Dungarees are back in style

Dungarees are no longer shapeless and functional, but a staple of fashion. You can make yours look even hipper by bearing a couple of tips in mind, from the fit to the clothes you pair with them.

Dungarees were originally designed to protect wearers doing demanding physical labour. Now, they are a fashion fixture.

In 2025, dungarees with a wide silhouette are particularly popular, and most people are wearing them made of denim.

But what should you consider if you are buying a pair and what can you wear with them?

Here are some tips, courtesy of a fashion expert.

When purchasing a pair of dungarees, look for a relaxed fit. You don't want them too tight, especially in the crotch area.

"If in doubt, go for the next size up. Dungarees tend to be worn looser and more relaxed these days anyway," says style consultant Dunja Hess.

It's not just the cut that's important. Another detail people often overlook is the leg length.

Many pairs of dungarees have long legs, which you can shorten or roll up.
