How to style dungarees in 2023 (2024)

Dungarees: has there ever been a more divisive garment? Once solely reserved for farmers and toddlers, so much has changed for the all-in-one style in recent years. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a more recent adoptee, at first glance dungarees may seem difficult to pull off. (And not just when you're desperate for the loo.)

Getting the colour and cut right is hugely important, as obviously they make up such a large part of an outfit. Baggy off-whites with chunky sandals can be really stylish for summer, but there are some great printed styles out there if you're wanting to stray from traditional blue denim.

What should you wear under dungarees?

Forget the plain white T-shirt, and think out of the box when it comes to styling your dungarees. If you're a double denim-devotee, layer your pair over the top of a shirt in a contrasting shade, or you could even wear your dungarees with a white ribbed tank top and Western boots for maximum country-girl vibes.

However, if you'd prefer to incorporate some texture into your outfit, layer yours over a high drama blouse. Ethereal lace or perforated cut-outs with statement sleeves will inject your outfit with a sense of femininity to balance out the inherent androgyny associated with dungarees.

Which shoes should you wear with dungarees?

Deciding which shoes you should wear with your dungarees largely depends on the cut of the trouser leg. If you're sporting a relaxed boyfriend-fit, you can't go wrong with retro Dad sneakers, whereas if your pair is cropped, you might like to opt for a studded clog or a pair of fisherman sandals.
