- A good pair of construction boots make any outfit look edgy. Dr Martens are the quintessential classics. Affordable, fashionable, and super comfy! They are especially fabulous when worn with a frilly frock. Grunge lives on and I am SO here for it!!

My husband managed a doc marten shop for 5 years and maaaaaaan did I take advantage 🙈🙈 his favourites are a pair of 14 eyelet oxbloods from 1979 that were a present from a director, they're still in sensational condition. Absolutely unkillable
I’m 65 and will always rock my GREEN Doc’s.
You’re becoming my fashion encyclopedia. Not only your videos are full of great tips and layering ideas but are also enriched by all of your followers comments just to make it more entertained and useful. Thank you! We all love you ❤
enjoyed this one so much & I still wear the cherry shoes with my Cos dresses (at 64 yrs) 😄
At 22 years old, I've been much more warmer around styles and fashion and different 'aesthetics' than I was as a teenager. A lot of my aesthetics and styles come from academia (light, green, a little punk - all of them siblings of the Dark Academia umbrella I'm sure you've heard of). These kinds of styles my mom has happily indulged me in, with a good few thrift finds and even some of HER clothes she wore about my age in university! (Vests, sweaters and jackets especially. Love me a good vest.)
However, one style I DESPERATELY wanna indulge more into is what my friend described as 'Children's Book Protagonist for a Retro-Fantasy Sci-Fi Adventure.' (Think Labyrinth, ET, some Star Wars, Mork of 'Mork and Mindy' and Don Bluth movies.) I know one of the components for this style is inspired by glam rock, which is very much against my mom's grain. (As if I don't already own gold skinny jeans from when I was 14 and a vintage NEON BLUE LONG TRENCH from my grandmother.)
HOWEVER. Your look with the whisky-coloured duster? MWAH. You've finally (at least started to) convinced my mom that indulging in glam rock isn't as terrifying as she once thought. **Thank you.**
(We're still trying to find a middle ground regarding docs, haha. She didn't like the weight or having to break into the ones she had to wear for school. She's also not a big punk fan, but the fact we agreed on my first pair being cherry red velvet chelsea docs for Christmas? That's saying something beautiful.)
Cherry 🍒 red? Perfection!
I’ve been wearing Dr martens for 35 years. (First pair as a bday gift at 14) my faves are a pair of Victorian rose patterned canvas with pink satin ribbon laces.
Very much enjoying your videos. Thank you for reminding me that I can be myself and still dress age appropriate.
That gold velvet duster... omg I could JUST DIE!! 🤣✌️💕
Goodness, brought me back to the wonder days when I went to Fashion Industries High school and cut class to hang out in Washington square park with the punkers.
I am swooning over the sharp cut blazer. 😍
Oh boy, my first ever pair was a cherry red steel toe-capped pair (bought in one of the OG punk run DM shops in Camden Town, London). Wore them for 17 years before I got rid of them. I have a pair of black 1914 Triumphs from them that I've worn every winter for the last 8 years...I wear stompy boots with practically everything. Also, loved that final plaid dress. I happened to nab a similar shaped dress today in a charity shop, only in a blush toned leopard print. It was £4.50, I HAD to, right?!
right!!
That whiskey duster moment put me on the floor but that structured blazer had me on my knees first🥰🥰🥰🥰
I bought my first pair in college back in 1989 from a small punk shop by Washington Square Park. It was the first time I’d spent a lot of money on a clothing item ($60 I think, maybe less, which was a lot for this poor college student), used to wear them clubbing and then one day I got rid of them, just like that. If I could go back in time and talk some sense into me. I wish I still had those fantastic indestructible boots. You look fabulous in every damn outfit!
Love that last dress with the boots
Love the denim and leather jacket with burgundy Docs!!!
My forest green NaNa Dr Martens from 1992 are one of my most prized possessions.
…not to mention how darn comfortable Docs are 👍
Oh Carla I want your wardrobe,the blazer with those exquisitely set sleeves and the velvet duster and trews,with the docs. What more can I say.
I love doc martens!! Always wanted it since grade school but I couldn’t afford it and now that im 40 I thought i was to old to rock one. I was wrong and now i have a pair. So happy with it.
You have reminded me how much I loved Doc Martens back then. There were too much money for me as a teen. As an adult now, you really have me thinking of getting some now! 💜
🙌
No cherry! Ox Blood Carla, Ox Blood 😁
Doc martens are an addiction. I have 5 pair and I still want more!
They are fabulous shoes and are worth every penny!
