Dungarees, or overalls, give us major throwback to when we were growing up. It’s an unquestionable childhood closet staple, but now our favourite trend is creeping its way back – spotted multiple times at Paris Fashion Week SS19. We are definitely not over overalls and here’s how you reinvent them this 2018.
For the Bold
It’s always fun to play with prints. What better way than to do it with overalls? If you’re just starting out, overalls help to tone down loud prints and colour by providing cover to the otherwise completely exposed printed top! Match it with a classic long black dungaree for a stylish finish.

For the Girl-Next-Door
As relaxed as overalls already are, take comfort level up a notch and nail your girl-next-door look by popping on easy, breezy tees under them. It’s a hands down win-win. For this look, opting for a short dungaree is the way to go.

For the Feminine Feline
With its’ laidback, sometimes slouchy vibe, this childhood trend may seem a little daunting for the girly girl’s closet. But a pinafore dress is a clever option for ladies who want to keep this overall trend feminine. Slip into a flowy blouse with floral, frills, ruffle or even a high neck detail to radiate a more tailored and flirty feel.

For the Athletic Chick
For girls who are always on the move or simply want to channel the 90’s, rocking a simple sports bra or athletic crop top paired with your favourite sneakers will be perfect. However, here’s a great alternative with the same appeal for those who are afraid of getting chilly or want to show a little less skin. Thicker stripes give the look a sportier overall look.
