Overall Outfits: Summer Linen
One of my favorite things about summertime has to be linen overalls. Linen is a little bit more high maintenance than most materials, but is so breathable and comfy. With the summer heat and endless amounts of activities, I believe in the importance of a comfortable romper.
Summer Overall Outfits
A romper takes all of the benefits of wearing a dress, like not having to match your top with your pants, being able to just throw it on and walk out the door, and looking put together even if you got ready in five minutes, without the cons of making sure it doesn’t ride up and show anything, or if the wind blows and your dress catches it.
Besides having to go to the bathroom, the overall is the best one piece garment to have in your wardrobe. Believe it or not, this is actually the only overalls I own at the moment. All of the other overalls I have seen seem to be too formal for me. There are tons of great overalls or rompers out there for a night out, but what I love about this one is that it’s casual, cute, and perfect for a hot summer day.
How To Style Your Overalls
In this look, I decided to wear it completely solo and not steal any attention away from the well deserved pair of overalls. These overalls are so cute and classic on their own, that I didn’t really have to accessorize or dress them up very much.
I paired one of my favorite strapless mustard yellow bralettes underneath because the side drops down pretty low, and then added my favorite pair of platform van sneakers and called it a day.
I truly believe that sometimes less is more, especially when it comes to fashion. It can be super easy to over due it and keep adding more jewelry and more flare and by the end of it you look like a wreck. I always like to have my clothing speak for itself and not overdo it when it comes to accessories.
What I do love about overalls, is that there is so much styling to be done. People automatically think that overalls are super loud and therefor you have to do a simple shirt underneath no matter what, but that isn’t the case! Some of my favorite outfits have been when bloggers and stylist put a crazy shirt underneath their overalls such as an extreme pattern or print or even ruffles. Check out some of these looks:
- Ruffled Sleeves With Overalls
- Short Sleeve Ruffles With Overalls
- Off The Shoulder With Overalls
- Button Down With Overalls
Where to Shop for Overalls
Another great thing about this romper is that it was from Forever 21, so we all know the price tag couldn’t have been super hefty. The romper was actually under $20 and was one of the best steals I found all summer.
Not only do these overalls come in this gorgeous sandy brown color, they also carry it in black and amber. To be completely honest I am tempted to purchase all three colors.
My favorite overall brand of all time is Second Skin Overalls by Danielle Bernstein, which makes sense because Danielle is my favorite blogger of all time and was very influential to me when I started my own blog.
The fact that she was able to create such a successful brand, soley based off of overalls, shows how important a great pair of overalls or a jumpsuit is to your wardrobe. Danielle is implying that you can and should be wearing overalls on a daily or weekly basis.
