STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: From Girly To Grunge

January 15th, 2015 at 2:00am

Women have always had the chance to up their fashion game into a mix of unisex clothing. This led to the unisex movement that began when artists like Rihanna and Miley Cyrus began wearing Jordan sneakers and baggy tees. This winter, it’s time to trade in your leather black boots for a more daring look by diving into the trend of Dr. Martens.

Dr. Martens are easy-to-wear shoes that can be paired with dark skinny jeans, a simple white T-shirt and a solid colored long, flowy cardigan or oversized flannel. Since Dr. Martens are a trend women have stolen from men, it’s important to pair the shoes with another unisex trend, an oversized men’s button-down or flannel. There is something about women pulling off menswear that makes them sexy because it adds an innovative and artsy twist.

Here, our Fashionista decided to pair her Dr. Martens with khaki-colored, baggy, slim fit jeans, with an oversized flannel and a dark gray parka with a knit infinity scarf to make for a perfect winter grunge look. Pairing these shoes with a shapeless shirt and skinny jeans or tights makes for an effortless look.

Every girl needs a couple of booties in her closet, and Dr. Martens are a good option. It is perfect for an edgy, grunge look. What’s great about these shoes is that if you still want to show off your girly style, you can pair a flirty dress with tights, different colored knee-high socks and Dr. Martens. Add a long, dark-colored cardigan, and you’re girly flare has just turned into a sexy grunge look. For the flirty dress, try a floral dress with black tights, gray over the knee socks and a burgundy cardigan for the perfect every day winter look.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Own your Dr. Martens, and wear them with pride because girls wear it so much better than men anyways.”
