Every Fashion Person Is Obsessed With These $175 Doc Martens
Dr. Marten (or Doc Marten) boots have been a wardrobe staple for the fashion lovers since rockstar Pete Townshend of The Who wore a pair on stage in the 1960s. In the decades following, the boots, in their various forms became a symbol of counterculture and were worn by punks, metalheads, and grunge-lovers. Now in the late 2010s the boots have become a must-have for fashion people and celebrities in their street style. They even hit the runways during fashion week at shows like Snow Xue Gao and Vetements.
In 2018, as the love of Doc Marten style reached a fever pitch, there was one style in particular that ever style-focused Instagram page seemed to feature: platforms. Formally known as the "Jadon" boots, these heavy-duty kicks feature a two-inch platform and a high and tight ankle. They work with pretty much every outfit from a mini dress to wide-leg jeans. Celebrities like Bella Hadid and Miley Cyrus are regular purveyors of the trend but that only scratches the surface of the style inspo we've seen with these lately. Ahead see some of our favorite ways to wear platform Doc Martens and cop a pair for yourself.
