The combat boots trend is back and my inner 90s child could not be more excited! Adrian and I were talking about how we both owned 2-3 pairs of Dr. Martens back in our middle school years and that they were our first major shoe splurge at the time. I still remember how I’d wear the boots everyday to school, feeling tough and thinking I was super cool 😆 — anyone else?
If only I’d saved my Dr. Martens from those days (I had the ‘1460’ style in both brown and black) as the style is back! I’m all about a comfy pair of boots these days and while I couldn’t quite justify purchasing another pair of Dr. Martens boots just yet (these are on my wishlist!), I picked up this super similar pair from Steve Madden and am obsessed. The lace-up style is perfect for giving that tough, edgy look and while it’s hard to see, this style actually has an inside zipper too, making them great for quick and easy on/off! Plus, there’s a mini 0.75″ platform along with 1.75″ heel that gives me just a subtle bit of added height and makes my legs look just a teensy bit longer (I’ll take it!). At 15% off and free shipping right now, be sure to get a pair while your size is in stock!!

Combat Boots Trend
When it comes to pairing outfits, combat boots are surprisingly more versatile than you might think! You can’t go wrong with a simple pair of black jeans like I did here, but I’m also excited to style mine with skirts and shorts once the weather warms up. It’s a great way to toughen up a look and the juxtaposition of edgy and feminine is such a chic combination!
I also added in this teddy coat and I just love the pop of plaid that gives it a preppy vibe. It’s incredibly soft and warm, making for a great layering piece as we’re still in the thick of winter weather here!

These boots are so cute. I’m glad they’ve made a comeback. I don’t own any currently, but maybe that will change this year!
My brother is 12 years older than me so I remember he and his girlfriend wearing their Docs when I was young back in the 90s! It’s so crazy how they’re back and in style – just like so many cool things.
I used to wear my combat boots all the time!! love that they are making a comeback – I need to get a new pair!
I’m glad that something so durable, cute, and long-lasting is coming back. And I am totally having a moment with that coat! It’s adorable!
Combat boots were my jam in the 90’s! I wore them to high school pretty much daily. Now my girls love to wear them!
I am so happy combat boots are back. They are so comfy and easy to wear. I wish I kept all my Dr Martins too from back in the day!
I didn’t think I would ever see Dr. Martens come back as hard as it did, but I love how the trend has evolved! xoxo, Sarah
I haven’t owned a pair of combat boots in YEARS but I’m so excited that they’re back in style! Love how you styled yours.

First of all, I have to comment on these pictures, because they are some of my favorites EVER. You got so creative and super cute with these, and the edits look fantastic as well. Beautiful tones! As far as the shoes – and entire outfit goes – I’m in love! Doc Martens were always on my wishlist growing up, but I never got a pair. It’s kinda fun knowing they’re back in style again (or maybe that they never truly went out?) because it’s a good reason for me to finally snag a pair – or something similar, like yours!
I love a good pair of combat boots! I’m hoping to treat myself to a pair int he spring 🙂

This is a super cute look, and the shoes totally make it. I never wore combat boots in the 90s (I was more of the jelly sandals type myself) but I love to see the style come back around.
you styled them so cute! I love when fashion makes a comeback!
I love how you styled these boots! That teddy coat looks super cozy and cute on you!
I guess combat boots are in. I never knew how to wear them but this gives me inspiration.
I LOVE combat boots! I have a pair of Dr. Martens and love them (and I want more!). I love pairing them with day and night outfits (depending on the occasion).
I’m not sure I could pull off this trend, but they look so cute on you!
LOVE that look!!! I think I would pair it with something super girly like a baby doll dress!
I don’t know that I could pull the combat boots off but it sure is cute on you and others.
I am all about combat boots! You’re right, they’re so versatile. I remember how popular these were in the 90’s. It’s so cool to see a trend from your youth circle back around.
These dresses absolutely stunning. Such a great cheap digitizing dear.
Have a fantastic weekend to you.
I don’t think I’d be able to pull these off but you nailed it with this look! The boots look perfect with that cozy plaid jacket!
