North West Wears Doc Martens Better Than Adults Do

by Erin Mayer

If you weren't jealous of Baby West's killer wardrobe already, just wait until you see this latest style snap. On a recent trip to LAX with Mama Kim and Papa Kanye, North West was spotted in Doc Martens looking considerably cooler than you ever did when you wore them as an angsty thirteen year old.

The progeny of the #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple, who has already modeled for Chanel at the ripe old age of one, rocked her Docs with a sleeveless black top and black-and-white striped pants (think toddler Hot Topic). Even though she missed the decade by 13 years, NW knows the '90s are back and better than ever. She was obviously styled by her pink-hating parents, but there's no denying she's about the chicest baby around. According to The Cut, North was also carrying a glittery YSL cross body bag. And I thought I was cool when I finally got a Coach bag in the seventh grade.

I guess its pretty easy to look that put together when you get carried around all day and don't even have to put energy in to speaking let alone, like... having a job. But still... I'm a little jealous of North West in this outfit. Especially the Docs. They're so tiny and cute! That's why I've rounded up some more traditionally "adult" shoes that we'd love to see some stylish infants wear. Everything is better in miniature!
