The sun has finally entered the chat after a frigid winter (yes, even in L.A.), and I'm finally getting my personality back. I'm embracing the warm weather in so many ways: going on walks, alfresco dinners, and most importantly, shopping for my sunny-day wardrobe—because what else would a girl like me do? First up on the list is a new pair of sandals. And I'm not talking about just any new pair. I'm picky. I need something chic, durable, and comfortable. Luckily, Dr. Martens checks all of those boxes. The brand's newest arrivals are everything. There are nods to the '90s, rugged leather, iconic yellow stitching, and platform soles. The Wrenlie, Laketen, and Josef styles have brought out the indecisive Libra in me, so I'm getting all three. Keep reading to see what the hype is all about.
If you've been on the fence about buying the fisherman-style sandal that It girls, celebrities, and editors have been wearing, this is your sign to do it. The Wrenlie style was pulled from the Dr. Martens '90s archives and made fresh for 2024. I love the idea of pairing it with baggy cargo pants for a more casual look, but I'd also throw it on with a frilly sock and a dress for a feminine touch. No matter how I wear this sandal, I know my DMs will be flooded the minute I post a photo.
If you want more of that ‘90s vibe, the Laketen Mule just so happens to be another style in Dr. Martens mule rotation.. The stacked sole and iconic yellow welt stitch are just perfection. It's a no-fuss pick that's not only ridiculously cool (can we take a moment for the chunky buckle?) but also versatile. You can wear it as a slip-on or loop the strap around your heel for maximum support.
Nothing says summer like an easy slide sandal, and that's exactly what the Josef Slide is. I already know that as soon as these arrive in the mail, my husband will find them and demand I order him a matching pair. The two wide straps and grooved suede footbed are unmatched. They're so easy to style. Jeans, dresses, trousers—you name it, and it works with these sandals.
