I Am Wearing: Dungarees – Topshop | Top c/o Petit Bateau | Daniel Wellington Watch (get 15% off until Sept 30th with ‘lurchhoundloves15’)

1. Stripes Always Work

A lover of the classic breton, I find that stripes tend to go with any look, making an outfit look super chic. So, to avoid looking like a giant baby, by adding stripes you are adding a touch of Parisian Chic to your look. What I am wearing here would also look super cute with a pair of leather ballet pumps, again pulling on the Parisian vibe, also adding to the comfort of your look.

2. Experiment With Shoes

At first, I thought that wearing a pair of boots with denim dungarees sounded pretty silly, but in reality, it works! Although a nice crisp pair of white Stan Smiths or new converse would also look killer, think out of the box and don’t feel like you can only wear trainers with denim dungarees. I am actually looking forward to experimenting with heels for an evening look, especially when I get my hands on a black denim set of dungarees!

3. Layering

As we are coming into Autumn, now is the perfect time to start playing with layers. Whether you opt for wearing your dungarees over a shirt with a leather jacket, or adorning a polo neck underneath with an added necker chief on top. Have a go at trying your denim dungarees with staple items from your wardrobe and you may surprise yourself with a new look.

To avoid looking like a giant baby wearing your denim dungarees I would overall say that trying to be a bit fashion forward and having a play with layers and accessories is the best way to make this item adult friendly. I for one will be living in mine this Autumn / Winter, so I can’t wait to experiment a bit more with mine. Below I have popped some of my favourite denim dungarees from the high street for your shopping pleasure…
