Heavy Duty Boiler Suit | Amsterdam

Not just for janitors and painters.

The boiler suit has well and truly found it’s place as one of the top essential items for SS15.

I’ve just returned from Amsterdam after spending a few days exploring the city for my birthday. It’s always been a place that I’ve wanted to visit, so I was over the moon when I was taken there as a surprise.

I’d recently bought this boiler suit from asos, so it seemed like the perfect occasion to wear it for the first time. To create a more put-together-look I paired it with my red Kurt Geiger tote and new Alexander McQueen stilletos (that I am head over heels in love with!).

Wearing Mac lipstick in Hot Tahiti. I kept accessories simple wearing a single diamond necklace and silver earrings.

What I love most about boiler suits is that they are so diverse and adaptive. You can wear them with trainers and a long duster coat during the day, then swap for heels and a clutch for a classy evening look.

TIP Find a tailored boiler suit to avoid looking frumpy and shapeless. To make it more Summer friendly go for a sleeveless number. This one from ASOS at £45 is my favourite but I’ve also added a few more that I like in my shop below.

The only bag I used for the whole duration of my trip. Although a bold colour, it went with all of my outfits. Navy and red are my favourite colour combinations at the moment!

A birthday wouldn’t be a birthday without a glass of celebratory bubbles now, would it! Cheers!
