Dr Martens Liverpool One Store Part 2 - The Clothes!

Thursday 24 July 2014

So this is part 2 of my Dr Martens Liverpool One store visit, and this time I'm talking CLOTHES! You may be surprised that Dr Martens also has such a wide range of clothes and accessories to compliment their famous footwear, and it's pretty darn awesome. Check out what I found instore . . .

Beautiful leather bags and purses in classic black, cherry red and brown, starting at £115. Like the boots, we're encouraged to wear these in to make them look even better! I don't know about you, but I love the idea of being able to relax with an expensive bag instead of wrapping it in cotton wool?!

Cute tshirt dresses with dip hems, the perfect summer look with any DM shoes! This one is £40 and has a cut out skull pattern to the front, LOVE.

This Agyness Deyn hula print was a standout for me, and is repeated throughout her line on dresses, tees and bags!

Loved this skulls and roses print found on a tee, so clever, take a good look and find the Reaper!

Probably my second fave piece, this Longline Rib Shirt (£60) was to die for and could easily be styled up in so many different ways.

This classic tartan dress was my fave piece, and apparently it's everyone's fave, as Siobhain told me that they are constantly selling out and having to reorder! The tartan style gets a design makeover every season but the Dr Martens tartan dress is fast becoming the clothes version of the 1460 boot, here to stay!

How cute is this mini satchel?! I actually think I like this size better than the standard size!

Obvs I had to try something on (p.s. the changing room is HUGE!), so I nabbed the tartan dress and said mini satchel for a dressing room selfie. The dress was SO nice, I can totally get why it's so popular. It's made of a lightweight brushed cotton material and the cut and length is just perf. I usually shy away from dresses that cut at the waist because they don't really flatter my top heavy shape but this looked so cute! I'm wearing an XL which is a UK16, so I think it ran a little small because I'm generally a 12 on the bottom and 14 on top but you have to bear in mind that there is zero stretch and a button up, despite the waist being perfectly roomy. I imagine that if you were, for example, an 8 all over like Tara is (harumph - jealous face), then it would be true to size :)

The mini satchel looks perfect with it, I definitely want this whole outfit for next season! I'm wearing my new Dr Martens Alodie boots (£120) with it, so I just fell in love with the whole look!

Huge thanks to Siobhain, Jamie and the Dr Martens Liverpool One team for letting me roam free in the store for an hour, I left with a new insight into the brand and how it fits into Liverpool style. If you're shopping in the city then you need to pop in! The clothes are a hidden treasure even if you're not a massive fan of the shoes, and if you're not a fan of the shoes (errr exsqueeze me, a baking powder, are you mental?!) I actually think you'll leave the store with a different view because the brand is so versatile and classically cool.

  3. I've always loved DM boots but not really looked too closely at their bags and clothes before, but this post has definitely opened my eyes :) I LOVE the dress and mini satchel, such a good combination!

  5. I bloody love that ribcage shirt! The tartan dress is a beauty too, I love that it looks like a darker more gruniger tartan than the usual bright red you see too. Totally agree with you about expensive shoes & bags as well, that's why my one & only handbag splurge was my Balenciaga, cos I knew I wouldn't be too scared to use it cos I knew it'd just get better & better with each use!
