It's really just another day when we spot a casual '90s trend [1] on the rise. The latest in our series just happens to be really, really easy to wear. Think of this as the classic grunge "foundation" of your look — pull out your Dr. Martens brogues [2], style them with socks (to be SEEN!) and complete with outfit essentials that speak to your style. Whether it's crisply cuffed jeans à la Hailey Bieber or a ladylike pleated skirt like model and influencer Imani Randolph, there's room to play with this combination. In other words, you don't always have to wear your Docs with straight leg printed trousers [3]. In fact, someone like The Weeknd shows us how creepers can even be all glammed up [4] for an event. Ahead, check out some of our go-to inspiration for recreating this look at home, and shop some pieces to add to your wardrobe, just in case you're lacking in the "Docs & Socks" department.
