Overalls have come a long way since the 1940s when they became popular with women entering the manufacturing sector en masse. The denim-bib style that was once the working person’s uniform has evolved into an easy-wearing, one-and-done wardrobe staple (much like the denim jumpsuit) for the fashionably inclined. The reason, we’d venture to guess, is that these layerable pieces make for ideal year-round wear — especially in the autumn. Those dreary fall days when you don’t know what to pair with your sweater — overalls. An upcoming visit to the pumpkin patch or any fall festivities — overalls. Therefore, readers upgrade your fall fashion wishlists with a new pair of overalls or two.
Whether it’s the rugged ease of a classic denim version or the sumptuous softness of a joyful printed corduroy, this utility-chic tog has seized us with a shopping fever that we won’t shake until we’ve found the perfect pair. While classic brands like Dickies are still turning out sturdy workwear iterations in basic blues, blacks, and whites, newer overall styles can now be found in every conceivable fabrication. Not to mention reader-favorite retailers like Anthropologie, Madewell, and Nordstrom stock a veritable who’s-who of the coolest brands and pairs. Click through to see all the best overalls.
