When we think of overalls, 90’s flashbacks come to mind. The tomboy/worker/uniform trend, however, has been evolving… The modern take on overalls is a fun and cool alternative, offering a variety of shapes, structures and textures. Fashionistas all over NYC and Paris make the look seem effortless, but we must warn you that the trend can be tricky. Although it is a matter of finding your own interpretation, we do have some ideas for your overall look.
TIP 1 : Keep the accessories to a minimum. When it comes to overalls, it’s better to stay away from any unnecessary details as the look itself is already eye-catching. Depending on the type of a garment, a simple clutch or a pair of heels is enough. A metallic finish or a jewelry piece can add an interesting touch as well. One statement accessory will do.
TIP 2 : Cut and color. The hemline can a make a difference in creating the look. Finding a flattering fit is crucial. Whether opting for a longer slimmer style or a wider leg, the key is to maintain the balanced look by pairing it with a basic top and platforms or heels, creating the illusion of an elongated silhouette.
TIP 3 : Style and Fabric : Jumpsuit or a dress, consider the fabric structure. Fashion brands offer a variety of options and designs made of leather, denim and cotton. Whether you’re going for an oversized or sleek look, make sure the fabric texture of the overalls is consistent with the rest of your clothing. Such as opting for a ‘leather choice’, pairing the style with a silky blouse or button down, and a pair of sneakers.
Bring a unique twist into your wardrobe with this cool trend!
