Women's Floral Overalls: Fashion Meets Comfort
When they hear the word “overalls,” many people instantly think of a classic denim pair with a touch of utilitarian style. However, the truth is that overalls come in many different styles and designs, making them suitable for all tastes. Floral overalls – without any doubt – are for women who like to add a touch of whimsy to their wardrobe. These playful pieces can brighten up virtually any outfit and put a smile on the face – and a pep in the step – of anyone who wears them.
Take a look at our impressive collection of flower overalls and discover the perfect pair.
How to Choose the Perfect Flower Overalls
On the surface, choosing the right overalls seems like an easy task. After all, they’re just a one-piece garment with straps, right? Wrong! There’s a certain craft to choosing the perfect pair of overalls, especially ones as expressive as flower overalls. Here’s what to keep in mind when choosing the next blooming masterpiece.
Fit
One of the signature characteristics of overalls is the uninhibited freedom of movement they offer. After all, they were initially made to be functional, not fashionable. That’s why most overalls come in a highly loose fit. Throw the floral print into the mix, and the result is a super casual and flowy look that perfectly embodies laid-back charm.
However, those who deem the loose fit-flower pattern combo too relaxed should opt for a more tailored cut to strike a balance between comfort and sophistication.
Pattern
Yes, this entire page is dedicated solely to floral overalls. But this doesn’t mean there’s just one floral pattern to choose from. In fact, even a quick glance at our selection of flower overalls reveals a kaleidoscope of colors and patterns, each uniquely beautiful. The “rule” is simple. Those looking for a more subdued and cohesive look they can wear to a variety of occasions should go for more delicate and sporadic – and perhaps even solid-colored – flower motifs. Those willing to go all out – and soak up all the attention – will find the bold and vibrant all-over flower prints to be their perfect match.
Style
It’s impressive just how many different styles can exude from something as seemingly simple as floral overalls. Of course, the first style to come to mind is the “flower power” look that encapsulates the essence of the 1960s hippie culture. Nailing this style requires choosing bold, oversized floral patterns in vibrant colors like yellow, orange, and psychedelic blues and greens. For a callback to the ‘90s, go with a wide-leg denim piece with a nostalgic vibe and a more subtle flower print. Those going for an “art teacher” look will thrive in looser fits with prominent flower motifs, perhaps in earthy tones like sage green, mustard yellow, and deep burgundy.
Fabric
Here’s another misconception about overalls – they’re all made of denim. Sure, denim is the prevalent choice, and for good reason. This fabric is durable, versatile, available in tons of washes, and lends a timeless appeal to any garment. However, denim is far from the only fabric choice for flower overalls. These lovely pieces also come in fabrics like linen, cotton, and wool.
For a more casual alternative to a floral jumpsuit or floral romper, always choose floral overalls in lighter fabrics. These fabrics can also be a lifesaver in warmer weather, ensuring comfort without sacrificing style. Those who love the look of denim but aren’t particularly fond of its weight or stiffness will appreciate the breezy comfort of cotton. However, for women who prefer the classic overalls look and a more structured silhouette, denim is the only choice.
Pockets
Whether looking for floral dresses, floral overalls, or floral jumpsuits for women, there’s always a single feature that makes every woman inexplicably happy. Pockets! Pockets make every garment better, as they eliminate the need for the one-woman juggle act necessary to hold the phone, the wallet, the keys, and the lip balm all together. Best of all? Since overalls were originally invented to be the ultimate work clothes, the pockets are typically spacious and abundant. Women who want these pockets to play both a functional and a decorative function should go with floral overalls with a front pocket.
Bib Style
Let’s be honest – the bib is the central part of most overalls models. As such, it can undoubtedly make or break the entire look. Women who’re still feeling out overalls should opt for a model with a barely-there bib, as this pair will practically look like a pair of trousers with suspenders. Bonus – this bib shows off the top beneath the overalls more. The same goes for a small bib that can perfectly pair with a crop top to show some skin. Of course, for the traditional overalls look, the full bib is the way to go. Depending on the model, the floral overalls with a full bib can even be worn with no shirt underneath. Talk about versatility!
The choice of the bib style can also be impacted by the neckline. The most traditional neckline for overalls is the square neckline. However, choosing a V neckline – deep or shallow – might add some more visual interest to the front of the overalls.
Straps
The straps are another essential component of the traditional overalls look. Like the overalls themselves, they come in a variety of styles.
The most basic choice to make is adjustable or non-adjustable. Most women go for the former option as they allow them to play around with the entire outfit vibe. Loosen the straps, and the result is an ultra-casual I-just-threw-these-on look many women adore. With tightened straps, however, comes a more sleek and sophisticated silhouette that enhances the overall fit of the garment.
The non-adjustable straps that are fan favorites are the wide straps and the spaghetti straps. The former is more like a floral jumpsuit and can be easily dressed up or down. The latter gives a modern twist to the classic overall look. Plus, spaghetti straps come in handy during the warmer months!
Pant Length
The most popular options for pant lengths are calf length, ankle length, and floor length. Each of these pairs beautifully with floral overalls. However, each combo can also send a different message. The floor-length floral overall with a wider, flowy leg brings all the drama. From there, the shorter the pants get, the more laid-back the overall outfit gets. These shorter versions – cropped or cuffed – are also a better choice for shorter women, as these models won’t overwhelm their frame.
