Not Just For the Swing Set Set
It’s time to revisit your childhood’s signature bibbed trousers because overalls were all over the spring runway. Jason Wu, Ruffian and 3.1 Phillip Lim took some style inspiration from the farmers’ fields as well as generation Y’s R&B-inspired wardrobe as overalls of all colours, fabrics and styles walked the catwalk.
Street style darlings were also spotted wearing onesies, lending the look grown-up flair by pairing them with silk blouses, tees, button ups and even denim shirts. Sneakers, strappy sandals or pumps polish things off. Browse 10 pairs of our favourite overalls and decide if you’ll be wearing the classic denim or a patterned surprise.
