12 best overalls for women and how to style them

Fashion trends from the ’90s are coming back with a vengeance, and none of them are more fun than overalls. But rather than the boxy, oversized overalls of the decade coming out of your mom’s closet, today’s overalls are sleek and chic.

The Shop TODAY team got some insight on how to pull off the trend, where to find perfect overalls and how to customize your favorite pair from Stitch Fix stylist Stephanie Valponi.

Why are overalls trendy again?

Overalls are a classic fashion that seem to come back every few decades. In fact, you probably have photos of yourself as a kid or adult wearing overalls in the ’80s or ’90s.

“This season, we are seeing this classic piece reemerge in a big way,” Valponi said. “Over the last year, comfort and functionality have become the priority within fashion. Overalls deliver on the promise of comfort and every body, age or style can take advantage of this trend.”

How can someone style overalls to look more chic?

Adding in your personal style is the best way to style overalls, according to Valponi. “Once you’ve narrowed down the silhouette you are looking for (ie.straight, skinny, bootcut), I then recommend checking how the waist is constructed. For example, zippers on the side (rather than buttons) will skim your figure,” she explained.

For a more fashion-forward look, Valponi suggests a solid color like white that will pair well with delicate jewelry and a pair of fun shoes. If you’re still on the fence about trying out the overall trend, consider throwing on an overall dress, especially over the summer months when pants are too hot to wear (and bear).

What are some things you can wear with overalls to make an outfit more exciting?

Your options are really limitless when it comes to pairing garments with your overalls. “Are you leaning towards a relaxed boho aesthetic? Then opt for an off-the-shoulder peasant blouse or, better yet, an eye-catching puffer sleeve! To further accentuate, you can leave one suspender hooked for an effortless combo,” said Valponi.

How can someone personalize their overalls to match their unique style?

“Overalls are the perfect foundational piece, allowing you to infuse your personality as you style,” Valponi explained. “Use this opportunity to play with accessories already in your closet. For example, did you try out the bucket hat trend last year? Good news, it isn’t going anywhere this summer and is a great option with some casual sneakers. Bandanas are a fun twist you can add loosely tied around your neck or pull back your hair. Don’t be afraid to infuse your creativity. From vintage iron-on patches to playful buttons, you can incorporate everything from floral designs to meaningful phrases.”

If you really want to personalize your overalls with patches, embroidery or distressing, consider finding a vintage pair at a thrift store. Not only is this a sustainable fashion choice, but it’s also cheaper than buying a new pair of overalls if you mess up something.
