Boiler suits.
They're on-trend at the moment, aren't they?
BUT
How do you really feel about them?
Personally, I'm torn between loving and hating.
- Comfort (they're so comfortable it's crazy!)
- Ease (pop it on...done!)
- An outfit in one (just add shoes)
- Leg coverage (easier than a dress)
- No need for leg maintenance (whether that's leg makeup/fake tan/shaving/ waxing etc)
- On-trend/cool and edgy (they can look amazing!)
However, the Cons can outweigh the pros sometimes!
- Baggy bum (ugh... we don't need help in that department do we?)
- Shapeless and unflattering (baggy and saggy... hmmm?)
- Leg shortening (unless you wear heels but who can be bothered with that on the daily?)
- Looking like you're about to embark on a spot of painting or car maintenance.
- Trailing them on the floor in public bathrooms (enough said).
For me, a boilersuit is one of those items that needs to be styled up to look half decent.
This begs the question...
If an item NEEDS to be mindfully styled then is it worth it?
I'd love to find out what you think!
