Dungarees, overalls, strappy little jumpsuit things — whatever you want to call ’em, this classic denim staple is indeed trending for summer 2022. After Blake Lively wore a pair while visiting Martha Stewart’s farm and Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a black alternative for school pickup, Google searches for the fashion trend skyrocketed, with people curious about versions from specific brands, such as Everlane, Levi’s, or Old Navy, or cuts, including short overalls. Yet, while there are plenty of versions to shop, the question of how to style them still remains. How do you wear dungarees or overalls without looking like you’re heading off to preschool?
No offense to toddlers (those kids really do have some great clothes!), but we’d like the option to wear this onesie-ish design in a way that feels elevated, fresh, and not so juvenile. So, we’re turning to celebrities and street style for a bit of guidance and overalls outfit ideas. Check out the tips we’ve gathered, ahead.
Think Comfortable
Part of the appeal of dugarees is that they’re easy to throw on and move around in. Lean into the comfort factor by pairing your own with an oversized graphic sweatshirt and sneakers, just like Sophie Turner.
Find Your Fit
Although some prefer to keep their overalls baggy, a more tailored fit is a quick way to ensure your outfit feels more elevated. Opt for a slim-fit pair that hits right at your ankles, then dress it up or down to your liking — without worrying whether it looks too lax.
Go the Classic Route
If you’ve run out of overalls outfit ideas or are in rush, a blue pair styled with a white tee and white sneakers is always a fresh combination. Just ask Jennifer Garner, who clearly gave the look her stamp of approval.
