Overall shorts

i've seen overalls of course. I think some of them are really cute. This is first time I've seen overall shorts! I guess I never thought of the them. What do you think? Kind of strange? Or what? This was on Shopbop.

I like overall shorts.About 10 years ago I got a pair from Victoria’s Secret. I love them. I still wear them. What I like is that they aren’t tight but very flattering & the inseam on the legs aren’t very short. I wish I could get another pair.

Cute on a 5 year old. On a mature woman, not so much.

Cute for teenagers, not so much for anyone older than that. IMHO.

Very cute on a woman under 35 or so. She would have to be slim and have great legs.

I have been wearing them since I was young and still do. There is not such thing as them not being for anyone older!

@songbird I use to have a pair back in the 1970's, I think I'd still wear them if I had the body to rock them in. !!!!!!!

I do think they look pretty silly on anyone over 20 (or so), no matter how great their body is.

@Pook, normally I don't go by others' age requirements, but I have to say that I would feel like a fool wearing these, to say nothing about the poor look of my knees and the not so great look of the skin on my legs now.

I at some point I choose a commune over a retirement home, then I just may go for it!

I usually don't associate fashion items with age but some things (to me) are exceptions, and these remind me of another "don't" for women over 20 (or so) - rompers.

No grown woman should be wearing anything called a romper.

They don't look good on my big, stocky body so it's an easy pass. I think the last time I wore a pair of overalls is when I was two or three.

The last time overalls were big in the 90's. Along with the fanny packs (excuse me, "belt bags" ) and colored sneakers, the 90's fashion trends are making a resurgence.

That was all one of my friends would wear back in the summer of 1998 while pregnant with her third child. Even I got tired of looking at them but sure understood the comfort of the outfit. Never seen her in them since and R. is now in her sophomore year at A&M. These are cute.
