You can style overalls in various ways. By pairing them with shades of white, brown, or prints, they become an iconic piece of your bohemian style, which you can enhance with plenty of accessories.

The Jumpsuit: An Iconic Piece of Bohemian Style

Like jeans, overalls are one of those garments that have been reinvented over time, evolving from a practical and durable workwear outfit to a distinctive and bohemian piece. When styled carefully, they can quickly become the focal point of a super trendy outfit!

How to Achieve a Boho Chic Look with Overalls?

To achieve a true bohemian style, I recommend selecting a pair of overalls in either denim or a natural color from the key shades of boho fashion, which are:

• ecru,
• camel,
• beige,
• white,
• brown…

Additionally, lightly faded or distressed denim shades are perfect for giving you a relaxed and stylish summer look.

To complete your look, pair your overalls with similar shades to create a beautiful gradient of warm colors, denim, and off-white tones, which perfectly embodies the bohemian chic style.

👉 Feel free to choose loose-fitting styles that you can hike up the legs by rolling the fabric. This will give you a natural and spontaneous look, true to this fashion trend.

What to Wear Under Your Overalls for a Bohemian Look?

To maintain that chic bohemian style and highlight your overalls, I recommend pairing them with a simple top, free of embellishments. In summer, you can choose a crop top or a basic t-shirt with a lovely floral print. A blouse or a tunic would be a perfect choice to keep you a bit warmer during the transitional season: feel free to nod to the hippie chic trend by opting for styles with embroidered details, customizations, or beautiful patterns.

What Shoes and Accessories Should You Choose?

To complete your look, feel free to pair it with some simple natural leather shoes, whether it’s sandals for summer or ankle boots for winter. Don’t forget the accessories that will make your style unique:

• sunglasses,
• a hat that matches the colors of your outfit,
• a woven, straw, or leather bag,
• a large shawl to drape over your shoulders to keep warm…

Feeling vintage? Embrace the 90s look!

Do you love revisiting the fashion of past decades? Enjoy thrift shopping for a style that’s uniquely yours? If so, the grunge look from the 1990s is perfect for you! Let’s uncover its secrets together! 😉

What Type of Overalls to Wear to Recreate 1990s Style?

To wear overalls like our older sisters or our moms, I recommend opting for a classic style that is fairly straight and on the darker side. For a slightly grunge look, you might choose a pair that appears a bit worn or customized, featuring embroidery that suggests homemade repairs.

What to pair it with?

To fully embrace this look, don’t hesitate to wear plenty of accessories and statement jewelry! For shoes, you can choose slightly worn white low-top sneakers or a pair of wedge ankle boots for a slightly edgier vibe.

Under your overalls, you can wear a simple black or white crop top, or a t-shirt with graphics, perhaps featuring a band from that era! To keep warm on top, embrace the androgynous side of this look by borrowing a shirt from the men’s section or wearing a slightly oversized wool jacket!

👉 For the finishing touch, consider adopting a cute hairstyle that captures the essence of the 1990s: high pigtails, sleek braids, a bun…

How to Wear Overalls While Staying Chic?

Would you like to wear overalls but want to maintain a stylish and feminine look? Let me share my secrets with you in the following lines!

How to Choose a Stylish Overalls Outfit?

Choose a pair of overalls that are fitted, well-tailored, and fall perfectly over your hips and just above your ankles. If necessary, you can have a hem and alterations done by a tailor to ensure the garment fits your body shape perfectly. Ideally, avoid ripped and faded styles and opt for colors like dark denim or black to achieve a polished look.

For this style, it’s best to choose a simple, solid-colored overall that elongates your legs and doesn’t gape at the neckline.

What to wear it with for a dressed-up and feminine look?

To style your overalls, focus on the contrast between this casual fashion piece and smart and fitted clothing. A well-fitted blouse or shirt with refined and delicate details will work perfectly, as will a solid white top or a classic striped tee.

When it comes to shoes, it’s time to pull out a pair of heels to showcase your legs. Whether you’re choosing pumps, ankle boots, or sandals, go for neutral shades and make sure they are in good condition and perfectly clean.

Finally, complete your outfit with a nice handbag that matches your shoes and the rest of your attire. A structured and elegant design will be perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to your look!

Can You Wear Overalls as Evening Wear?

Are you looking for a unique outfit for a formal event (wedding, cocktail party, celebration…) and wondering if you can wear overalls for the occasion? While it is possible, as we’ve seen, to style overalls in a chic way, I would advise against choosing this garment for an event with a strict dress code. Unless the event allows for fairly casual attire, overalls are not suitable as evening wear.

However, if you want to achieve a dynamically modern style that gives you the appearance of an elegant and sexy woman, I recommend you go for a jumpsuit. Like overalls, it has a bit of an androgynous vibe and stands apart from princess dresses. However, it is more sophisticated than the latter and will beautifully enhance your silhouette!

The Overall Dress: A Cute and Feminine Outfit for Mid-Season

The overall dress is a super cute and very feminine alternative to the classic overall. It can be worn on a daily basis for a girls’ day out, to work, or for a lovely family day.

Embrace it in the spring or fall, paired with a long-sleeve top with a high collar or even an oversized sweater. Once the nice days arrive, you can wear it with a matching t-shirt.

When it comes to color matching, here’s how to go about it:

• with a colorful overall dress, opt for a solid top in black or dark colors,
• with a dark overall dress, go for a top that provides contrast, colorful yet solid,
• and with a light overall dress, you can choose either a dark or light top, but always make sure it contrasts slightly with the dress. The top can have some simple patterns.

👉 For a flawless look, here’s my secret: always match your top or jumpsuit with your shoes!

The Overalls Shorts: Perfect for Staying Active in the Summer!

Like the romper, the shorts version of the overall is perfect for anyone looking for a comfortable and durable outfit for summer! You can pair it with sneakers or sandals and a simple, lightweight top such as a crop top.

Opt for a light or faded denim shade, which will complement the seasonal colors and enhance your tan. For a cool and sporty look, feel free to detach a strap from your overalls. 😉

👉 Shortening the legs is a great way to give a second life to a classic pair of overalls that you’ve grown tired of or that are starting to show wear! If you enjoy customizing, go for it! 😉
