.
Garnet has been used on classic short boots, minis and festive slipper editions, often appearing in autumn and holiday collections. Its depth also suits the brand's heeled and wedge fashion boots, where it reads like an evening shoe.
Strong red dyes deserve a colorfastness check: rub a white cloth on the suede before the first wear, and avoid wearing garnet boots with very pale trousers until you know the dye is settled. Protector spray guards the jewel tone from rain spotting.
Below you will find the photograph that has shown this color since October 2017, kept for historical reference. Because shades are retired and revived over the years, treat the official UGG website as the authority on whether Garnet is in the current range.
Garnet sits between them, closer to a gemstone red with a blue undertone. It is deeper and moodier than ribbon red, the line's brighter festive shade.
Any saturated suede can shed a trace of color when new, especially when damp. The white-cloth test and a few wears with darker socks first will tell you when the dye has settled.
Orange-leaning reds and hot pinks fight its blue undertone. Garnet prefers cool companions: charcoal, navy, cream, plum and deep green.
