There was a time in the early to mid 90′s when overalls made a huge splash in mainstream fashion (which, I will say, was directly inspired by a style worn by popular hip-hop artists of time. Isn’t it funny how hip-hop always dictates what we wear? I mean, every boy used to sag his pants… some, unfortunately, still do. They certainly didn’t come up with that style themselves!)
Anyway, I had a pair of overalls back then. They were from The Gap. And they were awesome.
If overalls decided to make their triumphant return… I would totally wear them. For realz! I would be in the front of the line at my local Zara buying the cutest pair of dark wash, “professionally” worn, slightly baggy overalls. Even though overalls are admittedly ugly and don’t exact highlight my feminine physique they are still wonderful.
Do you have an overalls story? Would you ever wear overalls if they came back in fashion?
Stumble It!

Natalia would look amazing wearing a garbage bag tied up around her waist with frayed rope and day old spaghetti and meatball leftovers as straps.
Oh I soo Would!
hope you have a lovely week ahead!

I used to wear shorts overalls…basically a jumper. My favorite one was a pink and white checkered one that I wore on my first roadtrip to Santa Barbara for a dog show! I wish I could still fit them because they were great
Wow, she looks so chic!! xx
oh i would wear them. but i think they would have to be shorts… and rolled. i think that could be cute. xx
Me too! Yes, I would wear them too. Overalls and dungarees… I do have one, but it looks too early 90s (and is green…), will have to look for a new one!
I have had short overalls, but I love this idea of a long overall. In fact, now that I am thinking, I have a pink corduroy overall.

B* a la Moda
Almost a bit funny that you chose an icon with such an item. I’d love to wear some too but I’d love to see a rough twist on them.
The last time I attempted to even try on overalls my daughters told me I looked like a plumber so the answer to that would be …….NO! Desides the only middle aged woman to even look remotely cute in overalls was Shirley McLain in Steel Magnolias.
it was always a problem going to the bathroom! haha
From a guys perspective Overalls can be really cute in a “I’m not sure why that’s hot but I dig it” sort of way
overalls! I used to wear them ALL the time as a kid. I love the idea of them — so easy and comfy!
Such a sexy pic!

I remember overalls from the 90′s. Actually, in England, tey were in style a few years ago. People used to wear them like normal jeans and leve the sleeve bit hanging down. We looked so cool, lol.
I would wear them if I found the perfect pair! Unfortunately back when the trend emerged, I couldn’t find one that I liked.
But I do wish the baggy jeans trend for men would die. I unfortunately do still know enough guys who think it’s cool to have the jeans pocket hit the back of your knees
Overalls came back for a very brief amount of time my frosh year of highschool. I had a pair. I wore them with a white spaghetti-strap tank top. and those awful slip on white sneakers. Looking back, I must’ve looked like an infant but… this boy who liked me always wanted me to wear that outfit. Prob bc of the tank. xo
I would totally wear them. Why? Because I have a mild obsession with overalls; and wore them for years and years as a child. I’m sorry…they’re cute!!
Sorry, pregnancy ruined them for me.
When I was younger, I was obsessed with overalls. In grade 5, they were the only pants I wore. I had them in all colours – lime green, turquoise, hot pink. The epitome of fashionista. lol
I never caught on to the overall trend….
Hmm well I was either nonexistent or an little toddler in the early nineties, so I think my wardrobe mainly was overalls and variations of such.
I think I might just try them, in a sort of Jane Birkin way…? Hmm it’d be quite interesting
Haha I used to love wearing overalls as a kid =) Great picture!
I had a denim overall dress I believe. But I think my actual overalls were khaki…so long ago.
I might revisit, if the pair is right, it’s gotta be perfect and the ones I tried never were, hence me going with the khakis.
Hi Clare, I suppose if you look on my blog, you will know my answer ! I love overalls so much that I have made it into my main theme on my blog and invented an international overalls day ! so please take a look and join the growing overalls community ! lets make it into default dress code !:)
