Ostentatious: Workwear
Steven Onoja: I understands the importance of investing in quality items, but that doesn’t mean they have to look pristine. It proof that well-made clothing is built to be resilient and looks better over time with a little worn-in character. One of my favorite boot designed by Dr martens I feel comfortable rocking this “winter”. Dr. Martens began producing some footwear again in England, in the Cobb’s Lane Factory in Wollaston. These products are part of the “Vintage” line, which the company advertises as being made to the original specs.

“This is a bit of a work wear look for me. As a matter of fact I wear this out almost every day.”
The toughness of this rings goes well with this outfit, it was giving to me by my friend Samuel and he also the took this photo how awesome can that be, thanks bro. It’s a really wearable piece.
I’m not a big fan of mens bracelets, mainly because they’ve become a craze and it’s gone too far. I see guys wearing dozens of different wrist wraps in multiple colors and fabrics…it’s too much.
I love how Dr Martens boot looks are often drawn from a specific inspiration – workwear, professorial, vintage, etc.
It’s a common trait among designers I think.

love the backpack and your camo piece love it
Love the Docs! Your outfit’s awesome.
Clean look, I recently picked up a pair of the re-invented Docs myself.
SHOES are a weakness of mine and nothing beats a good pair of utilitarian shoes. I myself am partial to black doc martin lace up shoes and wore them as a uniform through most of the 80’s in Sydney with various mini skirts. They are good for people who walk long distances. As a child I was forced by my Mother to wear sensible black lace ups to school even though all I ever wanted was patent leather party shoes with flower designs punched in tiny eyelets on them.
The patent leather party shoes never emerged but strangely I have developed a life long liking for sensible black lace ups……I also like lace up ankle boots and have pair of brown ones I bought from “Minnie Cooper” here in Auckland New Zealand that are quite Victorian in appearance and design that I have worn into a state of total disrepair that to me only heightens their beauty and interest value.
Love seeing your blog. See mine at cherrybishop.co.nz. Havn’t added much lately. Too busy doing clothing production and other sundry things this week.
Cheers Cherry
