In an east London church hall, a pair of pink dungarees covered in red faces winks at me from one corner. Milling by the coffee stand is another pair, this time in workhorse blue denim. My bung-on-with-anything black ones are in the wash, otherwise they might be here, too. From the sand pits to the ball pits, and every baby and toddler class in between, someone will be wearing a baggy pair of dungarees.
Brighton-based brand Lucy & Yak is leading the charge. Since launching in 2017, it has become the go-to for the all-in-one market in the same way that Zara’s spotty dress ruled floaty daywear in the summer of 2019.
