Trying to figure out how to wear overalls? Here are six cute outfits to help you figure how to wear them, plus this really fantastic pair of overalls.
Some tips for how to wear overalls
Overalls are a fun outfit option for spring and summer! If you’re trying to figure out how to wear overalls, I’ve got a few really simple outfit formulas below.
The overalls I’m wearing
I found these really cute overalls and I’m in love with the fit. A nice slim cut, comfortable but sturdy denim, and the darker wash makes them really versatile.
I’m wearing a size 4R and they’re perfect. I typically wear a size 26 in jeans.
Check out these 6 simple ways to wear overalls
Overalls Outfit Formula #1: Long sleeve tee + nice flats
If you want to keep your overalls outfit casual, choose a simple t-shirt (you could do long sleeve, short sleeve, or half sleeve).
For shoes, choose a pair of flats or loafers that are a little bit on the nicer side to help your outfit feel sophisticated instead of schlumpy.

Overalls Outfit Formula #2: Flutter Sleeve Blouse
Overalls are really casual, so wearing them with a nicer top is a simple way to dress up your entire outfit.
A flutter sleeve or ruffled sleeve blouse is a perfect top option. This yellow one is so cute and well made.

Overalls Outfit Formula #3: EYELET TOP
A delicate eyelet top is a perfect contrast to denim overalls.
Choose sophisticated shoes to match the dressiness level of the top — something like a pointed flat, a loafer, or an oxford.

Overalls Outfit Formula #4: CHUNKY SWEATER + CHELSEA BOOTS
Can you do a sweater underneath overalls? YES. YOU. CAN. Choose something slightly heavy or chunky so the sweater doesn’t get overpowered by the overalls.
You can also do boots with overalls! I tried on tan and black, and black felt much more balanced with the dark wash overalls.

Overalls Outfit Formula #5: FEMININE SWEATSHIRT
An easy option for cool days is a sweatshirt! Choose something a little more feminine, like this one with puffed sleeves, and finish the outfit with feminine accessories.
I did cute printed flats, earrings, and a headband.

Overalls Outfit Formula #6: ADD A CARDIGAN OVER THE TOP
You can absolutely layer jackets or sweaters or even blazers over the top of your overalls!
I chose a long cozy cardigan and paired it with a basic bodysuit under the overalls (un-snapped for maximum comfort!) and a pair of sneakers.
