Today, let’s talk about the very famous Doc Martens and how to elegantly style them with jeans!

Boots from Dr Martens are well-known. The iconic 1460 silhouette, named after the year the company was founded in 1960, was first used as a work boot. However, rockstar Pete Townsend of The Who popularised leather lace-up wear by the end of the decade, making it a staple of British working-class fashion.

Dr. Martens boots took over British culture in the 1970s, gaining special popularity among the “punks.” Dr. Martens boots and leather jackets became the go-to uniform for the ’90s grunge scene after they were introduced in the United States.

For me personally, Emma Chamberlain was the one who introduced me to Doc Martens. She literally wore them with every outfit, increasing their popularity and trend among Generation Z. But if you’re still confused, then you’ve come to the right place.

Docs have evolved from a working boot in 1945 to a shoe of choice for punk rockers in the 1970s and 1980s, becoming a staple of mainstream street fashion.

Dr. Martens now carries a variety of shoes, including loafers and sandals, in addition to its original 8-eye boots. Additionally, they can be seen almost everywhere. Doc Martens has made a name for themselves among Instagram influencers and supermodels alike. The versatile nature of the boots helps them balance different styles with finesse.

These days, nearly everyone wears “docs.” The original goal of the company was to create shoes that could be used as a means of self-expression. This idea is still alive and well today. Doc Martens can be worn with almost any outfit for almost any occasion because of their straightforward, timeless appearance.

Additionally, they are one of the most adaptable and long-lasting shoes available. Hence, their burgeoning popularity is the least surprising.

There are a few important things to keep in mind before we begin our lesson on how to wear Doc Martens. First, don’t cover up your boots! You’ll want to flaunt them and wear them with pride. However, the issue of how to wear Doc Martens with jeans remains. Worry not, I’ve got you covered. 

Here are 6 ways to wear Doc Martens with jeans:

Dark Wash Jeans With Oxfords

Choose the classic Dr. Martens’ Oxford for a more polished look. These loafer styles will complement dark-wash jeans. Both the tassel-adorned Adrian Smooth Leather loafers and the glossy Vegan 1461 Oxfords from the company are excellent options to add to your collection. These black air-cushioned oxford shoes restore and rejuvenate without polish or shine thanks to their faux-leather upper. Aren’t these classic pieces to add to your shoe collection?

Jean Shorts With Ankle Boots

Wear your favourite Doc Martens ankle boots with your favourite denim shorts. This is a very cute look to put together; you can pair it with an oversized tee for a relaxed look or a structured blazer for a chic look. You can add sheer socks or tights for colder weather.

Skinny Jeans With Chelsea Boots

I know you’ve worn your skinny jeans to death now! And, of course, you can pair Doc Martens with your favourite skinny jeans! For a more conventional appearance, try wearing skinny jeans with Dr. Martens Chelsea boots. You can cuff them or tuck them into your jeans, depending on your preference. If that’s your thing, throw in some fun socks as well.

Relaxed Fit With Lace-Up Boots

If you are not afraid to draw some attention and turn heads, then these lace-up boots are for you! Pair your favourite mom jeans with these boots, and you’re good to go. Your outfit will stand out even more if you wear a pair of stark white boots.

Ripped Jeans 

If you have an edgy vibe and love wearing ripped jeans, then try wearing these Doc Martens with your ripped jeans. For a more daring appearance, try pairing ripped jeans with this remix of the timeless Original Docs boot by Dr Martens, which will further spice up your look. They are made of softer Pisa premium leather and are mounted on a 1.5-inch sole.

Don’t these look just amazing? God, I absolutely love these pairs of Doc Martins. They might be my favourites!

Cuffed Jeans 

Another style of jeans I absolutely adore is cuffed jeans. I think it looks so cute and chic. But how are you going to wear Doc Martens with these jeans?

Here’s how:

When the jeans are cuffed at the hem for a full-on retro-inspired look, edgy platforms are a great match for cropped jeans. We suggest trying the Rometty Platform Chelsea Boots or the Jadon Smooth Leather Platform Chelsea Boots, both of which have an aggressive platform sole.
