Gihuo Women’s Casual Baggy Overalls
Overall, these overalls are the best
We all have days where the idea of putting pants on is too much, but we still do need to get dressed and look presentable. For those days, we suggest these Gihuo overalls. They are still stylish, but in a comfy way that ensures you feel great while wearing them. They are made of cotton linen, which means they’re soft, but they’re also machine-washable (as long as you do so on a delicate, cold cycle). They feature two big slant pockets as well as a chest pocket and two back pockets for anything you may need to keep close to you.
Pros:
- Comfortable, baggy fit
- Adjustable straps
- Wide legs
- Classic colors
Cons:
- Thinner than expected
Luvamia Women’s Casual Stretch Denim Overalls
Stretch is key
Whoever decided to start making jeans with stretch in them deserves an award. It is one of the best things to happen to pants, and it’s one of the reasons why we love these denim bib overalls so much. They have a casual slim fit that is flattering and works well whether you want to dress them up with some heels or dress them down with a t-shirt. They are a boyfriend fit (meaning they are looser) and have rips on them for added character. The adjustable straps make them a great option no matter how tall you are.
Pros:
- Stretchy
- Can dress up or down
- Come in a variety of colors and styles
Cons:
- The fit isn’t as consistently good as we’d hope for
Utyful Women’s Adjustable Straps Denim Bib Overalls Shorts
A warm-weather take on overalls
As much as we would love to wear overalls year-round, the reality of it is that hot weather and long pants do not always work well together. And that’s where overall shorts come in. These from Utyful are a great hot-weather take on overalls that will have you looking stylish while staying cool. They are stretchy and feature legs you can roll up for some added style points. Perfect for a casual night out or a day on the beach, you’ll find yourself wearing these overalls much more than you expected. And as a bonus, the functional pockets will fit your phone and other accessories.
Pros:
- Stretchy
- Cool enough for warm, muggy days
- Lots of pockets
Cons:
- Run small

They feature Carhartt’s Rugged Flex technology, which is a durable stretch design that allows for ease of movement and ensures that the overalls keep their shape over time. The front bib pocket has a zipper pocket that is great for storing any gear or electronics, and the double-front knees will stay strong, even through tough jobs.
Pros:
- A trusted, quality brand name
- Stretch technology that keeps its shape
- Pockets with zipper features

Dickies Women’s Denim Bib Overall
Why mess with a classic?
Sometimes the original is the best, and that may be the case with these Dickies overalls. They are no-frills overalls that give you just what you’re looking for when you think of this outfit. Made of 100% cotton demic, they are sure to be comfortable and breathable, and also easy to wash. They feature ScruffGard that helps to prevent wear and tear, since you may be wearing these things every day.

Their reinforced double-needle stitching assures you that these babies will hold up.
Pros:
- Classic style
- ScruffGuard keeps them strong
- Fashionable and functional
Cons:
- Not much shape to them
Frequently Asked Questions
What size of overalls should I get?
Different overalls run a bit differently in terms of size, but a good general rule is to order overalls that are four inches wider in the waist than your normal pant size. You may also want to get overalls that are on the shorter side, as they tend to run long and have a lower crotch in them.
Should overalls be tight or loose?
The answer to this depends on your personal preference. Some overalls will fit tightly, and some overalls will fit more loosely. If you plan on working in your overalls, opt for looser ones. But if you’re buying overalls strictly for fashion, then tighter ones may be the way to go.
How do you break in overalls?
Sometimes when you buy overalls they’re stiff and need to be broken in. The best way to do this is by washing them and adding one cup of white vinegar to the wash. The vinegar will help soften the pants and make them fit better.
