How to wear... Dungarees



The return of the dungaree is the latest fashion throwback, this time taking us all the way back to the 70’s. Dungarees and dungaree dresses have been spotted on many a stylish celebrity including Alexa Chung, Pixie Lott and Jameela Jamil. But don’t fear you too can pull off this tricky trend.




Keep it simple
Team your full length dungarees with a simple white cropped tee, a statement necklace and sandals for a laid back stylish daytime look. Add heels and a great clutch for a summer evening spent in a pub beer garden.


Don’t be afraid to go short
If you’re like me and a little vertically challenged you maybe a little dwarfed by this trend but not to worry short dungarees are just as chic and perfect for your holiday! Go dark on this variation of the trend together with a brightly coloured top underneath for an eye catching outfit for day and night.

Go bold
Go beyond blues and black with bright dungarees for the ultimately cool summer look. Or if you’re brave enough go floral mad with a printed version. Try an ankle skimming pair with classic court shoes.

Invest
Dungarees are a great investment piece to take you through from summer to autumn. Combine a short pair with tights, a closely fitted knit and a great pair of Chelsea boots. A full length pair goes beautifully with a chunky cable knit jumper for a cosy look on cold nights.

Ditch the denim
The modern take on this seventies classic means that dungarees are available in a variety of fabrics from soft cotton to tough leather. It’s a look to commit to but works wonderfully when styled to perfection. Try a fitted pair with heels and a ¾ length top.


I'm still on the lookout for a pair of dungarees that won't make me look like a child! Possibly not the best trend for us shortarses...
