While dungarees may have been considered the go-to staple of models and super stylish stars alone, this season the dungaree trend has had a mainstream makeover - and everyone from Topshop to Toast has their own interpretation to tempt you in.
To help you find the right pair for you, we've picked 10 of our favourites and included which styles suit certain shapes and what you can wear it with. It couldn't be more simple.
Black skinny jeans
Best for: shorter figures
Pair with: A grey roll neck, black heels and a black clutch bag
Strictly speaking, tall people can wear this style too but to appear taller, the length on the jean should graze the ankle and these will do the job best. If they're still a tad too long, make sure you get them taken up to give the illusion of more height.

Lee Bib Front Full Length Dungarees
Best for: flat chests
Pair with: a white shirt and Stan Smith Adidas trainers
As these overalls are so high-necked it's important to get the balance just right. They can also accentuate a flat chest if you feel that you're lacking.

MOTO Selvedge Denim Dungarees
Best for: mid-height
Pair with: a Breton top and strappy heels
These work best when you're neither towering above people, or looking up to them. A truly spring outfit, this is ideally worn with stripes and heels for a glamorous nautical look. Oh, and a tan.

Indigo Denim Flared Dungaree
Best for: petite and curvy shapes
Pair with: Stiletto heels and a pussybow blouse
When you're short and don't go straight up and down, skinny jeans can be your own personal hell. Thankfully, flared-style dungarees perfectly balance you out.

Backless denim dungarees
Best for: bigger chests
Pair with: A simple black long-sleeved tee and black heels.
Too much material up top can bring more attention to your chest area, so to minimize this, make sure you wear black with a thinner denim.

Levi's Overalls
Best for: All types
Pair with: a bomber jacket and nude heels (like these)
This is a classic pair of dungarees from a classic jean brand so you can't really go wrong here.

Ripped denim dungarees
Best for: Petite and sporty types
Pair with: a Chambray shirt and a white pair of stiletto heels
Ripped jeans are still having a moment so combine that look with the dungarees trend and you've got fashion gold.

Black Denim Dungarees
Best for: giving you a waist
Pair with: creepers and a camel coat
If you feel that you could do with some help when it comes to accentuating your waist, then opt for these dungarees. They have a defined waistband to give you that cinched-in look.

Mori dungaree
Best for: Tall shapes
Pair with: a grey t-shirt and espadrilles
On a more vertically challenged person, you'll find these dungarees will look too big but on a taller figure you'll find a better fit. Ideal as a cool summer outfit.

DARK DENIM DUNGAREES
Best for: boyish figures
Pair with: white blazer and flat slingbacks
Instead of fighting the more androgynous look, accept it and make it a statement with masculine tailoring and chic shoes.
