    Looking to update your Summer wardrobe? Move over the Jumpsuit, its all about the dungaree. But where from and how to style it? Look no further...

    The Dungaree Edit, See Our Pick Of The Best...

    A firm favourite in the 90s, thanks to Alexa Chung the popular Summer staple is making a comeback in 2015. Not to be confused with jumpsuits, Dungarees this season come in all shapes and sizes, from denim to pinstripes. Look out for details such as zip detail fronts, classic blue wash, leather, oversized pocket details and chunky buttons. But are they just for Summer and what do we wear under them, we hear you ask! Not just for holidays, wear now with a skinny fit roll neck underneath for a 70s twist that's totally office appropriate. We favour a frilly Victoriana style blouse layered underneath too, extra style points if you go for one with a black ribbon bow. Very Alexa Chung and lends a girly edge to a otherwise quite masculine shape. If you're looking for a style to flatter curves, try one of the flared options and go for a close fit. Underneath always wear something that will show off your waist for the most flattering look. No baggy oversized tees here. For a more playful look why not wear with one side undone, worn with statement coloured necklace and bright vest. In terms of what coat or jacket to shoulder robe with, we say stick to a biker jacket or cropped parka. Anything longer and 'coat' like in shape won't work with the proportion of the dungaree.
