Here are some tips for properly fitting and wearing bib overalls:
Choosing the Right Size
- Overalls should fit snugly at the waist, but not too tight. You should be able to fit 1-2 fingers between the bib and your body14.
- The legs should be long enough to cover your ankles, but not drag on the ground. Cuff them if needed14.
- If you're between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit1.
Styling Tips
-
Pair overalls with a slim-fitting top like a tank, tee or turtleneck to balance the loose fit on bottom1.3
-
Heels or ankle boots help elongate the legs and create a more flattering silhouette1.3
-
Accessorize with a belt, jewelry, or a denim jacket tied around the waist for a stylish look1.3
- Avoid pairing overalls with plaid shirts, cowboy boots or other overly "country" pieces to steer clear of a farmer vibe12.
Adjusting the Fit
- The bib should sit comfortably on your chest, not too high or low1.
-
Tighten or loosen the adjustable straps to get the perfect fit at the shoulders1.3
-
Unclip one or both straps and wear them down for a more casual, relaxed look.3
Insulated Overalls for Cold Weather
