It's no secret that the Y2K resurgence has ruled the past few years, but simultaneously, fashion people are turning to the '90s for a bit of inspo too. The decade popularized some of our staple footwear brands, Vans, Dr. Martens, Converse, and of course, Timberland. Gen Z may not be as knowledgeable about the origins of this popular shoe brand, so to enlighten, Timberland started as a durable workboot but became known in fashion during the rise of the hip-hop and rap scene. Icons such as Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac, along with groups like Wu-Tang Clan, were often spotted in the shoes, and quickly they became synonymous with hip-hop and New York style.
The shoe remains just as relevant today, with celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, and Pharrell often sporting the boots. Most recently, the brand has taken on several collabs with brands ranging from Jimmy Choo to Kith, so you're sure to see the shoe everywhere in upcoming months. With durability and a waterproof exterior, we can't forget that they are the perfect boot for the winter season.
Perhaps you're looking to branch out from the classic 6" Work Boot style. Luckily, the brand has broadened its selection to include types from Chelsea boots to even heels; yes, you heard that right. So whether you're looking for the perfect pair of black ankle boots to pair with a lace slip dress or a fashionable shoe to sport on your next hike, you're sure to find a way to incorporate the shoe into your personal style.
If you're looking for a new way to style your Timbs, are considering purchasing your first pair, or just need outfit ideas with combat boots, we've put together 10 fashion-forward ways to wear the shoes, no matter your taste.
