my favorite piece in my closet.

  
  
  overalls: part toddler, part tom sawyer and huckleberry finn, and my favorite piece of clothing in my wardrobe. overalls have made a style comeback. they're incredibly comfortable and easy to wear. you can find a pair of overalls in almost every store right now. before you go out and buy a pair, here are some tips on finding the right fit and ways to style your pair of overalls. 

fit & wash 

fit and wash are key in finding a pair of overalls. overalls shouldn't fit too tight around your body, but they also shouldn't be too baggy. tight takes away the tomboy aspect, but too baggy makes them look childish and messy. the wash you choose is also important. i prefer a darker wash with my overalls because they look better on my short frame and work well in the winter and summer. go with a wash that you know looks good on your body when you buy a pair of jeans. black overalls are a great choice because they can be dressed up or down. they also work better on women into their middle 20s because of how polished they can be styled. 

styling tips

tops

simple and relaxed tops work best with a pair of overalls.
try: 1. a bohemian peasant blouses 2. a simple striped tees
 3. black tee shirt, long or short sleeved
4. a classic white button down 5. fun printed blouses 6. tunic tops
avoid: try to avoid plaid shirts and crop tops. if you don't want to look like a farmer,
don't wear a plaid shirt with your overalls. crop tops are often paired with overalls,
but i think you should try to avoid them with a pair of dungarees. keep your tops simple
or bohemian. 

shoes

   

in the winter, try pairing your overalls with a pair of black boots around
ankle height or a pair of oxfords. a pair of black flats would also
look cute paired with a black turtleneck under your overalls.

i'm looking forward to styling my new overalls in the summer because
of the shoe options.
1. simple, flat sandals: you can't go wring with a simple pair of
sandals. try a red, flat sandal with a striped tee or button down.
2. birkenstocks: birds look great with a pair of overalls in the summer.
white birks with black overalls creates a clean and graphic combination.
3. ankle-tied espadrilles: if you aren't short like me, try a pair of espadrille
wedges. pairing them with a white button down can make you feel very
jane birkin, and who wouldn't want to feel jane birkin?
