2025 Marks the Only Time It's Okay to Be a Snake
The Lunar Calendar isn’t just about moon phases — it’s a cosmic cheat sheet for understanding the ebb and flow of fortune, personality, and style. And according to its corresponding Chinese zodiac, 2025 is the year of the snake.
Very on theme then, is this special collection by Dr. Martens: The storied footwear brand's chosen to commemorate serpent season with a gorgeously reptilian revamp of some of their most- beloved bestsellers, including the inonic boot, classic lace up shoes, and their signature backpack.
Before I send you off shopping though, let it be known that this year is ruled by the Wood element, too. Unlike Western astrology, the Chinese zodiac has an additional fifth element, and it is, along with the twelve animal signs, attributed per year (of birth), rather than specific dates.
Professing months of growth and creativity ahead, the Wood-governed 2025 is yours for the taking, even more so if you're a snake born in year 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, or, of course, 2025 (though I doubt you'd be reading this if you were).
