How To Wear Overalls At The Office

If you don’t already own a great pair of overalls, now is your chance. From baggy to leather to distressed, we’re here to tell you why these widely popular throwback pants have permanently made their way into our wardrobes, including our workwear.

Call us crazy, but we see no reason why this ultra comfy trend from our childhoods shouldn’t be supported beyond Saturday and Sunday. Although they might not work for every work dress code, here’s how to wear overalls in the office without getting a pink slip.

Do: Skinny Silhouettes

The simplest and most sophisticated way to wear this season’s staple is by opting for a sleek, skinny leg. Pair them with a silk blouse or crewneck sweater and a classic heel, and you’ll look perfectly on-point for your 9-5.

Don’t: Embrace Embellishments

While patchwork and patterns add a nice pop to your off-duty outfits, when it comes to workwear steer clear of overalls in prints–they’ll come off looking childish.

Do: Leather

Equal parts edgy and effortless, leather overalls will not only elevate your office uniform to street style status, but look sophisticated and sexy. Look for a pair in basic black to mirror the look of leather leggings. Style with a crisp button down and moto boots or a chambray shirt and loafers.

Don’t: Go Baggy

The most comfortable style to own unfortunately won’t work for the office–whether it’s corporate or creative. Avoid sloppy-looking boyfriend jean styles and find a figure-flattering flare silhouette instead.

It’s time to take this tomboy trend from the weekend to work without worry. Whether you’re addicted to overalls or buying your first pair, one thing’s for sure: we’ve got you covered.

Embrace this comfy staple beyond Saturday and Sunday.
