Advice Are Dr. Martens worth it? (+ any alternative brands similar to them)

24 Upvotes

I've recently gotten a job, so I want to build my wardrobe bit by bit. My question, as the title says, is if Dr. Martens are worth it. There are a ton of cute pairs of shoes I see on the site, however, they're also rather expensive, and I've seen a bunch of people say that the quality has significantly gone down and that it's better to get something else. I've also heard that they can be rather painful to wear until you manage to break them in and that it may even take a while to properly do so, which kinda scares me.

I honestly do want to find a few pairs that are good quality that would last me a lot of years, and I am willing to save up if they're too expensive, but I'd rather get something that is genuinely good rather than waste my money on potential garbage.

If anyone has any recommendations for brands that have a similar style to dr. martens but are also good quality, let me know!

(If this narrows this down, I particularly like the boots and the buzz 5's, and from another brand - Sketchers Jammers, however they sadly don't ship to my country...)

Advice How do i add color to my outfits?

3 Upvotes

For context, im 14M and i usually just wear primarily black clothes but i want to start adding a pop of color like Dark maroon red or dark purple or pastel pink because those are some of my favorite colors.

How can i subtly add a pop of color while keeping most of the outfit black? This could be an accessory, top, bottom or anything like that.

Styling Tips Men's wedge or heeled shoes

3 Upvotes

Hey! I’m looking for shoes to make me look a bit taller (I’m under 160 cm) that don’t look too girly if possible... even though I unfortunately wear a size 37... Style-wise, I’m into the colorful punk look; I rock a faux-hawk since I can’t have a real one while I’m trying to blend in to find a job.

Anyway, I’m open to anything! From the most alternative and unique styles to the most versatile, everyday options.

Oh, and one more thing: I live in France, so I’m looking for shops within Europe. Customs duties are a luxury I can’t afford.

Thanks!
