In the 1990s, overalls were popular. Overalls today are mostly worn by babies and children, but there are some grown-ups who wear overalls. Overalls range in length from shorts to full-length jeans/pants to shorts. Overalls, as their namesake implies, go over your top. It is a one-piece garment that stays with you. Just take off the two straps to comfortably wear them as average bottoms. This blog post is not only a look back at overalls, but also a sort of fashion flashback.
About the Label: "Fashion Flashback"
Posts under the "Fashion Flashback" label specifically concern past styles and trends. It is a trip back in time (and sure to give good and bad memories for most of my readers) at past fashions.LATEST UPDATE(S)/REVISION(S):
JUL 23 2017 - edits made and added extra inspirations for overalls/dungareesOveralls at a Glance
Do you need a reminder as to what overalls are like? Here you go. Maybe this will jog your memory:
^ from: www.amazon.com - Overalls... as you've loved (or loathed) them.
^ from: www.amazon.com - Overalls are unisex. Males and females both have something to love about overalls.
^ from: www.amazon.com - This pair of overalls is a girly twist on overalls.
Some loved them, others loathed them. Some probably still have their overalls, some others probably donated them to Goodwill or something. No matter how you feel about overalls, these unisex bottoms are very much '90s fashion throwback. Overalls are mostly of the denim variety. However, there have been many corduroy overalls as well. Overalls really shine as hard working clothes. But usually these days, most overalls are worn and enjoyed by babies and children. Many people either want or want to believe overalls are making a comeback. That is especially if you believe in the 20-year cycle some recent fashion trends take on. I remember mostly in the '90s when there were other terms likened to overalls. For example, a pair of overall shorts were "shortalls."
I don't really care for overalls. I have the same sort of opinions on overalls as I do oxford shoes and brogues- don't really like them, but don't hate them either. I certainly don't see overalls as stylish or "hot." Overalls are COMPLETELY casual, so anything from sneakers to flip-flop/thong sandals are usually complimented with overalls. A pair of work boots or some other hard-working footwear also works with overalls. Do NOT attempt to be chic or cute with overalls by going with some sassy shoes. At best, maybe ballet flats with any kind of overalls is fine for those wanting to pair overalls with cute shoes.

Overalls: Final Thoughts
I once did a search on Twitter about a certain fashion item. Someone talked about how nobody remembers this item (undisclosed) because "...some things just don't need to come back..." It goes to show how screwed up some people are. So it's okay to keep bringing back the '80s in every conceivable manner, but most other things are somehow off-limits to bring back?
Overalls are likely going to be that resurfacing trend which lovers will embrace, and those who loathe overalls will only be reminded of why they hate them so much. I'm sure various denim designers will find every way to make them fashionable and cool in this day and age. I personally don't really care for overalls, and it isn't likely I'll suggest or love a pair of overalls being worn today. Again- if you love overalls, and if you're reading my ranting of overalls, proudly wear your overalls. I just don't like them to any extreme degree. At the same time, I don't hate overalls entirely. So don't plan on typing something foul against me just because there's a style I dislike or don't like all that much even while most everybody else is all goo-goo-ga-ga over them.
Most of my discussion of this topic primarily relates to people 13 or older wearing overalls. A lot of my discussions on fashion usually relate to styles 13 or older unless I am discussing more mature fashion items and more mature looks.
