When I bought this pair of overalls last summer, I certainly did not think the trend would sustain. After wearing them a few times I reckoned they’d be one of those items I’d feel guilty about buying because of such little wearability. And although I’m becoming more strategic on where I spend my pennies, stumbling now and again does happen, naturally. I imagined this would be another one of those instances. But alas – the good ol’ fashion denim staple marches on. I busted mine out again this past weekend when the temperature reached an exciting fifty degrees because like the weather, I am ready for change. I paired them with my J.Crew keeper chambray shirt to facilitate a full-on denim suit also referred to sometimes as a Canadian tuxedo. Figured to either go big or go home. Overalls have been around since the late 1700′s, first worn for function in the workplace and then transforming into fashion by the 60′s and 70′s. Lee, Levi’s and Wrangler, are just a few of the early denim companies that monopolized on the silhouette. Things have come full circle and despite the heritage brands reproducing old classics, you can now find modern, fresh updates everywhere like these from FRAME denim, Citizens of Humanity, Current/Elliot and a distressed version by H&M. Go get yo-self a pair. Happy Monday! xx jenny
