Sexy Overalls
From LoveToKnow Womens-Fashion
"Sexy overalls" probably isn't a phrase you overhear often, but it's a look you can create really easily. The best thing about overalls is their uncomplicated style, but they actually come in a variety of shapes. While overalls can be worn baggy and loose, with no makeup or even a bra, that's the extreme way to wear them. Why not try the opposite and go for something "femme fatale"? It's possible: here's how.
Know Overall Fit Basics
If you've never worn overalls, you'll probably be surprised at the way they fit. You'll enjoy wearing them after you get used to the feeling of wearing a jumpsuit-like garment, mostly because they are incredibly comfortable, even when styled in a sexier manner. However, you might find that overalls present some fit and style challenges, so try these tips to increase your sexiness whenever possible.
- Choose longer than normal shirts to wear underneath your overalls. Overalls have a unique side panel that can flash more than you'd like, even when you are trying to go sexy.
- Look for overalls with the right inseam length. If your pants are too short, you run the risk of getting a wedgie in the back, or having the straps come up too short on the body without room for adjustment.
- Look for overalls with appropriately-shaped front panels. If you have an ample bust, avoid a smaller front panel, which can make your bust look even larger, or disproportionate.
- Hunt down overalls in a medium-weight fabric. This will prevent your pants from showing off too many lumps and bumps, but it will also wear better over time and multiple washes. A medium-weight fabric will also allow you to wear your overalls in multiple seasons.
- Look for overalls with newer front clips. They might not be easy to find, but they will look more stylish from the front without all the extra metals findings.
- Check if your overalls have a special overlap underneath the button side clasps at the trouser sides.
- Buy a jumpsuit if overalls aren't sexy enough!
Style Your Sexy Overalls
Now that you have the perfect pair of nicely-fitting overalls, it's time to style them up sexy. Take an afternoon and experiment in your closet, and with a lot of different accessories. With a few hot looks under your belt, nobody will be able to deny your sexiness.
- Wear a slim-fitting, straight leg pair of modern overalls with high heels or multi-strap sandals. Aim on channeling Rihanna or Kim Kardashian with your new look.
- Try wearing your hair down long with your overalls, complete with a light touch of makeup. Just because you're wearing something technically casual doesn't mean you can't amp up the makeup a little.
- Play with cleavage-boosting bras and v-neck tops for a flash of skin, but make sure that they are long enough to avoid flashing too much skin.
- Try slim scarves or even a perfect-fitting baseball hat to add a quirky sexiness. Aim for brights with a feminine touch.
- Wear your overalls with a belt in the belt loops, with an expressive belt buckle, for a new look with a sexy Western vibe.
- Try a slimming pair of overalls worn with a pair of boots over. Tuck those trouser legs into your tall boots for a very sexy look.
- Practice wearing your sexy overalls so you don't look uncomfortable when you wear them.
- Push-up bras can make subtle, but sexy, changes to your particular look. Your figure will look leaner, and you will certainly have a bit more mystique hidden underneath that pair of sexy overalls.
