I've been thinking about a lot of fashion items lately & nothing seems very interesting or interesting enough to blog about . Another writers block yet again . Its really frustrating . But today I've finally picked an item we all know & sort of loved/hated when we were younger . This fashion item has been around for decades I must say . My mum used to put me in these ALL the time but I hated them .
I assure you when she sees this item in my closet , she'll say " See lah , last time I have so many , you all don't want . Now ? Suddenly want it when I don't have it anymore . So weird lah" . Yes , she'll literally say that to me just like when she saw my studded platforms . Yes , many old fashion items are now crawling back into today's fashion scene such as the platforms . Today's post isn't about platforms , maybe another time .
Instead , its about DUNGAREES ! If you don't know what dungarees are , you prolly know them as OVERALLS . Back in the 80s or 90s , they were all in denim . Its was a classic back then . But even though it was a really famous fashion item , it just looked ragged , untidy & just not flattering .
But now in the 21st century , it has come back into the fashion scene & is definitely here to stay . Now on the streets you see girls & also GUYS wearing them in the most stylish ways .
Being girls , we are very VERY lucky 'cause with dungarees , we can wear them with anything at all . Collared tops , crop tops , tank tops or even just a normal T-shirt . Shoes ? Heels , sneakers , platforms , ballerina flats , YOU NAME IT . The dungarees are the most easiest to wear & match even for just a normal casual day .
You want to wear it for a party but don't want to look plain ? Wear a chunky or statement necklace that stands out if your top is a plain one . Or wear a printed top to spice it up ! Anything will do just don't over-do it .
Dungarees can come in two forms . In shorts or long pants .
If you're petite , you should wear short dungarees . Also if you're not the type that likes to show skin , wear them with black leggings/stockings or even colored leggings/stockings !
If you're tall , feel free to wear short or long ! I know its hard to wear the long ones & actually look good , but give it a try . Theres no harm . Wear them with flats or even wedges for that casual look .
I really think this is one of the old trends that will be definitely staying in the fashion world for a long LONG time . I'm actually in much regret of not saving the dungarees I saw when we were moving houses . Now I've got to spend money to get a new pair .
Everyone , if your mum has a pair , KEEP THEM .
Treasure what yo' momma gave you .
Till then ,
V
