In a different life, I will be dancing at a dive bar rocking this look. A lot of girls are rocking this look with thick socks scrunched right at the top of the boot. High-waisted cut-off denim shorts with the docs. So if you don’t have some rockin’ legs (we hate you Shana)… you can sit this one out with me. First of all, the docs cut the leg short. My legs, on the other hand, aren’t my best feature, so I’ll be sticking with opaque. So if you’re feeling brave, by all means, shred away. You know how destroyed denim is sort of a thing? Well, destroyed tights with Docs. But the real look is with either patterned tights (polka dot being my favorite) or with sheer destroyed tights. The tights can be opaque to keep it a little more conservative. I even rocked it to a wedding a couple weeks ago (full disclosure: I felt a little underdressed, but 100% more badass than the sea of Cache dresses). And it’s the top that allows you to introduce some color and personal style to keep you from feeling like a total poser. The one I am wearing - albeit not overly feminine - is from Madewell. Moving up from the pants, I always pair them with a more feminine top to offset the masculine hardness of the boot. The black of the boot keeps the fashion element alive. And stick to pretty destroyed denim to balance the edge and hardness of the boot. However, if blue jeans are your go-to, then tight roll them to form a cuff right above the first lace whole. Sometimes, when they’re paired with the blue, I feel like I start looking more like a chef than I intended. I like to stick with the black skinny jeans. And since I do prefer to wear clothes with my boots, here’s how I do it. I am beyond envious of you! But, for the rest of us, we’ll be rocking the black. If you are under the age of 18, heroin skinny, or super edgy, by all means, embrace the crazy pink patten leather or wild floral prints. But after Miley Cyrus rode a wrecking ball wearing nothing but her burgundy docs, I think I am going to say those babies are practically off limits now. If you’re feeling really adventurous, burgundy. And, while these boots come in a multitude of colors, for most of us, I think you’re safest sticking with the black. The overall look is meant to introduce some punk elements into your wardrobe. I am here today to show you a few ways to style these bad boys and hopefully give you a bunch of tips on size, fit, and breaking them in with the least amount of pain as possible. ![]() My eighth grade self is blindly diving head-first back into this trend. These babies are making their way into real fashion. And no longer are they strictly reserved for the punk rock grunge culture or ‘Hot Topic’ crowd. ![]() Hello again ANMJ readers… Eek! I am not sure if I am more excited to re-guest post here or cover this awesome topic: good ol’ Doc Martens. OE is a dear friend, and the fabulously talented mama behind Girl Meets Baby. I’m thrilled to have OE back (remember this?).
