But lately, I’ve seen some girls on the streets of New York City seriously rocking overalls in a really fierce way. It’s made me totally re-think them as a fashion item. When our Associate Editor, Caitlin Corsetti, paired her short overalls with booties and a slouchy tee, I even wanted a pair of my own. Who am I? I don’t know.
The point is, you can make overalls stylish – you just need to know how to put your outfit together the right way. As of right now, I don’t know if I’ll be able to pull them off – I’m short with a baby face, and I feel like wearing them will make me look like a giant infant – but I’m going to try. You should too! Here are 20 style tips on how to wear overalls.
1. Add feminine accessories to your overalls to keep the look fun and light.
2. Keep things simple and classic by pairing slim-fit overalls with a striped shirt and red accessories. So chic!
3. Or pair them with a button-down collared shirt and heels for work-appropriate attire.
4. For a really casual look, wear your overalls over a bandeau, and add a kimono jacket or cardigan over the whole outfit.
5. Make your overalls a perfect summer outfit by pairing them with a floppy hat, a lace shirt, and colorful wedges.
6. Another summery option is overalls and a crop top. This is also great if you want to wear a crop top without showing too much skin.
7. Short overalls can still work in the fall and winter! Just wear them with tights and a scarf.
