How Style Your Overalls this Fall

I’ve been on a nonstop shopping spree for various types of overalls. Last time I was in Marquette, I also packed overalls, but of the summer variety in linen and shorts. But now fall is finally here and I found the best kind of overalls–sweatpants overalls. Follow below for a few tips to style your overalls for fall:

Choosing Your Overall Fabric

Choose fall/winter friendly fabrics–so that means pack away the breezy linen ones so popular this summer and rotate in the denim, corduroy or sweatpant-like overalls.

Obviously, my favorite is these Z Supply overalls that come in green or black and I’m definitely ordering black now that I realize how amazing these are. I wore them for traveling up to Marquette on a 6.5 hour drive and I felt like I was in cozy sweats.

The Shirt Selection

Stripes and overalls are always a natural combination to me, but it’s time to wear long sleeves or add a light jacket on top of short-sleeved tops.

Layer up!

The right outerwear can elevate your overalls style and I felt like the little cocoon cardigan I added finished off the look and kept my ass warm. Brrr it was cold here and I loved it!

A leather or suede moto jacket would toughen up the look too, and keep you warm. My favorites include this suede jacket in mocha bean (packed it up north with me!), black faux leather jacket (I own it in grey, go up one size!) and this faux leather biker jacket (more cold weather appropriate, I have it in color whiskey!)

An Early Reminder of Fall

Traveling 6-7 hours north meant real fall weather in the 50s and low 60s and a pop of changing leaves here and there. I wore this look with the sweater cardigan to explore downtown Marquette on our first day in downtown and eat burgers at the Delft–a cozy little spot for tasty burgers, chicken sandwiches and fries in the heart of Marquette.
