What is its price?
For some people, Doc Martens boots may seem a little expensive. This is because they are created from high-quality materials.

How to style it?
1. Doc Martens with jeans
Although skinny jeans are a less common trend, they go hand in hand with the style of the boots Dr. Martens. And especially the skinny black jeans. Creating an all-black “base” outfit will elongate your body. And since boots with skinny jeans create a very slim silhouette, you’ll want to balance that with a fuller piece. You can opt for ripped jeans for a look inspired by the 90s and grunge culture.
The structure of ripped jeans adds depth to your outfit and balances out the bulk of the boots. If you want to add more flair to your look, pair dark ripped jeans with a loose tee and an oversized denim jacket on top. If you’re going for a more elegant finish, go for a skinny V-neck t-shirt and a cropped leather jacket. Tie a black belt around your waist to accentuate your figure and add more dimension to your look.
