Okay, so I’ve been wanting to try out the Doc Martens and jeans look for a while. I finally grabbed a pair of classic 1460s, and here’s how it went down.
Picking the Jeans
First, I had to figure out which jeans to wear. This was harder than I thought! I tried on, like, a million pairs.
- Skinny Jeans: I tried these first. They definitely showed off the boots, but I felt a little… constricted.
- Straight Leg Jeans: These were better. I rolled them up a bit at the bottom to show the whole boot. I felt this gave a pretty classic look.
- Boyfriend Jeans: These were surprisingly cool! I cuffed them a couple of times, and it gave this relaxed, edgy vibe.
I ended up going with the straight-leg jeans. They felt the most “me” and seemed like a good starting point.
Breaking in the Docs
Everyone says Docs need breaking in, and boy, were they right. The first day, I just wore them around the house. I felt a little stiff at first, but after the day, I felt better.
The next day, I took a short walk. I got a little rubbing on my heels, so I put on some thicker socks. That helped a lot.
I kept wearing them for short periods, gradually increasing the time. After about a week, they started to feel way more comfortable.
Styling the Look
I have try different tops to find best one:
- T-shirt and a leather jacket.
- A big sweater.
- button-down shirt.
Honestly, they all worked pretty well! The Docs and jeans combo is surprisingly versatile.
The Final Verdict
I’m totally into this look! It’s comfortable, a little bit edgy, and feels really classic. It took some effort to break in the boots, but it was totally worth it. I think I’ll be wearing this combo a lot!
