Dickies

Why did we include Dickies in Thestreets?

Dickies entered the city life through honest, working foundations, not through posing. It works on the streets because when you have things that can withstand a real day, you stop worrying about whether they are "in" and start worrying about whether they can be relied on. It is a brand that can hold its shape even when the day changes as it goes along and the outfit has to handle more than just a nice moment in front of the mirror.

In practice, Dickies revolves around the cut and how the pants behave when walking and sitting. When the silhouette fits, the rest of the fit doesn't have to make a big show. It often comes down to simple layers and footwear that balances comfort and character.

How to wear them, what to combine them with?

• for city trips, when walking, public transport and standing outside for a long time alternate

• for days when practicality is the key and the outfit should withstand even worse surfaces and pace

• with a simple T-shirt and a layer on top, so that the workwear looks civilian, not costume-like

• for weekend city routines, where comfort becomes apparent after a few hours, not after the first few minutes

• with relaxed shoes, when you want to let the silhouette of your trousers "breathe" without excessive styling

A good base is often made by ordinary sneakers, while many people balance it with something simple on their feet like vans.

What to look out for when buying

With Dickies, the cut and length are most often the deciding factor. The difference between a relaxed fit and shapeless pants is often just where they end above the shoe and how they sit at the waist. It also makes sense to think about whether you want to wear them higher or lower, because this will change the entire proportion of the figure.

The most common things to look at are:

• how the length looks when you walk, whether the fabric is unnecessarily bunched up or, conversely, does it look short

• whether there is room to move in the thighs and knees without the pants "pulling"

• how the waistband fits when you sit so that the outfit does not require constant adjustment

• whether it can be combined with simple layers so that workwear does not take away the lightness of the outfit

• how the silhouette works with the shoes you wear most often, not just with one pair

When you add a top layer for the transitional period, many people go for something functional the north face, and when it comes to shoes, it is sometimes softened into civilian style with new balance.

Frequently asked questions - FAQ

How to choose a cut so that Dickies do not look too bulky?

It helps to start with the length and waist, because those two things make the silhouette. When the volume is balanced with a simple top and clean shoes, the result looks natural even without extra styling.

Can workwear be worn casually so that it doesn't look like a work outfit?

Yes, the combination and the rest of the fit are key. When the number of "work" details is not increased and only the cut is allowed to stand out, a wearable urban base remains.

Practical experience, tips and tricks

At Dickies, I've often seen people come in looking for a durable piece, but leave especially excited that they finally found a proportion that suits them. The length makes a huge difference, especially when worn with bulky shoes or, conversely, with a low profile. You'll also be surprised how quickly workwear "calms down" when the rest of the outfit is kept simple. It works best when you let it live in your everyday life, not when you try to look "workwear".

Who is Dickies for?

It suits people who want a solid urban foundation and don't like to approach their wardrobe as a project. It also makes sense for those who base their outfit on a trouser cut and need it to work when walking, sitting, and at the pace of the day. When worn casually and without pressure, the workwear character comes naturally.
