Yes, men can wear Dr. Martens shoes to the office. Here's how.
By Landon Peoples Oct. 3, 2019 2:18 pm ET NEEDED: A PAIR of simple oxford shoes that are work-appropriate, but not so work-appropriate they’d look stodgy at the bar. An unexpected place to seek inspiration? Your high-school yearbook, where, in a black-and-white shot of the cool kids using the darkroom, you might spy a pair of classic, black “1461” Dr. Martens oxfords. Today, those shoes have been updated in a subtle, matte, black-on-black variation without the telltale yellow stitching.
Born in 1961, the round-toe oxford was Dr. Martens’s follow-up to its iconic boot. The oxford was conceived as “a simplistic, durable option for the working class,” said Sam Breese, VP of Product Merchandising at the British footwear brand. But like many well-designed workwear basics, Dr. Martens were adopted by a young artistic class as well. They became a staple in hard-driving music circles on both sides of the Atlantic, from the punk and ska eras through Britpop and grunge.
A notably counterculture shoe, the Dr. Martens oxford hasn’t traditionally been considered business footwear. But as fashion leans toward a chunkier shoe, and workplaces become more casual, this $120 oxford with its extra-thick PVC sole, treaded like a Timberland boot, is an affordable addition to a considered work uniform. New York and Paris-based stylist Tom Van Dorpe posited, “The 1461 is what you’d use to express yourself or stand out—or turn your look into something more personal.
Mr. Van Dorpe also claimed this oxford “works for any age and circumstance, from a rave or school or work.” There may be no rave on your horizon, but chances are there’s some work.Copyright ©2019 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8
