See? You don't have to wear your overalls in just one way. As an added bonus, you just updated your wardrobe without spending a cent more than necessary.
Make them look effortless and chic by wearing them with a heel (boot, sandal or pump – but a heel) and a slim top underneath. For the winter make it a turtleneck and boots like Hallie did above.
If you pair overalls with sneakers, you will look younger. Heels are the new, modern way to wear overalls and this helps keep the look from being too casual. We're seeing them paired with stilettos and high-heeled sandals, however we say keep it more real for everyday with a dressy wedge or platform heel.
Overalls have long been a wardrobe staple for the It girls of the world—ranging all the way from Jane Birkin to Alexa Chung—and surprise, surprise: they're back as a major trend for summer 2024.
Typically, overalls are associated with autumn, but they can easily work for the transition from winter to spring and into early summer. Overalls became popular with women during World War II as they entered the manufacturing sector.
Probably the most comfortable and most-owned bra type, t-shirt bras are a perfect companion that go with all your fitted tops and dresses. The comfortable padding fits you like a second skin and provides a gorgeously smooth silhouette without any unnecessary bra lines.

Overalls, as much as possible, should feel like a relad part of the outfit—almost a denim basic—and not the main event. Fit should be loose, but never, ever baggy. And keep the accessories simple: Converse All-Stars are a nice touch.
Because if you have a long torso, your normal size might leave you with that dreaded camel-toe. And, if you have a short torso, the extra fabric might make your midsection look big, especially since overalls are one solid block of color. Anywhere that's too much will look extra-too much.
The exact beginnings of the wearing of overalls are unclear, but they are mentioned in literature as early as 1776 as protective working garments commonly worn by slaves. The first evidence of overalls being mass-produced are those made by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis in the 1890s.
Tank tops with overalls are a match made in heaven for warmer days. This pairing is not only comfortable but also offers a canvas for accessorizing. The tank top with overalls style is versatile for those sunny, breezy days. Add a statement necklace or a pair of bold sunglasses to elevate your overall look.
Boots. Overalls can have a certain boldness that pairs well with a pair of boots. Whether you've got some sleek boots to go with a sleek-fitting style of overalls or some more rugged ones to go with a more rugged style of overalls, it can be a match made in heaven. You can't go wrong with a stylish work boot.
In the winter, wearing thermal underclothing beneath your insulated coveralls helps keep you warm. This can be more of an issue when dealing with women's coveralls, which may not provide the same insulation as male workwear. Avoid bulky clothing that restricts your movement.
When it comes to styling an overall dress I love love love going with a dressier top. Dressier to me in this case would be a ruffled blouse, something with balloon sleeves or a hight collar. Now that I think about it something with a fun print is also a good idea! Think plaid, horses or polka dots.
If you want to keep your overalls outfit casual, choose a simple t-shirt (you could do long sleeve, short sleeve, or half sleeve). For shoes, choose a pair of flats or loafers that are a little bit on the nicer side to help your outfit feel sophisticated instead of schlumpy.
Women's hips tend to have more curvature than men's hips, and proper women's workwear is built to accommodate this. A pair of women's coveralls or work pants will usually have wider hips that taper slightly toward the waist to help them fit more naturally.
