Boiler Suits Are An All-In-One Outfit, So Here Are The Best Styles To Buy Now And Wear Into Spring

Some people wait what feels like a lifetime to dust off their floral floaty frocks and embrace spring’s finery each year. But hyper-feminine, bohemian buys truly aren’t for everyone, and if covering-up or dressing modestly is your MO, alas there’s a new trend in town, just for you.

The definition of boiler suits (in the fashion sense) is unclear, to say the least – constantly blurring are the lines between what exactly is a boiler suit, utility jumpsuit or dungaree. While no two boiler suits are created equal, you’ll recognise most by some distinguishing features: Flap chest pockets feature heavily, as do D-rings, detachable tie belts and straight legs.

Make like the droves of fashion editors at fashion week and layer a lightweight turtleneck and pointed-toe ankle boots with yours now, while we’re still subjected to freezing climes. Then when the warmer weather rolls around, ditch the layers if you like and wear with lots of layered-up trinket necklaces. Add a bumbag and sandals or sneakers for daytime chilling, and a cross-body mini-bag and heels for date-night dinner plans. Long-sleeve or short, heavy-duty or silk, there’s one for everyone out there. We’ve rounded up the very best out in our gallery below.
