Overall dress: Outfit ideas to revisit an old classic
Dungaree dress, overall dress, pinafore dress, skirtall, however you like to call it, it is making a comeback. Sure, denim’s LBD was never really gone, but whether you never said goodbye to the skirt version of dungarees or had relayed yours to the back of your closet as soon as you passed the ripe age of 10, chances are that you will not be the only one undusting this fun hybrid for the seasons to come. With buttons, clips or knots, short or midi length, in denim, corduroy, cotton or linen, and plain or printed, the choice is yours. Throw it over your bikini and hit the beach for a fresh laid-back look or dress it up with a ruffled blouse and boots or down with a printed tee and sneakers depending on your mood. Still not convinced? Here is some inspiration as to how to wear this age-old classic this spring and summer all the way through autumn. Hint: Any and every possible way.
