Black Boots That Look Different Enough From The Pair You Already Have

Platform Chelsea (Dr. Martens, $180)

These platform Doc Martens are inches above the competition. Pair them with some black jeans and a t-shirt for a casual ‘fit that, to the untrained eye, will look exactly like if you wore black jeans and a t-shirt with the black boots you currently own. But your expert eyes know your boots don’t have the classic Docs yellow stitching: A detail that justifies spending nearly $200 on another pair of black Chelsea boots. They’re different!!
