Never in a million years did I think I would be wearing overalls in my twenties. It's funny that style is is constantly a revolving door and lately the 90's have been making a huge comeback!
Today I want to share some Do's and Don'ts for overall styling. Unfortunately, these tips did not apply to me when I wore mine back in grade school =P
- DO: Select an alternate color, like black rather, than the denim blue when choosing your overalls.
- DON'T: Select a multi-color tie dye fabric unless you're dressing up as a groovy 70's hipster for a costume party. * Bonus style tip: if you want a splash of color, add a few cute patches to your overalls (see here).
- DO: Choose a tapered leg for a more up-to-date vibe.
- DON'T: Go for bell bottoms or a very shredded hem, you may be mistaken for a scarecrow in your neighbour's yard!
- DO: Play with your straps. Wear one strap or both straps down by your waist (see above) for a more relaxed look.
- DON'T: Let the sides of your body suit or underwear show if you opt to try styling this way.
- DO: Play with layering. Adding a fun coat or sassy bomber over top of your overalls can really change up your look and add dimension.
- DON'T: Layer underneath your overalls. The last thing you want is to look like the abominable snowman with bulky layers!
- DO: Have fun with your accessories. The right hat or sunglasses can really elevate the chicness of your styled overalls.
- DON'T: Overdo your accessories. The overall straps are almost an accessory themselves, therefore you don't want your jewelry or accessories to compete with your outfit.
On a side note, have any of you seen La La Land? This photoshoot was taken at one of the bridges (Colorado Street Bridge) they filmed at, for any of you movie buffs out there!

Ooo I love this post for two reasons! 1. I really love when fashion comes back around and have wanted some overalls for ages and 2. You mentioned LA LA land! I haven't seen it yet but so I want to. I love that they filmed scenes at the Observatory too! Great tip about getting a tapered pair, I think that is key. I hope you have a great week lovely xx
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit and photos!

I am way too old for overalls to be honest as I am almost 40 so it's a trend that I wisely skipped. You look so lovely with it though and I love that you shared great tips on how to style an overall.

These are actually really helpful tips! I've worn overalls once and my boyfriend made fun of me lol. Though I definitely think I styled them wrong. And it's also my opinion that guys really hate overalls and high waisted shorts lol. Anyway, this look is super cute on you and you absolutely nail it. I agree that choosing a colour like black works more. I think overalls can either look totally insane, or really cute and trendy. You just have to wear them right! :)

So many great do's and dont's for an overall! They are so chic and I can't wait to wear mine when it gets a bit warmer again! Love the idea of buying one in alternative colors. I have two in denim, but thinking a silver metallic pair would be too awesome. And go crazy and do it with neon hahah. Well well, love how you've kept the styling here. The hat makes a great accessory and love the shoes too. You manage to look classic and contemporary, which is a perfect balance!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a lovely week babe! Xx
