The Boiler
Suit?
Although it’s
been around
for decades,
the boiler suit is
moving up our
wardrobe must-
have list at a rapid
pace. Here’s how
to work the glam-
meets-utility look...HEY,
HOW
DO I
WEAR...
IT HAS MANY
TALENTS
It channels the
utilitarian aesthetic—
but you can also make
it glam. Unzip (or
unbutton) the top, and
layer it over a T-shirt
for casual street style.
Or elevate it with a
peekaboo lace bra and
heeled boots or mules
for a feminine twist.IT’S A CHIC ONESIE
The boiler suit is a full
look, which means more
snooze time and less trying
to put together an outfit
at the crack of dawn. Its
collar feature adds extra
polish—and because it
typically has pockets, you
don’t even need a bag!IT’S FOR
EVERYONE
Different styles suit
different body types.
If you’re curvy, go for
high-waisted cuts with a
built-in belt. If you have
a boyish figure, choose
a loose-fitting boiler
with a drawstring belt
worn around the hips. If
you’re petite, a fitted one
with flared trousers and
high heels will elongate
your legs.IT CAME,
IT CONQUERED
It was once a workman’s
uniform: the ‘protective
overalls’ worn for
manual labour. It’s been
a thing since World
War II. But where men
previously dominated it,
women are now owning
it. It’s gained popularity
among celebs such as
Rita Ora, Gigi Hadid,
and Lena Dunham.By
