Boiler suits are called so because they were first worn by men maintaining coal-fired boilers. To check for steam leaks or to clean accumulated soot from inside the firebox of a steam locomotive, someone had to climb inside, through the Firehole. Today a boiler suit is one of the hottest trends that are currently on and it seems to go higher and higher. If you are puzzling over how to wear this a bit weird piece of clothes, here are some ideas!
You may choose any color that you like – black, beige, tan, camel, green, white, off-white – these are traditional shades for such clothes, though you may find some colorful items, too.

Style your boiler suit with heels – this is the best idea to create a contrasting look; to add a trendy feel go for mules. Another way to go is wear sneakers or trainers for a more casual feel. Highlight your waist with a belt or sash and add a tiny bag and voila!
