This high-street boiler suit everyone is buying right now

When an item gets a lot of love on social media, you have to be quick off the mark these days. Like when Urban Outfitters got more stock of their boiler suit and it sold out. Twice.

Oh, and they told me the waiting list is was the highest it's ever seen (a few weeks ago they said 'a record breaking product in terms of pre-orders to date, and it’s looking likely to sell out before the product even hits the shops').

I've spotted it on a few editors and influencers, and with spring round the corner, it looks like the pink version is the clear winner here, though the other pastel colours (butter yellow and lilac) will look equally chic.

If you're not feeling it, you can go for the more classic black version, which is a great mid-season buy.

As it's quite a casual item, I'd recommend dressing it up with some barely-there sandals, though it'll look equally cool with your favourite kicks.
