Overalls are one of the most fun and versatile trends to try this summer — seriously! The playful look can go from a casual day at the beach, to a weekend shopping trip to a night out on the town with just a few simple swaps.
Start by looking for a shorts pair in a light, chambray fabric instead of classic denim. This vintage-inspired style helps them feel more fashion than farmer and works like a charm with these three looks.
1. Beach
For an unexpected twist on the trend, try your overalls as a coverup over your swimsuit. To take your look from the beach to the boardwalk, add punchy accessories like mirrored sunglasses and a colorful raffia bag along with sporty white sneakers (also a huge shoe trend!) to complete the look.
2. Bohemian
There's no lack of boho-chic looks floating around this season and overalls naturally lend themselves to this relaxed style. To pull off this look, go monochromatic in creams and tans and use your accessories to mix in organic details. And forget the notion that you can only wear tops underneath your overalls. By layering a light sweater, you'll instantly turn them into shorts!
3. Party
For a night out on the town, dress up overalls with rocker-inspired staples like a muscle T-shirt and serious stilettos, but remember to balance out the edginess of the look with more ladylike items like a white blazer and a rose gold clutch. It may seem like the kitchen sink of fashion (between mixing all of the various styles), but it magically works!
