Comfy, casual, versatile: Overalls for men

Whether in a cool worker style, casual home-wear variant or patterned design: men’s overalls are extremely versatile – and you can put an uncomplicated jumpsuit on in no time. Matching shoes perfect the look.

One piece, numerous possibilities

Babygrows for adults? Work clothes? Overalls cast these connotations aside long ago and in the meantime they were promoted to an it-piece in popular menswear collections. When you need to get going quickly, or don’t have the patience to spend a lot of time looking for a cool outfit, an uncomplicated one-piece comes in handy as an alternative. They are available in numerous variations: with short or long legs, with or without sleeves, with braces, in monochrome or patterned, and made from the most distinct materials. The most popular style is denim dungarees with long legs. But long sleeved jumpsuits made from dark-coloured denims or colourful cottons are growing in popularity. For the warm summer months you can also get your hands on short pieces in a military design with an attached breast pocket.

How to wear your overalls

Classic blue denim dungarees are by far the most versatile of overalls. Underneath, wear a floral patterned T-shirt or a long-sleeved style with a punchy print. On colder days, simply put on a zip-up hoodie or a cardigan that you can tie loosely around your waist if necessary. With all types of one-piece, the right footwear plays a decisive role – otherwise the look can quickly revert back to “builder”. For overalls made of cotton blends, choose a pair of light-coloured converse or trainers. For a military look, choose khaki-coloured jumpsuits or camouflage one-pieces and combine them with canvas shoes or loafers in earthy tones. Short versions in bright colours or trendy oriental patterns demand subtle footwear – canvas or leather shoes in muted colours, slip-ons or even sliders. You should always avoid wearing socks. Instead, choose a pair of short ankle socks, that are almost unnoticeable when worn with closed or half-open shoes.

 
Will a whole-body outfit make me too warm during the course of the day? Then simply let the upper part hang down by your sides – this doesn’t just work with dungarees. Underneath, simply wear a block-colour T-shirt or tank top. Now your overalls are suitable for all weathers.

With a pair of men’s overalls you’re dressed quickly and you’re also absolutely style complete.