Yesss!!! Thank you Carla.The Doc Marten has been through generations. The same pair..😆.
Side note. So have the Bass penny loafer.
Ooooh, I know I’m sorta kinda partial here but, this was an absolute favorite styling ep. for me!!! 😍😍😍
My dark green platform docs are truly my prized possession in life
You took me back to when I was 14 and started wearing DMs. I’m now 46 and still wear them. I introduced them to my daughter when she was 12, now she can’t be without a few pairs.
Love the blouse, the pants, the duster, the jeans and HELLO that BLAZER! Give me five and I wear them the rest of my live!😍 Seriously, I'm searching the internet for eternity to get that blazer. The blazer with the jeans and those cherry martins would be my go to for a lot of things❤
Every outfit is my favourite 😍😍
Me: Not being bias because I am British but, I too have many pairs of Doc Martens and I just love em❤❤❤💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🏴👍🏾
I have a classic pair of black Docs, and now I feel almost desperate for your whole glam rock ensemble.
i love your take on doc martens. remember also that there was/is a lot of important cultural critique, enviornmental activism, and political discourse in the punk scene too. we were “kinda like a street gang . . . with an analysis. “ -line from the movie “i killed andy warhol”
Your Glam Rock look is PERFECT 😍😍😍 exactly what I came for, as always Carla! Your posts brighten my day.
You’re awesome!
I would literally wear everything in this video. This is my style! That velvet coat however..🤤 YES PLEASE
Love Docs!! 2023 will be a Doc year for me 🥾❤️!
So agree with the Kurt Cobain comment
Carla Rockmore if I love you one more time 🤪🤩🤩🤩
I love my Docs :) I have the fuchsia coloured ones that are ankle high, which have the black heart on the top. Looooove theeemmm!
Sorry to have to pick you up on this but Glam Rock happened in the late 60’s/early 70’s, Punk happened later in the 70’s/early 80’s, before the New Romantic era. I worked for DM’s for 15 years through their heyday in the late 80’s, 90’s and into the early 00’s, they were the best company to work for.
ps…OMG those brocade trousers (sorry pants) are just too beautiful!!
i never related to people that said their style icon is someone. NOW I DO
I have blue ones myself!!! A tad to narrow for my feet, but so worth it!!! 🤘
Amazing twist to the Dr Martens👏🏼👏🏼
Free in the mosh pit 😂😂😂😂 gold
You have the most amazing closet and the absolute best clothes ❤️
Excellent advice, you rendered these heavy boys shoes to delicate fancy happy ones.
I love how you don't keep your self in one style genre. I don't either. Lol!! I don't either. Jeans, skirts, a little goth, a little punk, elegant, classy.. Although, most of my wardrobe is thrifted. I love your closet so much. I will be envious forever!! If had had been able to follow my fashion design dreams...
I love my doc martens. Especially my NaNanas.
I just love you Carla. You make my day🎉
Best boots 👢 ever
Please do video similar but with low oxford styles? Please 🙏🙏🙏
Def gotta keep the arms free in the pit! 💪🏾🤩
This is so me!! ❤😁
I’ve never owned doc martin and hardly even know what they are. You don’t really see them in shoes stores these days.
tHaT BlAZeR....OmG 💜
That black blazer is everything and I need to buy it now. I tried clicking on the link and scrolled through your general page but couldn’t find it. Help!
any suggestion on how to help break them in????? I had them in the 90s, they were so beat up I finally had to give them up. Now, I have a new pair and I just can't break them in like my old ones!!!! AHHHHHHHHH, Help! Anything I can slather on there to help make that leather break in?
I bought my first pair of docs this winter from Marshall. They're White.
Oxblood not cherry
I bought my Doc Martens in November and within the first like week of wearing them, I managed to gouge a hole in the leather. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ she lives wild I guess
Combat boots
❤❤❤
Not my style but I can appreciate the look.
You forgot the mods ,skinheads in 60 s
Since Doc Marten moved their production out of Northamptonshire the quality of their boots has crashed through the floor, which is just incredibly disappointing. Luckily the original manufacturing company, Solovair still makes boots that are basically identical to the original, extremely high quality Docs using the same machinery! If you want a "real" Doc Marten boot these days then you have to go for Solovair.
How do I get those earring?????
you can buy them! DM me and I'll send you pics xoxo...or email to carla@carlarockmore.com. ❤❤
Then Gen z grabbed them in the late 80’s early 90’s. I love all my docs.
Can't wear mine anymore...iam 70 and I need flexibility not happy
It is me? I find Doc Martin shoes stiff, hard and uncomfortable.
