Would You Wear: Overalls?

natthefatrat Natalie |

Last summer I scored the silliest pair of overalls from a Levi’s super clearance for something crazy like fifteen dollars. I figured it was a “fashion don’t” waiting to happen but jumped in anyway. I mean, overalls are awesome! And why not? And things. You understand.

This year, I’ve kept my eye on the overall situation, just in case I was onto something last year. Turns out, maybe. I still haven’t decided. Though overalls are making an appearance at a few trendy shops here and there.

I thought I’d do a round up of all the overalls I could find this season (both for purchase and for inspiration) and then leave it up to you: Would you wear overalls? (I would. There’s a reason we loved them so much as kids! They are insanely comfortable. And functional! And a lot easier to maneuver during bathroom trips now that I’m a “grown up,” as it were.) Enjoy!

  1. cute enough, but no thanks says:

    these might be cute on the teen and early 20′s set, but i think women beyond that would just look a little ridiculous. i would feel like i was trying desperately hard to be trendy wearing chambray overalls from forever 21…

  2. Roland says:

    Overalls are great!
    They can look cute and sexy at the same time.
    I don’t know of any other clothing item that is able to do that.

    I am wearing overalls myself whenever possible!
