“Back in the day my sister had this beautiful light-blue pair of overalls and it was one of my favorite garments ever! I guess it was hers too because she didn’t let me use it very often. Well, that didn’t stop me! I’d wear it when I had to leave early for school while she was still asleep – I knew the risk but I was willing to take the consequences! …”

Durante anos o macacão foi utilizado maioritariamente por homens enquanto trabalhavam, contudo, na 1ª guerra mundial as mulheres renderam-se à utilidade prática do macacão, quando substituíam os homens nas fábricas. Finalmente nos anos 70 foi introduzido no mundo da moda.
Assim que a moda abriu as portas a esta peça, apareceram os mais diversos tipos de macacão, fugindo ao aspeto mais clássico (macacão de ganga) mas mantendo a essência – Simples, prático e relaxado.

Há alguns anos atrás a minha irmã tinha um macacão azul claro que era a minha peça de roupa preferida, provavelmente também era a dela, portanto não estava autorizada a vesti-lo com muita regularidade. O que nunca me deteve, lembro-me de o vestir quando saía mais cedo para a escola enquanto ela ainda dormia. Conhecia o risco mas estava disposta a arcar com as consequências. Entretanto tive uns de ganga mas há anos que não comprava nada do género, até que os nossos destinos se cruzaram na Ericeira Surf & Skate e vivemos felizes para sempre! 🙂

For years overalls were mostly used by men while working, however, during World War I women surrendered to overall when replacing men working in factories. Finally in the 70s they were introduced in the Fashion industry.

Back in the day my sister had this beautiful light-blue pair of overalls and it was one of my favorite garments ever! I guess it was hers too because she didn’t let me use it very often. Well, that didn’t stop me! I’d wear it when I had to leave early for school while she was still asleep – I knew the risk but I was willing to take the consequences! Eventually I had my own denim overalls but it’s been years since I got my last pair. Until our paths crossed again at Ericeira Surf & Skate and we lived happily ever after! 🙂
