WTF? – Overalls!

As the summer days start getting longer and hotter, comfortable clothes are an absolute necessity. But who would have known that one of the most comfortable articles of clothing to wear – a simple pair of denim overalls – is back in a big way?!

The denim one piece has gone through a major transformation this season, from a something made for the farm, into an edgy outfit for any time of day. Overalls were all over the runway at New York Fashion Week, and, of course, celebrities on the street are wearing them too. Whether it’s classic blue denim, a pair of “shorteralls”, or even black to dress up the look, overalls are being spotted everywhere – looking totally fabulous, nonetheless.

Big-name designers showed several different versions of these double-strapped childhood classics on their runways. DKNY’s were done in traditional denim, Rag & Bone’s in minimalist black and white and Alexander Wang’s in heavily-logoed leather.

How about our trendy celebs? Ashley Tisdale was spotting looking both laid-back and adorable in a pair of gray overalls at LAX, while Olivia Palermo proved that overalls aren’t exclusively for the bohemian in her edgy, black, piece. Selena Gomez opted for a slightly sexier look by styling her denim number with a lacy bandeau and metallic flats. Meanwhile, Rachel Bilson showed off her vacation style in a shorts rendition.

There are endless modern, mega-cool ways to nail the overall trend: the adorable shorteralls, dainty delicate straps, or a crisp white update to the standard denim blue.
