How to Wear Denim Overalls

I love a great pair of overalls. Overalls feel so fitting in Jackson Hole because they were one of my main summer wardrobe staples when I was a kid spending time in Wyoming. There are so many photos of my siblings and me all in matching overalls throughout the years in Jackson! I picked up these Madewell overalls last year (last seen here) and can’t get enough of them. I was so excited to bring them out this past spring when the weather started to warm up a bit. Overalls are just fun to wear! I feel like I can run around and do anything I want (climb mountains even, ha!) when I’m wearing overalls… aka my inner child is brought out again! Today, I’m sharing how to wear denim overalls as an adult and get away with it.

How to Wear Denim Overalls

I think the key to wearing overalls is to balance out the sporty nature of them with a feminine touch. In this case, I opted for my feminine touch to be my top that I wore under my overalls. The ruffles on my button-down are flirty but ladylike so the top contrasts perfectly with the overalls making it a complete look. Another way to add a feminine touch is with a girlie purse (I like a quilted purse – one, two, three, four) or with a pair of dressier shoes like espadrilles. I went for the feminine top so I carried a classic purse and a pair of my trusty loafers. I love loafers. Whatever you pick, it’s all about balance between athletic, sporty, tomboy overalls and feminine, flirty, tailored outfit additions. Count on me to be wearing these overalls throughout the rest of summer and through fall!

P.S. I also love overalls with a fun pair of sneakers or Converse!

We snapped these photos near the Cache Creek Trailhead just outside of Jackson. It’s a wonderful spot to hike in the Jackson Hole area! You may remember this floral outfit from last summer also shot at Cache Creek. There are so many beautiful parts of Jackson to photograph. Jackson Hole really has some of the most beautiful landscapes I’ve ever seen!

Aren’t my sky blue earrings beautiful!?

I probably sound like a broken record by this point in the week because this is the third post in a row that I’ve worn earrings by new-to-me earring designer Caitlin Elizabeth but I just love them. I got my two pairs of earrings – pink and blue – right before our trip to Jackson Hole so I was really excited to wear them all week long. Generally, I wear simple everyday rings and necklaces but the one piece of jewelry I always like to have fun with is earrings. Caitlin Elizabeth makes the most beautiful floral statement earrings! The earrings are super lightweight to wear too, which is a must for me! I mentioned this the other day but I have my eye on these two pairs for fall: one, two.
