There are some things that instantly feel like summer.
A picnic blanket spread out on the grass. A bucket and spade by the front door. An ice cream melting faster than it's being eaten. And, of course, your favourite pair of dungarees ready for whatever adventure the day brings.
We are so excited to welcome two new additions to our Spring/Summer 26 collection: the Atlantic Seersucker Dungarees and the Maroon Seersucker Dungarees.
Made from beautifully lightweight seersucker fabric, these bright dungarees are designed for long summer days, family adventures and all the wonderful memories made in between.
Inspired by the Summers We Loved as Children
When we designed the Atlantic and Maroon Dungarees, we found ourselves thinking about the simple joys of childhood summers.
The Atlantic Seersucker Dungarees, with the blue gingham design, remind us of days spent by the sea. Beach huts painted in cheerful colours, sailing boats drifting across the water and pockets filled with shells collected along the shore.
The Maroon Seersucker Dungarees, with their classic red and white gingham design, take us somewhere a little different, to village greens, picnic blankets, homemade lemonade and afternoons spent running barefoot through the garden!
Both styles have a wonderfully nostalgic feel, inspired by the childhood summers many of us remember so fondly and the adventures we hope every generation will enjoy too.
A Little Bit Retro, In the Best Possible Way
There's something about a classic gingham that never goes out of style.
The Atlantic and Maroon Dungarees take inspiration from vintage children's clothing, bringing a touch of retro charm to modern adventures. They feel like something you might spot in an old family photograph, yet they're every bit as practical for today's little explorers.
Timeless rather than trendy, they're the sort of dungarees that look just as lovely now as they will years from now when you're looking back through photo albums.
Made for Climbing, Exploring and Getting Stuck In
Of course, childhood isn't spent standing still.
That's why our seersucker dungarees are designed to be comfortable enough for every adventure. The lightweight cotton fabric is breathable and easy to wear, helping little ones stay cool on warm summer days.
The relaxed fit leaves plenty of room for climbing trees, building dens, hunting for treasure and all the other important work of childhood.
And because we know children grow quickly, adjustable straps and new double turn-ups help these dungarees fit for longer, making them a practical favourite for parents too. Plus, for the littlest explorers, dungarees up to size 18–24m feature our well-loved zip access for fuss-free nappy changes.
Why Families Love Dotty Dungarees
At Dotty Dungarees, we've always believed children's clothing should be made for adventures.
We design our dungarees to be worn, loved, handed down and worn all over again. They're comfortable, durable and made to keep up with childhood in all its messy, joyful glory.
Parents love them because they're practical and long-lasting. Children love them because they're comfortable enough to forget they're even wearing them. That's exactly how we think children's clothes should be.
Ready for a Summer of Adventures
Whether it's a holiday by the coast, a weekend in the countryside or simply a sunny afternoon spent in the garden, the Atlantic and Maroon Seersucker Dungarees are ready for whatever the day brings.
Full of nostalgic charm, retro inspiration and everyday practicality, they're made for collecting memories, making mischief and enjoying every moment of childhood.
