Overalls are a very complex wardrobe item. On the one hand, it eliminates the need to choose a kit for the upper or lower part of the outfit, on the other hand, it is this cohesion that makes it difficult to select accessories to complete the look.
What are overalls
Overalls come in different styles: short and long, made of thick fabric or translucent, summer, demi-season, business, casual and very fashionable denim. What to wear with each of these models is described below.
Summer overalls are distinguished by a small length and light texture of the material. Although they can be sewn not only with legs in the form of shorts, but also reach the knees or go down below. For summer models, silk or chiffon materials are most often used. In autumn or spring, overalls are sewn from fabrics denser: cotton and linen, synthetics, polyester and others. Some of them do not have sleeves, but for these seasons it is better to choose options with sleeves "three quarters" or even to the very wrists.
The conventional name of “business” overalls is due to the fact that these models are most often worn in the office. They are distinguished by strict monophonic coloring (monochrome, pastel or muted color), as well as a classic silhouette with a solid top.
Recently, jeans models of “a la 90s” overalls or in the style of Texas farmers have become popular. They are characterized by the presence of a square insert on the chest and detachable straps. The length of the legs is unprincipled, they can be both in the form of shorts and ankle-length. Moreover, long overalls are most reminiscent of the Wild West style, while short overalls refer to a carefree childhood until the end of the 90s. How and with what to wear such an extraordinary model?
"Farmer" denim overalls. What to wear
As mentioned above, a long denim jumpsuit is most similar to the uniform of an American farmer. Indeed, dense denim fabric protects the body from dirt, possible minor damage, it is optimal for both heat and cold, and, most importantly, such an outfit is not a pity to stain. Jeans have long been considered a subject of American culture, so clothing made from such material is not a luxury item. Convenient straps allow you to quickly remove and put on overalls and not to smear all other clothes if you had to get dirty inadvertently. In other words, denim overalls in this case can no longer be called elegant clothes, rather it is a necessary wardrobe item.
However, modern designers revised their views on this unusual thing and created a very stylish image from a simple robe of the farmer . Denim overalls today have a more sophisticated silhouette, beautifully tailored trousers, small pockets. And now the question is urgent for everyone who has purchased the same denim overalls - what to wear with this original thing? And you can wear them with T-shirts or T-shirts, throwing wide straps right on top. The image will be trendy with t-shirts above the navel, slightly flared to the bottom or tight-fitting. And in order to emphasize the mood of the Wild West, you can complement the jumpsuit with a fashionable check shirt, flannel or cotton. Here are some more options for wearing jeans overalls (photo in the article).
As shoes, sports sneakers, platform sneakers or sneakers are suitable here. But, in no case, heels, sandals or ballet shoes.
Shorts for jumpsuits
What to wear with denim jumpsuit shorts? A jumpsuit with denim shorts is a great option for a summer outfit . Inspired by memories of the 90s and early 2000s, the style can be restored using only a few items of clothing. Firstly, these are T-shirts with characteristic prints: rare - with frames of the movie "Titanic", popular - with the heroes of Marvel comics, with characters from Disney cartoons. At the same time, a T-shirt or T-shirt with a length just below the chest looks stylish, opening the navel, which was very fashionable in those very years.
A square insert from the chest to the abdomen, to which the straps are attached, will hide everything you need, so do not worry about the fact that the image does not turn out too vulgar. Secondly, the best shoes for such an outfit are neat sneakers on a platform or wedge. To enhance the retro effect, you can wear funny socks or even bold leggings with them. Thirdly, the fashion of the 90s was unpretentious, and fashionistas were not too picky, so the choice of accessories was held under the motto "the more, the better." Today this rule is not entirely suitable, but it will not be superfluous to add several baubles-bracelets on your wrist or hang a stylish pendant on a long chain around your neck. And if you tie a bandana on your head, make a couple of funny ponytails and characteristic make-up, you can go to a theme party, remember the hits of the 90s, your favorite sweets and a fun childhood.
