Spotlight: John Henric and Dr Martens

When it comes to appearance, so many of us are guilty of not always thinking through the bigger picture of personal identity and up rushing the process of building a look. When you shop with this mentality, you may well have plenty of individually appearing pieces, but you’re likely to have trouble putting them together in a way that works. Now, a good way to combat this is to stick with particular brands. Once you’ve settled on an aesthetic, these brands will provide you with items that have the same feel to them and will work well with your wider wardrobe. So, here are a couple of different brands that I wanted to spotlight that you might want to consider trying out…

John Henric

Now, the majority of brands out there focus on staple wardrobe pieces. Some brands like Levi’s and Wrangler will focus on denim jeans. Some brands like Nike will focus on gym and sportswear. But there are relatively few brands out there that have flourished through their focus on accessories. But John Henric UK is one of them! They will be able to provide you with all of the accessories that you could possibly need, from cufflinks to ascot ties, scarves, suspenders, socks, bracelets, belts, and bags. Having all of these items in one place will allow you to quickly put together different accessories that will draw your final outfit together.

Dr Martens

Every fashion conscious individual should have at least one pair of Dr Martens lying in their wardrobe. These boots make no issue of hiding that they were originally made as workwear for the working classes. Every pair has a patented AirWair sole, which provides increased support and is also oil resistant. They are also notedly hard wearing – when you buy one pair, they’ll often last you a lifetime. Perhaps the best thing about Doc Martens, however, is their rich cultural history. During the 1960s, they were adopted by various youth subcultures as a means of taking pride in working-class roots. Over the years, numerous alternative subcultures have adopted the look, and their rebellious undertones are still going strong today! Now, the originals are the traditional eight hole boot. They originally came in black and cherry red. But nowadays there are all sorts of colours and designs available. From plain matte colours to gloss, glitter, and even special collaboration designs incorporating cartoon characters and notable public figures. There are also various other designs available, with short ankle boots, thigh high boots, wedges, heels, and a whole host more. So, no matter what your personal preferences or needs, this company is bound to make a boot that will prove perfect for you. Make sure to find the right fit and remember that the company now also offer vegan options that entirely cut animal cruelty out of the equation when it comes to looking good.

These are just two brands that are easily accessible and can add a little je ne sais quoi to your aesthetic. So, check them out, try them on, and incorporate them into your look!
