If you’re looking for a hard-working spring outfit ideas, let dungarees be the latest addition to your wardrobe. Seriously, they suit every style, work for loads of occasions and making getting dressed in the morning a breeze.
Like a jumpsuit or a dress, wearing one statement piece will take away any early morning outfit angst. Unlike dresses or jumpsuits (and depending on the weather) you will probably need to slip a top under your dungas (and add a shacket) but it’s a simple addition. Ultimately, dungarees will give your outfit a completely coherent feel and who isn’t looking for that in a *lewk*?
Our Fashion Editor's pick of the best pieces from Uniqlo's designer collaboration with Marni
Gallery10 PhotosSo, what are the ways to wear this style staple for 2022? We particularly love dungarees worn over a Victorian-style lace-detailed blouse, to showcase the contrast between tough workwear and delicate femininity. Try a khaki pair for a totally on-trend outfit… Dungarees and a stripy t-shirt are a match made in heaven, particularly in you’re heading for a day at the seaside, although think beyond the classic blue Breton and mix it up in red, yellow or black stripes. On hotter days, wear your dungarees over a bright bra or a simple tank top with sandals.
Don’t ever think that dungarees only come in one shade of denim blue. We found a super versatile black pair from Anyday at John Lewis, a khaki pair - made from organic cotton - at Whistles, chocolate brown dungarees (which tick off the cocoa-coloured trend) from Monki and a sweet pastel pink pair in corduroy at ASOS. We also love the retro styling of Isabel Marant’s striped pair, they’re a designer investment purchase if you’re a dungaree devotee.
Commes des Garçons have taken the classic silhouette and smartened it up in black gaberdine while & Other Stories have a pair in dark blue check - both are ideal for your in-office days (and both would look slick with a white shirt and classic loafers. They'll make a change from your worn-to-death baggy jeans, too. (Shop more of the best jeans here). See, dungarees are a spring staple!
