Styling Doc Martens Sandals

Have you ever had a closet item that you absolutely love, but have no idea how to wear? For me, it’s my Doc Martens sandals. These are the Blaire Sandal, and I’m obsessed with them. They’re comfortable, unique, and they have a platform! Basically, they’re the definition of a fun shoe. The trouble is, sometimes they feel a little too fun, and I have no idea what to wear with them. The answer? Anything. Everything! When drafting up this post, I thought a lot about styling Doc Martens sandals. The result is an easily put together outfit that feels cool and showcases the shoe.

I love these shoes with a dress, but I think my go-to way of styling Doc Martens sandals is with a wide leg pant. There’s something about the silhouette of a wide leg pant with a platform sandal. It’s chef’s kiss. I’ve also added a vintage T-shirt to lean into that grunge Dr. Martens aesthetic. The result is a casual, cool, outfit that allows the sandal to shine.

On the occasions when I do want to style a dress with these shoes, I go for a midi dress in a neutral color. Usually in black, but sometimes in white. I love the midi length with these shoes. It gives the perfect contrast between the long, dainty, dress and the big chunky sandal. And we all know how much I love contrast!

Styling these shoes has given me new inspiration, and I can’t wait to wear them on repeat for the rest of the summer!

How do you feel about a chunky sandal? Yay or Nay?
