Dr. Martens

Is your wardrobe deficient in a pair of Dr. Martens? Consider this our style prescription. The British brand refines its signature silhouettes every season to keep things fresh while upholding its heritage, but it's impossible to go wrong with its classic chunky boots for men and women. In fact, they're such a symbol of style that they're referred to by their creator's name alone (and "DMs" for short).

You will have heard of the classic Doc Martens lace-up boots – but have you ever considered a pair of the brand's Chelsea boots? Boasting a sleeker silhouette than its predecessor, the comfortable style is the one for when you want to pull on and go, thanks to the elasticated side gores. Of course, the logo tag and the yellow stitching that trims the chunky lug sole are two design signatures that remain ever present, no matter which boot you choose.

Dr. Martens leather boots are among the most widely worn, but that doesn't mean the label's footwear is short on other materials and finishes. Opt for a classic pair in vegan leather, or try some lined with faux fur to keep your feet warm in sub-zero temperatures. If it's pure practicality you're after, choose lace-ups in wipe-clean patent leather or water-resistant waxed canvas, ideal for countryside yomps.
