Throwback Trends | Overalls

I am aware that some people dislike the fact that overalls are back in fashion, whether it is because they look childish or because they give off too much of a farmer vibe. Personally I love them, and they’re probably one of my favourite clothing items at the moment because they can be styled many different ways. In today’s look I opted for a more ‘city chic’ look because well… I was in the city, and I thought pairing the overalls with a t-shirt and hoodie wasn’t very suitable for going to the theatre (I watched West Side Story!).

My overalls are from a little clothing stall in Thailand, and I paired them with my grey cropped mock neck top, black chunky heeled boots and a warm black coat. I love this coat because it cinches in a bit at the waist to maintain shape, and the red lining on the inside gives my outfit a hidden pop of colour. I decided on quite a dull colour palette because neutrals just tend to look more mature, demolishing the childish image of overalls, and also to draw the attention to the denim.

Have fun, and stay tuned for a Lookbook featuring overalls in the near future!

Throwback Trends | Denim on Denim

Denim on Denim was huge in the 90s, and now it’s back with a modern twist. Many people completely avoid this combination because being clad in denim from top to bottom can be somewhat over bearing, but as long as there is some thought put into it, pulling off this throwback trend can look more updated.

When wearing the same shades of denim, ensure that the denim is not too overbearing by dressing to flatter your figure and working with a simple colour palette. I’m wearing my denim A-line skirt with a fitted denim jacket, completing the look with a white Mickey T-shirt and a blue/white flannel tied around my waist for a 90s feel.

Jacket: Cache Cache | T-Shirt: Market Stall | Skirt: Ohayo! (Similar – Etsy or MissSelfridge) | Blue & White Checked Shirt | Shoes: Converse

Extra tip: Another common way of modernising the all-denim look is to wear different shades of denim, for example a light wash chambray top with black denim jeans.

Have fun!
