Dress shirts give the formal vibe. Whether it’s a button-up or button-down shirt, it’s the perfect option for the office.

And if your dungaree is a well-tailored one, pair it with a dress shirt to achieve a formal look.

Furthermore, you can also rock your dungaree with oversized shirts.

2. Add a Belt

If your dungaree is too loose, add a belt to your ensemble. It’ll help to cinch your waist and give you the right fit.

3. Wear it with a Turtleneck

You can also rock your turtleneck with a dungaree. Regardless of the season or occasion, turtlenecks never go out of style

You can pair them with your dungaree and still look as fashionable as you’d love to. 

4. Wear it on Its Own

When you wear your dungaree without a top inside, it creates a jumpsuit-like look. A good dungaree to rock like this is denim.

It’s heavy and detailed already. Just slip it over your bra or singlet.

5. Wear it with Tees or Crop Top

Grab on a t-shirt or a crop top before you slip on your dungaree. This is a pro-tip if you want to create a casual look.

You can go for striped, graphic, or plain tees and crop tops. It all depends on your choice.

Wearing a crop top will give you room to show your midriff from the sides of the dungaree.

That’s a way to show some skin, yeah.

6. Wear One Strap

Another tip on how to style dungarees is to wear only one strap.

For this, you pair it with any top of your choice and then drop a strap. That is, you buckle only one strap.

Is it sunny at your end? Or are you having a bad hair day? Then grab on your hat.

Did you just picture a cowboy/cowgirl? If you want that look, get it by further pairing your dungarees with a boot.

Writing has always been a part of me. From writing stories as a young child to studying Communication Arts in the university, it has always been more than a medium of expression to me.

And then one day, I found myself toeing the path of an entrepreneur and becoming a fashion enthusiast. This made me develop an interest in content marketing and copywriting which I've been chasing alongside my fashion career.

That aside, when I'm not sharing style articles, selling with stories, or creating fashion-forward pieces for Ria Kosher, you'll find me telling wild stories that always come with a twist.
