How to Buy Dunagree Pants
Have you ever worn
dungarees? They have evolved from men's work wear and a symbol of the Great Depression in the Grapes of Wrath, to adorn the stars of the novel Just Kids and become a teen must-have in the 80s and 90s, sparked by Jordan of boy band New Kids on the Block and the l986 film Betty Blue. Only to fade again into fashion obscurity, relegated to farming or mechanic status, and perhaps frumpy maternity pants.
Remember Jesse Duke in his sporty dungarees and Daisy Duke in her shorty dungarees, spawning another claim to fame for these indomitable
pants. Fast-forward to today's popular vintage and retro fashions, and re-enter the jeans-inspired dungarees, still with handy pockets.
So trend or tradition, dungarees emerge again and again. This time, from the classic OshKosh
denims and
corduroys, past the toddler realm, to become celebrity wear in Gossip Girls, to London fashion week in the Marios Schwab collection.
So, as a matter of fashion etiquette, the latest designs in dungarees are a Go, as well as quite functional and stylish, in fact. Ladies should accessorize with nicely fitted tops and/or blazers, heels and earrings.
Go for a pair of
Carhartt dungarees or Cavalli's delicate silk dungarees. Also, consider a pair of oversized khaki dungarees from Peter Jenson or Roland Mouret dungarees. H&M's women's floral denim full length and short dungarees.
Lee dungarees Carpenter Jeans and Lucky Brand dungarees offer a variety of styles, such as men's classic fit denims, mid-rise and straight-legged, made in the U.S.
