It's time to dig your Doc Martens out of your closet
Embrace '90s grunge with a pair of Doc Martens
It seems as if punk rock is having an influence on fashion in a big way through Doc Marten combat boots. Dr Martens (a.k.a. Doc Martens) never go out of style, and celebrities including Olivia Rodrigo and Addison Rae are only reaffirming this.
You almost can't have a '90s fashion trend without some form of combat boot associated with it. It seems like Olivia's nostalgic fashion is taking major influence from the 1990s, but she's not the only one. Along with Addison, Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox—a.k.a. one of our fave celeb combos—are also adding the workboot style to their everyday outfits.
As we continue to infuse our style with pieces from our childhood, the '90s grunge look is competing with the surge in 2000s fashion. So, if you're eager to keep up with the current trends, it's officially time to put on a pair of Doc Martens—the original punk-rock boot.

Olivia is serving us another grunge-esque look which she debuted during her Sour Prom. Toughening up her '80s-inspired metallic blue dress, the platform buckled Doc Martens keep this look the right side of throwback.

While Olivia has quickly become a '90s style icon, Addison used her Doc Martens to add a more punk touch to her elegant corset and casual denim combo. She also included an essential accessory for any 1990s-inspired look: a pair of rounded rectangle sunglasses.
