Call the Doctor

So has anyone noticed that Dr.Martens are making a huge comeback? Procrastinating writing my 6 page paper on the Palauan Islands of Micronesia, I decided to partake in some wishful online shopping. You see, Dr.Martens were worn by factory workers and postmen in the 1960s, later skinheads adopted the boot (something I'm not fond of.. ps: im Jewish), and in the 1970s they were being worn by masses of subculture fanatics including: Mods, glam, punks, ska, psychobillies, grebos, Goths, industrialists, nu-metal, hardcore, straight-edge, grunge, Britpop.

One word: WOAH. These babies were HUGE in the 90s but somehow they died down in the start of the new millenium... May we blame UGGs for this occurance?

"Dr. Martens are practical, hard-wearing and a design classic" (Martin Roach). Pretty much: they last forever and come in many different colors and designs.

Having doubts that something worn by factory workers and large bald-headed racist men can actually be turned into something cute?

Well here are some looks incorporating this age-old classic:
bothered by the chunk? try some Dr.Martens flats or wedges:


add some color to the mix or try some floral prints:








So maybe summertime isn't the best time to throw on some docs, but these chunky classics would go great with a simple pair of shorts and a spaghetti strap or a flowy top/leggings combo. Whatever your cup of tea is, Dr.Martens has a design for you.
