WILL DUNGAREES SOLVE ALL MY PROBLEMS?

aisha aisha aisha.

dungarees, overalls (i wanted to do a stylistic list of all the names here but that’s pretty much it covered, isn’t it?) how much power do they have?

it’s a good question - I have a feeling you already know the answer, but let’s go through the evidence anyway:

 1.  problem: i want a lie-in but styling an outfit in five minutes is too hard. solution: dungarees.

as you can see, they're all in one

let’s start with the obvious – it’s a top and trousers all in one. all in one. it's like the soup (drink and food all in one) of the fashion world. how can this be a bad thing? you wake up in the morning and you decide ‘today I’m wearing dungarees’ and that’s pretty much it - the top half already matches with the bottom because it’s all in one. if you want, that's your whole outfit done, or alternatively, you can also wear anything underneath. that's right - anything - because the top already matches with the bottom, because it’s all. in. one.

2.  problem: I don’t have enough money to buy new clothes for every occasion/season. solution: dungarees.

you can literally go to any occasion wearing dungarees and you will look great. i challenge everyone to find any other 'clothe' that can claim this.

on the beach – bikini and dunagrees

work – white shirt and dunagrees

casual winter – roll neck and dungarees

causal summer – crop top and dungarees

wedding – dungarees and veil

 3. problem: i spill shit everywhere. solution: dungarees.

aisha, you don’t have to worry about spillages any more! the bit that goes up from the trousers is actually called a bib so it’s basically just telling you to go wild and reach for that jam doughnut you've been eyeing up. 

4.   problem: i don’t suit loads of trends out there because the media says these things don’t suit my body/face/gender/race/class/hair/ear lobe length/voice pitch. solution: dungarees.

as malleable as ya get

there will literally be dungarees to suit you even if you are a 1cm micro-organism or something else that probably can’t just slip into the latest nasty gal mini dress.

unlike bodycons, dungarees offer a style that suits anyone. baggy, tight, short, long, denim, cotton, and lets not forget the dungaree dress which literally looks great on everyone c’mon.

 5. problem: I don’t know how to be cool but I really want to be cool. solution: dungarees.

look at her go

you will look cool without having to think about what you’re wearing 

alexa chung and danielle bernstein (of weworewhat) always wear them and they are two of the coolest people around.*

  6.  problem: sometimes i worry my top will just fly off and then i’ll be really embarrassed. solution: dungarees.

whoops. oh no wait it's fine

unlike most other tops, if this one falls off then it’s totally fine cause you can totally wear it like that as well. totally.

 7. problem: sometimes I don’t have somewhere on my body where I can transport a tampon to the toilet without just holding it in my hand. solution: dungarees.

i've got two flapjacks in here for later

you're sitting at your desk at school/work/prison and you wanna go sort yourself out. now you could be one of these women that just takes her whole bag to the toilet but c'mon you might as well just carry a packet of always with you if you're gonna do that. girls clothes don't have pockets**. but dungarees do, usually many, for all the tampons you need. 

so aisha, i think the conclusion here is pretty darn obvious if you ask me:

of course dunagrees won’t solve all your problems. i don't want to be the bearer of bad news but a lot of problems you will face over your life time will be out of your control. we both know a piece of material is not going to stop you getting diarrhoea on the day of your wedding or fix your boiler or get your sister to forgive you for gradually stealing and then losing her hair slides*** is it aisha?

this has been emily.

*note: for some serious dungaree inspo check these two ladies out, they've got it covered. 

**note: no this is not an exaggeration.
***note: don't worry this is not a prediction, hopefully none of these will happen to you. especially the wedding one - it's weird that statistically that situation has happened to someone before though. maybe it was the woman in the dungarees with the veil. maybe she thought dungarees would solve her food poisoning but it didn't. who knows aisha. who knows.
