The fact that dungarees are "back" fills me with horror. Dungarees should remain firmly in the days of Dexys Midnight Runners, Marian from Bosco and the environs of playschools.
They have no business returning to 2013 to cut the flaps off anyone (if you've ever squeezed yourself into a pair of too tight dungarees and then tried to sit down you'll know what I'm talking about).
Dungarees on kids: cute. Dungarees on grown women: notoriously difficult to wear. Don't be fooled by the likes of Rihanna, Alexa Chung and Heidi Klum sashaying around in theirs - even THEY can't make them look good. So what chance do the rest of us have?
If you've got a tummy - they'll make you look like a tellytubby. And the skinny legged ones will accentuate your middle something rotten. If you've ever wondered how to make yourself look dumpy - dungarees will do it for you in one easy step.
Now obviously variations on the trend do exist. The short dungarees look more like playsuits and *can* look seriously cute while what are being referred to as "skirt dungarees" (pinafores to you and me) can look fab.

But the full on dungaree deal? No, just no. If I haven't put you off enough then this site might do it.
Dungarees Online perfectly showcases all that is wrong and terrible with the world of dungarees. In the examples above we can clearly see how terribly hard to wear this garment can be. Every part of a womans body that can be unflatteringly highlighted - is. And as for the second example: I can only hope that the poor girl has a handy pack of Canesten in her bag because those dungarees are rammed so tightly up her lady parts it must be killing her.
River Island are flying the flag for this trend. HOW CAN THEY?! They started off with Rihanna's disgusting first collection and now this indignity. I call for a boycott on their stores until the madness ends.
Or is this just me? Do you love them?
