LONG + SHORT DUNGAREES

Why dungarees are so practical in everyday baby life

Dungarees sit without a waistband on the tummy, so they can neither slip nor pinch – everything stays in place while shuffling, crawling and climbing. Adjustable straps let the trousers grow along for months, and many styles have press studs at the crotch so nappy changes work without undressing completely.

Combining all year round

In summer, a t-shirt or bodysuit under the short dungarees is enough; in winter, a long-sleeved top and tights warm underneath. That way, the dungarees become an all-year piece that keeps up with everything, from spring walks to advent windows.

You'll find further styles in our long trousers and shorts categories.

Whether made from soft sweat, cord or muslin: good dungarees are perhaps the most practical piece in a child's wardrobe – and adorably sweet at that.
