Do you know how women's pinafores came to be?
Initially, pinafores weren't fashionable items, but rather functional pieces worn by peasant or working-class women in the 19th century. Their design protected the clothing worn underneath and made work in factories, on farms, or while doing housework easier. The first pinafores were something like aprons.
Nowadays, a pinafore offers a wide range of combination possibilities, making it an ideal choice for unique winter looks full of personality.
Let's see how?
How to combine your pinafore in winter to avoid getting cold
The pinafore dress is so versatile that it can be a great look for any season, even in winter. In winter, it becomes the go-to piece for layering and adding layers of warmth without sacrificing style. Here are some ideas:
- Monochromatic pinafore dress : Pair it with similarly toned garments. A stylish and harmonious look.
- A pop of color : Liven up your pinafore dress by pairing it with bright or contrasting colors. Wear it over a bright red or navy sweater for a lovely contrast.
- With textured or striped garments : A pinafore dress over a ribbed or striped sweater adds texture to the look and makes it even more interesting.
- Pinafore dress with long scarf: Give your pinafore dress a more urban look with a thick wool scarf. This combination is ideal for colder days and allows you to stay comfortable without losing style.
- With a thick sweatshirt or sweater : Wear a sweatshirt under your overalls. Let the voluminous sleeves pop out. A relaxed and modern style that keeps the overalls in focus.
- Dungarees with combat boots: Wear combat boots with knee-high socks that stick out over them. A cozy look with a youthful touch.
- Pinafore dress with cardigan and high boots: If you prefer a bohemian style, pair your pinafore dress with a long cardigan over it and ankle boots. It's perfect for everyday wear, as you can easily add layers and maintain the versatility of the look.
So, this winter, don't give up your favorite pinafore; with the right layers, you can stay warm and true to your style. Experiment with textures and colors to make each combination a reflection of your authenticity and confidence.
