Since hitting the market over 70 years ago, famed English footwear brand Dr. Martens has created styles beloved by consumers around the world — from its classic 1460 combat boot (which earned the FNAA’s coveted shoe of the year title in 2019) to more contemporary platform silhouettes and brogues. In addition to their edgy appeal, the shoes remain closet staples thanks to their ability to be worn in nearly any season.
As colder months approach, we took cues from celebrities and street style stars on how to style the timeless pairs for winter. Some main takeaways? They offer an effortlessly laidback look when worn with sleek trousers and a puffer jacket, and can even work with midi dresses, too. Keep in mind that while the brand’s classic styles aren’t designed for trudging through snow, the label does offer winterized versions of its pairs, with features like fully waterproof uppers and slip-resistant outsoles.
