This Season, You Need Easy and Functional Overalls in Your Wardrobe—These Are Best Ones, According to a Stylist

Rodriguez says that if there’s a pair of overalls that are worth the splurge, it’s hands-down Frame’s Black Le High Flare Overall. “They’re my favorite because it’s black denim and they have a little flare at the bottom there. This would be a good pick for date night, but it’s also just a great versatile overall,” says Rodriguez.

On Net-a-Porter, the piece is available in sizes extra small through large. Although that’s not a wide range of sizes, this is still a great pick because it’s stylish (thanks to the slight bell shape at the overall’s hem) and still functional, considering that it has two pack pockets, two front pockets, and two additional pockets on the bib of the garment. It also has adjustable straps, which allow you to go for a relaxed or cozy fit depending on your mood.

“If you want something more casual, something that you can wear if you’re just chillin’ or even running errands, I would do your classic Levi’s overall,” says Rodriguez. The beauty of a classic is that it’s also quite versatile, which means you can “wear this with sandals, sneakers, or slides,” Rodriguez adds. It allows the latitude for you to be comfortable while still looking like you at least tried to get yourself together.

The Levi’s overalls are made of 100 percent cotton, so they’re soft to the touch and offer a lot of comfort whether you’re laying around or are out and about. According to some Revolve reviewers, though, these overalls may not be true to size. Our advice is to check your measurements and refer to the website’s size guide, which you’ll see under the sizing on the product page.

These overalls from clothing company Lulus are what Rodriguez calls a “transitional piece,” which is to say that you can wear this piece during the day and then keep that same ‘fit for a night out. What Rodriguez loves about these, in particular, is that they’re made of faux leather, which is exactly what makes the day-to-night vibe to which she alludes.

This pair features adjustable straps as well as a straight leg cut—as opposed to a skinny cut or a flare, like in the Frame overalls. The faux leather is composed of half polyurethane and half polyester, so the feel of this is spongey rather than starchy. It also has three side buttons for easier closure and a snugger fit.

Sizes available: M, L, XL

“This one is perfect for fall, now that it’s getting a little chillier, because it’s a cord,” says Rodriguez, referring to the fact that this pair is made of corduroy. “A corduroy overall is also super cute and a great piece that you can incorporate in your wardrobe,” Rodriguez said of this pick.

I might just buy this for myself because I love the look that much. As overalls, they have the classic bib design on the chest as well as adjustable straps, but Free People made the design their own by adding a zipper to the bib. The leg fit is slim all the way down your thigh, but there’s also a bit of a flare at the hem. The back of this garment is also a bit different than the rest, as it cuts lower into the back—where there are no back pockets.

My roommate is a nanny, so she’s always looking for clothes that are comfortable and functional without sacrificing too much style. (After all, she likes to look good.) On a recent Target run, she got these black denim overalls and says she’s worn them at least once a week ever since. “I love that I have a bunch of pockets for when I pick up random things throughout the day,” she told me.

When I asked her to list her pros and cons for this garment, she said: “Pros are that they’re generally comfortable and go with pretty much everything in my closet. As far as cons, if your waist proportions aren’t close to your hip proportions, the fit on the lower back can be a little… unforgiving.”

Sizes available: 14W-30W

If you’re looking for a baggier option that’s also plus-size, it’d be worth considering this pair of Old Navy overalls. They go up to size 30, and they’re designed to be loose around the belly as well as the lower leg. Speaking of the leg, the pant part only goes down to right above the ankle, so this could be a good option for people who are on the shorter side as well.

According to the product page, these overalls are made of 100 percent cotton, five percent of which is recycled. There are also a number of pockets, including three thin ones on the bib area. The unique thing about this pair is that there’s also a patch pocket on the back leg. As a more classic piece, there are also adjustable straps at the shoulders.

I have to admit, targeted Instagram ads definitely got me here. I’d seen other Cider pieces every now and again, but it wasn’t until I started working on this list that Cider was officially on my radar. I was looking for overalls that one could dress up and saw this jumpsuit. I thought to myself, “Well, this is a jumpsuit—does it actually count?” According to Rodriguez, it does—because it has straps instead of a shirt-like top.

This is also a good option for colder months since it’s made of corduroy, too. Aside from being stylish, as evidenced by the bell bottoms and color options (seven total!), it also checks the functional box being that it has a bib pocket as well as adjustable straps. These aren’t the classic straps, though. Instead of a metal fastener, Cider’s overalls have a button and different slits on the straps to adjust the fit. And, they’re just $34—a total steal.

Being that one of my favorite pairs of jeans ever are GAP, I had high expectations of this pair of overalls. I’m glad to report that the slouchy overalls did not disappoint. They fully deliver on their promise of being slouchy, which makes them more comfy than chic. Even so, though, I was able to dress them up a bit with a nice white crop top and some New Balance sneakers for my recent four-hour drive to Vegas. I was so comfy in these overalls.

As I mentioned earlier, I’m a shorter girl at five feet, so I love that GAP offers a petite option. This was probably the only pair of overalls I’ve ever gotten that I didn’t have to take to get alterations. The pair comes with the leg cuffed, so I was a little worried that they’d be too long for me once I uncuffed them, but they fit like a glove. If you struggle with finding overalls whose length you don’t have to tailor, I’d definitely say these are worth the purchase.

Made out of 100 percent organic cotton, I knew I was going to feel like I was wearing a cloud when I put on the Swoveralls. They have adjustable straps, pockets on the back, front, and bib, and the bottom is made to resemble a jogger, meaning it’s not a loose fit around the ankle. I actually really like this because it makes it so that the extra fabric pools at the bottom instead of dragging along the floor. Get your regular size, but know that these are going to be on the looser side.

Really my only complaint about this is that it’s not cozier on the inside. I’m not sure why, but I was expecting these overalls to have some sort of fleece on the inside since they’re made for lounging. Even though they’re still straight-up cotton to the touch, they’re still extremely comfortable and were easy to stay in all day.

I decided to anoint Dickies Relaxed Fit Bib Overalls as the best for outdoor activities because while they’re not the sleekest, they are extremely functional. I got a large because I wanted a more relaxed fit, but I would actually suggest staying true to size because this pair is loose as is.

I love to garden, so this will likely be my go-to outfit for that activity because it has a lot of handy pockets for my misters, shears, and other gardening accessories. Plus, the material is thick, so I don’t think it’ll wear out easily. To be honest, though, I can also see this being a street-chic outfit with some gold hoops and lifestyle sneakers.

Sizes available: XS-2XL

For a truly classic, ’90s straight leg-style overall, we love Good American’s The Good ’90s Overall. Everything about this style is as practical as it is functional, from the front bib pocket to the adjustability throughout. To loosen up for tighten, simply tug on the adjustable straps. Unlike other styles, these are slightly oversized, so they’re extra comfortable—and great for lounging. Not that you can’t wear them out with some lug boots or heels (you absolutely should). Get them in blue denim, white, or bone (an off-white).
