Over Your Shoulders: The Dos and Don’ts of Black Overalls

An old favorite that continues to be worn by fashion lovers everywhere, black overalls are a must for your closet. Throw a white tee underneath or even a turtleneck sweater, the possibilities are endless when it comes to the tops you can style it with.

While wearing black overalls may seem like a simple task, there a few things you should remember when it comes to wearing one.

Do: Pick any top of your choice to style with your black overalls. Whether it’s a long-sleeved tee or a crop-top, different tops of almost any hue will coordinate perfectly with these dark overalls.

Don’t: Though it may be tempting, avoid stepping out in your black overalls paired with only a bra or even worse—completely nude. Overalls provide coverage over your torso, but not enough to cover up your chest. If you must venture out without a shirt, opt for a long bandeau or racerback sports bra that gives you more coverage.

Do: Style your black overalls with either both straps over your shoulder or with one hanging down by your side. It’s a simple difference, but each produces its own unique look depending on what style aesthetic you are trying to achieve.

Don’t: Avoid walking around with both straps of your black overalls hanging by your side. The last thing you want to do is have a wardrobe malfunction.

Do: Easily change the look of your black overalls with the shoes you pair with it. Dress it up with a pair of heels or stay casual and cool with high-top sneakers.

Don’t get caught up wearing this stylish piece in an unfashionable way. Follow these tips and you’ll appear chic and polished in your black overalls.

Stay stylish and comfortable in black overalls.
