Overalls were once associated with farmers and small children as a must have uniform for both groups, but the utilitarian garment has come a long way since then. Cut to present day, overalls are now a fashionable outfit option for city-dwellers and those who are farmers market-bound for the weekend.
To avoid feeling like an oversized toddler, the cut of the pair of overalls is key. A fitted pair of overalls is the best way to create the illusion of long legs, rather than drowning in a sea of material.
Overall Outfits
Overalls are the perfect opportunity for those who are shy about exposing their abdomen to try a crop top. On the opposite end, a billowy sweater underneath a pair of classic denim overalls would be the perfect transitional weather look.
Scroll below for plenty of overall outfits inspo and find different ways to style the classic denim look.
Tank + Overalls + Clogs
The biggest difference in having overall outfits look more chic than childish is the color and the cut. White denim overalls, with subtle silver hardware, feel a million times cooler than regular overalls.
The relaxed fit feels tomboyish, yet strikingly feminine.
Tank + Overalls + Sandals
An all-white white look is always chic, and it’s no different where overalls are concerned. The simple cut and linen fabric make it anything but a farmer uniform.
A white tank top and strappy sandals look especially put together, but a white sweater in a luxe fabric and heeled boots would deliver the same effect in colder weather.
Tank + Overalls + Boots
Slipping a sleek bodysuit or tank top underneath a denim pair of overalls leads to a more tailored feel.
A wide-leg, baggy style keeps the look feeling casual and curated, whether you finish it with a chunky boot or a pair of sneakers.
Shirt + Overalls
Blue denim overalls can make for a super cool look—when done right. They’re best layered over a simple t-shirt, or, if you’re more daring, they’d look equally stunning paired with a bright graphic t-shirt.
Finish off the casual vibe with an intentional one-strap look by unfastening one side at the shoulder.
Tee + Overalls + Flats
A faded pinstriped pair of overalls possess the requisite slouch for an off-duty excursion.
By pairing sophisticated pieces like two-tone flats, and a structured leather bag, this is easily one of my favorite ways to turn a polarizing denim item into a cool and sophisticated date night outfit.
Go high-low with your overall look by styling the wardrobe favorite with a casual white tee but finishing it off with a lust-worthy leather bag.
Sweater + Tee + Overalls + Sandals
A wholistic approach to overall outfit ideas is to embrace feminine items which will ultimately balance out the masculinity of the garment.
As an all-in-one outfit, they reliably fulfill their purpose to make getting dressed much easier. Adding a striped sweater and chic sunnies adds a feminine touch to the denim overalls.
Sweater + Shirt + Overalls + Sneakers
The best thing about overalls is how low-maintenance they are. And though often met with trepidation, their staying power is unmatched ( not to mention the amount of cute outfits that can be made from the all-in-one look.)
They eliminate the frustration of coordinating a top and a bottom, and you get the styling appeal of blue jean roots without the discomfort of snug jeans on your waist.
Adding a pop of color with a chunky sneaker breaks up the denim silhouette and is a fun addition to the look.
Blazer + Overalls + Sneakers
When grabbing a pair of overalls, the styling is already done for you, making them a closet necessity. Overalls can make even the most minimal effort into an intentional look.
Overalls present the opportunity to express yourself in new ways. Add an oversized blazer for a tidy look. Slide on some sneakers and socks for a dad fashion moment.
Coat + Overalls + Sneakers
Few do street style better than Hailey Bieber. So, when the model rocks a pair of overalls, you know that overalls are the only option for your next look.
Go for a streamlined look and pair a long, oversized coat with wide-leg overalls for a high/low mix that works seamlessly together.
Sweater + Overalls + Boots
If you’re looking for something simple, seek an overall shape with skinny overalls that’s more covered than the rest.
During the warmer months, juxtapose the skinny style with a billowy blouse or even bandeau tops. An oversized sweater is a great option for the colder months.
Jacket + Overalls + Clogs
Perhaps it goes back to the oft-repeated notion that there is such a thing as too much black. Black overalls are a bit more chic than basic denim overalls.
The color makes these overalls outfits a bit more chic than your basic denim overall, without making them harder to style. The overalls pair well with layers, both underneath and on top.
Sweaters, a long sleeve shirt, hoodies, and a striped tee are all great starts, but a standout leather jacket and clogs give the look added complexity and style.
