Things You Should Know
- If you’re nervous about wearing Doc Martens over 40, start simple. Pair the shoes with jeans or leggings and a simple tee or blouse.
- Dress up your Docs by wearing them with nice trousers and a dressy top or blazer. If you have a longer boot, cuff your pant legs at the bottom.
- Juxtapose the ruggedness of the combat boots with playful femininity by wearing them with a maxi dress or long, flowy skirt. Floral patterns look especially good.
- Create a stylish yet functional aesthetic by pairing your Docs with a sweater and fleece pants during the colder seasons. Throw on a trench coat for flair!
