Casual. Ralph Lauren proposed denim overalls and though inspired by American farmers the designer reinterprets them in a casual direction. Matched with feminine blouses, blazers, fine sandals, scarves and basques or hats, these denim overalls or the ones made from delicate fabrics imitating denim represent the new urban-chic.
The designer paired the denim overalls with gold peep-toe heels. For a casual look, DKNY and Marc by Marc Jacobs proposed light, practical overalls that can perfectly camouflage pear-shaped figures. Another casual approach is that of Lacoste with simple cuts and accessorized overalls perfect for a hot summer day.
Elegant. Even if it's hard to believe, overalls can be elegant too. For spring/summer 2010, a more classic and elegant interpretation we can find at Hermes. Due to the neutral colors used, these overalls can be worn at the office or as a cocktail outfit. Remaining in the cocktail area, Luca Luca presented the white sleeveless overall, with fine prints, nicely accessorized with shoes and colorful beads. We find elegant overalls at Lanvin who gave them a luxurious air using drapings, sequins and accessories such as chunky jewelry, precious belts and long evening gloves. A similar approach we can find at Carolina Herrera where sleeveless and accessorized overalls become a real seduction weapon.
