FASHION PICKS: ROCKIN’ DOC MARTENS

July 15th, 2009

Known as one of the quintessential fashion pieces of the ’90s, Doc Martens are definitely on trend in ’09. Hate them or love them, we have spotted these ecclectic boots on stylish celebs, such as: Solange, Amber Rose and most recently, Ciara.

Docs came back on the scene via British hipsters (part of the UK “New Rave” movement) in the fall ‘06 and started trickling back on runways in the U.S. earlier this year — with the help of designer Marc Jacobs. Peep some of our Doc Marten picks below. Are you feelin’ the DM trend?

*1. PASCAL RED$110 // 2. WHITE SOFTY ANGEL WINGS$150 // 3. YELLOW SMOOTH$98 // *4. 1460′s in GOLD$85.60 // 5. CHERRY RED DARCIE’s$130 // 6. CORSET [BLACK+SILVER]$150 // *7. BLACK PATENT LAMPER$115 // 8. WHITE+AQUA FLORAL PRINT$120

    Those boots ugly as shit and look a hot mess on Ciara, Amber and Solonge. I don’t care what’s in style…it’s all about what looks good, and rockin combat boots with stretch pants and a skirt AIN’T gon get it.

    lmao @ #9!!!! Thats EXACTLY what they are!! If you are a true 80s baby you know those are some JODECI boots!! LMAO!

    I think when you were actually apart of the era when rockin them were cool, you cannot possibly see how this trend should be brought back in 09.

    No thanks, I rocked them enough back in the day….

    @11 the scrunchy socks and some shorts!! Lol

    i LOVE docs. mostly black ones though. some people can rock the floral ones. silver is cute. the rest are ugly to me

    docs looks great with mini skirts, short dresses, peplums, and shorts. i hate them with everything else. i feel like with docs. you need to show off legs. it’s so sexy

    @delight the first skinheads weren’t racist. racist people liked the look and stole it but essentially they aren’t racist so wearing them doesn’t mean you’re advocating hate. i mean there are black skinheads as well

    Uknow

    I would argue Gareth Pugh is more to blame for poseur kids (the punk theme is enduring there, there would be no need of their taking inspiration from ANY designer)in England wearing them and here, more urban outfitters or, if you’ve got the loot, opening ceremony than Marc Jacobs, but whatever. They’re still not cool at all precisely because so many trendy women with their ersatz style and their need to be cool insist on wearing them. It is NOT cool to wear them, PERIOD. Anybody who is cool in Docs will be wearing the rattiest pair you’ve ever seen…and that will be because they owned a pair in the nineties before people wanted to puke at the brand. Hardy harrr harr@ all these celebrities who know nothing about style.

    @ #31 u are so right

    i only recognize them because they skin heads used to rock them hardcore. these boots were their signature style along with their bald heads, which that amber chick is looking like. i thought she was a skin head for a second.

    u would never catch me wearing these. plus the all pink is a BIG NO!!!! ciara get lost please!!! do us that one favor.

    I like 6 and 7. Something you could wear a lot more than you could with the other colors. Those cost too much money to be buying it in bright pink and end up not having much to wear em with lol

    I’m not wit it but if it singles the 90′s are coming back “in” and the 80s are finally going out-then I’m all for it…I swear the 80s have been “in style” longer than they were in the…80s. I hope chockers don’t come back in though, LOL

    Please do a bit more research. these boots weren’t worn by euro punks. these boots were part of the main wardrobe staple of skin heads and neo-nazi punks. There’s no way in hell I’d wear anything that was ever a part of that. Wake up and stop pushing this crap as fashion before you find white hooded sheets in style too. These celebs are ignorant.
