Fundamentals of Styling Overalls
Fortunately for all the fall lovers, overalls are a piece inherently made to layer! They pair just as well with a cute bralette in the summer as they do with a chunky sweater in the fall weather.
From tights to turtlenecks to crop tops, overalls can be a cute way to use those back-of-the-closet pieces you lack the inspiration to wear. That’s why I love to layer, tie, cuff, and accessorize my overall outfits!
Over and above the layering, overalls are a piece that transcends any particular style. They can be worn with loose silhouettes and accessories for a boho look, a thick belt, and boots for an edgier style, or with a crop top and sandals for a fresh-off-the-beach vibe.
A classic staple piece, a good pair of denim overalls are timeless, well-made, and will last you a lifetime! They’re a great investment piece for your college (and beyond) wardrobe.
