How To Wear Dr Martens. Style Guide

Dr Martens shoes are that type of evergreen footwear, an accessory that has always accompanied us. Present since the most tender teenage memories (who doesn't remember the classic black Dr Martens boots ?) to the turbulent first twenties made of university lessons, sports events, walks with our four-legged friends and evenings with the first elegant clothes to which we wanted to give a gritty touch by wearing our inseparable Dr Martens. At the time, surely no one ever asked themselves what the best way to match them was: the imperative was to amaze, be comfortable, and create outfits with the few means available. Today the Dr Martens collections are endless, made of flashy, colorful, gritty and super glamorous models. So how do we find the best look to enhance our new Dr Martens?

Dr Martens, which color to choose for a flawless total look

First of all, it is essential to understand which Dr Martens model can be a perfect compendium for our look. The catalog in fact presents combat boots and lace-ups, but there are also Dr Martens models without laces , similar to the men's ankle boot or moccasin style. If we choose the high-shoe lace-up model , like the classic combat boots, the coolest way to lace up Dr Martens is definitely to keep the lace loose, avoiding closing the last two holes. The most popular color, as always, is the timeless Dr Martens black : perfect for enhancing winter looks , floral dresses, and sophisticated looks , especially in the shiny patent leather version. A beautiful alternative is the plum or aubergine color, excellent for casual outfits paired with jeans and light-colored sporty sweatshirts, or with light sweaters with a thin weave. For those who love light colors, the pastel colors of Dr Martens definitely enhance spring outfits , made of transparent fabrics, silk, or natural fibers such as hemp and cotton. If you have any doubts about how Dr Martens fit , don't worry: the line of the foot often meets a perfect fit, without therefore opting for sizes smaller than ours.

Long skirt, leggings, tights: how to match Dr Martens

When opting for low Dr Martens models, the best thing to do is choose minimal short socks , for very sophisticated looks, like the classic black ghosts. Alternatively, for a total monochrome look, low socks can have a glamorous detail, like bows or appliques. Even better if the low shoes are paired with a skirt, which can be either mini or long . Another interesting and truly chic alternative is leggings, perhaps with some appliques: a bold look that doesn't forget the charm and glamorous elegance of precious stones and appliques. And for those who can't give up transgression, a look that defines a unique and irresistible personality is definitely the Dr Martens with studs. From the classic combat boots with fluorescent laces and totally studded metal studs, to the low shoe adorned with monochrome studs, in line with the stitching and holes in the laces. Each model has its own personality: which Dr Martens model best describes your style?
