What may have begun as a preschool love affair, overalls are making their way back into our sartorial lexicon. And perhaps that’s the exact reason why these pieces have made a resurgence: They remind us of simpler times. Overalls are reminiscent of days spent on the playground without a care in the world, where the only rules were to have fun and be nice. If bringing back that kind of joy through an article of clothing is wrong, we certainly don’t want to be right. Equal parts comfy, cute, and versatile, plus-size overalls are a must-have in any season.
During warmer months, you can’t go wrong with a pair of overalls thrown over just about anything—from crop tops to bikinis. These pieces serve as the ideal layering piece that won’t have you sweating up a storm. If temperatures are too hot to bear, simply wear your favorite bralette and a pair of loose-fitting overalls. Or, use overalls as a one-stop-shop swimsuit cover-up. You can head straight to dinner after hanging by the pool all day without having to rush home and change. A win-win situation? You bet.
Of course, when the weather gets colder, overalls are still a must. Layer a pair over your coziest turtleneck or a cropped sweater. Just add cute sock boots and you’re good to go. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, there’s no wrong time to wear a pair of overalls.
From classic denim styles to unexpected prints, there’s a little something for everyone (and every style). Find a pair that makes you feel like your carefree five-year-old self, and go from there. And if you happen upon a playground while you’re at it? Don’t forget to stop and reminisce.
