We all had a pair when we were toddlers. They were comfortable, practical and withstood the grassiest of stains. Overalls were a staple of our childhoods, so why did we stop wearing them? Luckily, they are finally making a stylish comeback, and early spring is the perfect time to invest in a new pair.
One reason people typically shy away from this article of clothing is that it’s typically viewed as frumpy and unflattering. To that I have to say—who cares? Comfort and convenience are getting more stylish every season! The rising trend of boyfriend jeans and baggy sweaters can attest to that.
However, if you want something with a better fit, you still don’t have to worry. There is no denying that this week’s Fashionista is anything but frumpy in her floral overalls. They are roomy but not overly so with a slimming fit along her legs. Plus, the floral pattern is perfect for the first warm days of the season.
For this Fashionista the overalls are the clear focal point of the outfit. She matches them with a simple white cotton shirt, black jacket and combat boots (though espadrilles or canvas sneakers would also look great with these pants). Her miniature brown backpack is convenient and scholarly, making the look even more appropriate for a college campus.
While these overalls are floral, a denim pair works just as well for a laid-back and springy outfit. Fashion blogger Sincerely Jules has amazing inspiration for rocking this article of clothing.
Overall, these are a great idea for anyone who wants to step outside their comfort zone this season. Overalls are a growing trend for a reason—they are practical (one word: pockets), easy to match with anything and add immediate interest to an outfit. Whether you choose to buy them new or thrift them, they are definitely something you will want in your closet this spring.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Wear something springy that you can move in, and always look for items with big pockets!”
