These Might Just Be the Most Punk Dr. Martens Ever Released

Dr. Martens boots – or as they’re better known, Docs – long been the uniform of angsty, rebellious youth. Since their inception in 1960, the uniform of counterculturally-inclined youths changed significantly, but you can pretty much guarantee that a pair of tight-laced Dr. Martens boots will be planted firmly on their feet.

Initially valued by working-class Brits for their steel-toed durability, the boot’s appeal shifted in the mid-’70s towards disenfranchised punks looking to differentiate themselves from the status quo. Every member of The Clash wore Dr. Martens, and so did Sid Vicious, the Sex Pistols’ volatile bassist. Vicious’ former roommate Viv Albertine of The Slits once told Dazed, “He got me into so many fights, he was the reason I started wearing Dr. Martens.”

Today, Dr. Martens is launching what may be their most ‘punk’ style yet: Sex Pistols-themed Dr. Martens. Yes, you heard that right. The punk band active from 1975-1978 is the inspiration behind a new line of the ball-busting boots; a convergence that seems so natural we’re surprised it hasn’t happened already. (Especially considering Johnny Rotten’s well-documented predilection for filthy lucre.) The five styles, available online now, will definitely supplicate any lingering teen angst.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
