Wide Strap Wide Leg Denim Overalls in Blue

Overalls are the least complicated thing you can own. There is no waistband decision, no top to match and no belt to find. You step in, pull the straps up and the outfit is finished. These take the idea wide in both directions: wide straps across the shoulder and a wide leg from the hip down, which is a far more flattering combination than the narrow strap version most people picture.

The fabric is 85% cotton and 15% polyester and it is slightly stretchy, which matters in a one piece because the garment has to move with your whole body at once rather than in halves. They are pocketed. Sizes run small through 2XL. The waist opens from 30.7 inches on a small to 39.4 inches on a 2XL, the hip from 41.3 to 50 inches, and the bottom length runs 53.1 to 55.9 inches. That length is the number to check against your own height before choosing, since a wide leg that pools at the floor loses the whole shape.

A fitted top underneath is what makes wide overalls work, because the volume is already handled by the legs. A plain tee, a ribbed tank or a slim long sleeve in winter. Blue denim takes white, black, cream and stripe without any thought. A chunky sneaker or a boot suits the leg better than a delicate sandal, and rolling the hem once is the easy fix if the length runs long on you.
