Steelwave Dungarees

There’s something about the right pair of dungarees - that glorious blend of effortless and practical - that makes you feel like you could actually be someone’s cool aunt. These ones channel a certain retro ‘back to the future’ vibe, only you don’t need a DeLorean to pull them off. Wide-legged and satisfyingly swishy, they’re basically a lazy-day dream for anyone who doesn’t want skinny jeans declaring war on their circulation. The cotton-linen blend feels soft as a sigh, slightly crumpled like you woke up late but still managed to look chic, and they’ve sorted the fit with elastic and straps so adjustable even Goldilocks would approve.

The big patch pockets are perfect for days when handbags are just too much admin, and there’s some proper statement double-stitched seams that aren’t mucking around - these are built for living in. Chuck them on with a tank or tee, maybe even dare to go braless (liberation!), they’re equally forgiving if last night’s cheese board came back for round two. Washes up easily, holds its shape, feels cool in the heat and gets comfier every time you wear it. Not even pretending to be delicate. That’s what makes them the sort of dungarees that deserve their own public holiday.
