Step Up the Holidays With Dr. Martens
Chelsea boots, classic flatforms, and more kick the holidays into high gear.
When it comes to the most festive time of the year, there are a few things you need: sugar, spice...and a great pair of shoes. A strong footwear game is required no matter your partying style. Naughty elf who likes to ring in the holidays out and about way past midnight? Definitely need 'em. Angelic type who prefers a silent night above all others? You still need shoes!
For decades, the end-all, be-all in terms of boots has belonged to one name: Dr. Martens. Docs are beloved for their ~perrrrrfect~ blend of form and function: A pair looks good with almost anything in your closet, but they'll never be too precious.
But beyond the b-word, DMs also plays in the world of flatforms and Mary Janes, two non-boot silhouettes that can go toe to toe with the tough guys. (Never, ever turn your back on a pair of Docs.)
So if you're starting to plan out your holiday looks, think feet-first. The new collection has something for everyone (and every outfit obligation on your calendar). Whether it's a polished heeled boot, velvet Mary Janes, or a modern take on the original DMs classic, your closet is about to get a lot jollier (not to mention cooler).
The most polished Chelsea we've ever seen, this chunky heeled version will look good with beat-up jeans while you're doing last-minute shopping, and then black tights and an extra-ultra mini come midnight. Meanwhile, signature yellow stitching and the DMs pull tab give it proper street cred.
If you're a big believer in not messing with anything that's not broken, well, this OG style might be your new best boot friend. It's pretty darn close to the original icon and will add style to anything in your closet. This version features a slightly chunkier platform.
Classy up top and tough down below, this flatform knee-high is the boot to grab if you want to be a little bit sweet and salty throughout the holidays. Luxe waxy leather and a side tab give rich-equestrian vibes, while the squared-off toe definitely sends "don't mess with my horse" energy. (And if that mix isn't your new-year style resolution, reconsider.)
For any festive days or nights where you're planning on being out and about in the chill, feet-first dressing is a genius move. These fuzzy lined boots are extra-cozy, and the gorgeous leather is water-resistant. Smart and tough? Name a better combo.
If you've been ignoring the Mary Jane trend because it seems too sweet for you, well, you haven't met this pair. Even in super-lush velvet with a pretty brass buckle, Dr. Martens take still looks like it could kick in a door if required.
Too busy keeping everyone in line to do anything but slip on your shoes and go? Feel you. This slide has all the signature Dr. Martens elements (grooved sole, welt stitching), plus a warm fleece lining that will keep your feet nice and toasty while you're busy being in charge.
During the hectic holiday season, the smartest style pick might just be a boot that can go anywhere. Smooth black leather with a grooved platform sole does all that and more. Wear these babies with tights and a dress for dinner out, and your favorite pair of jeans everywhere else.
