Women's Denim Overalls

Women's denim overalls might make you think of farmers, hard work, or shapeless silhouettes. While the country staple used to have a primarily unisex shape and appeal, they are now far more figure-flattering and fashion-conscious, appealing to a variety of tastes and budgets. Even if you think denim overalls couldn't possibly flatter you, you might be surprised at how many different cuts and styles there are, and for many different body shapes.

Challenge yourself to shop for a variety of women's overalls, even if you don't think you'll find a pair you love. Instead of assuming that you won't fit into a pair, test the waters by visiting a few special sites that carry denim overalls.

• Shopbop carries both full-length and denim overalls in a variety of styles for both the curvy and the slim woman. Take a look at some more progressive styles including overalls with a low-dip bib style, cropped overalls with special stonewashing, and white denim overalls with button sides.
• Hunt down more daring styles at Ssense, which include peg-leg denim trousers, strappy overalls with more modern cuts, and halter-top style overalls with a low cut front. Look carefully for denim overall skirts as well.
• Go to Forever 21 to check out dark denim overall coverall skirts and shorty sets at an affordable base. To try a high-low look, pair your overalls with a pair of more expensive heels from the likes of Louboutin, or something more middle-of-the-road like Steve Madden.
• Visit Yoox for regular sales and impressive discounts on designer overalls in a multitude of silhouettes. Look for some of the most stylish looks with full button fronts, dark denim, and wide-leg shapes. If you're feeling saucy, this style will look amazing with wedges and pumps. If you want something more unusual, you'll like the dark coverall versions that are more eclectic and unusual.
• Shop at Free People for cool overall shorts that can be worn by themselves or over leggings or tights. Play around with the shape and the layers, and don't be afraid to toss on a scarf or wrap on top. If you need a pair of overalls with a more relaxed shape, look for a pair of their ultra-slouchy styles that snap up the front.
• Access Chickdowntown for vintage-inspired snap-front overall looks that are pulled from direct '70s inspiration. While you could pair them with striped tights or shirts for a Mork and Mindy look that's interesting, intriguing, and daring, they'll go great with a golden (faux) tan and some shimmer.
• Look for a pair of denim overall pants complete with detachable suspenders. Your denim overalls should be comfortable, so this is a smart way to start trying them out. You can find great denim pants with detachable suspenders at Ron Herman.

When you put on your overalls, don't be afraid to get daring! Eighties inspiration is extremely popular, and you can play it up or down with cool accessories and great belts. By choosing colors that naturally flatter you, no one will be the wiser!

No matter with what you pair your overalls, you should feel comfortable in them. They shouldn't give you a wedgie, they shouldn't bind or chafe, and you should feel sexy in them like you would feel in any other pair of denim pants for daytime. When you pair your sexy overalls with heels and a clutch, you should feel like you can head out on the town—and if you don't, keep shopping for the right pair. A good first bet is a pair of dark overalls or an overall jumpsuit with a wide-leg silhouette and a snap front, and then you can build on your wardrobe from there. Who knows? You might build up a great collection of women's denim overalls after all!
