I haven't actually decided whether I'll keep these, as I have some other overalls OTW to compare them with and will keep the ones I like best. But now I have a better idea of what I'm looking for fit-wise.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re: inseam, I was hoping I'd be able to cuff the hems on these, but the seams are a bit bulky for that.&nbsp;</p> <p>The larger size definitely works better for a dropped look with the shoulder straps extended. In the smaller size, the waistband gets a little "stuck" on my hips. Definitely leaning toward roomier.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2196244 Tue, 18 May 2021 22:15:33 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2196244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the roomier fit here, but if they are no-stretch denim, I'm guessing they will stretch quite a bit. If you lengthen the straps all the way, does the smaller pair give you a little bit of a lower crotch point? If so, I'd keep the smaller pair. Otherwise, go with the larger ones and figure they will get even a bit larger with wearing. </p> <p>I like the look on you, by the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2195994 Mon, 17 May 2021 17:17:09 +0000 Angie 2195994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like them roomier, but feel the length is not quite right. Like they need to be shorter or longer. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2195836 Mon, 17 May 2021 01:02:16 +0000 Carla 2195836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Larger, but don’t size up. Did you do the sit and bend test? &nbsp;I think they look great on you!</p> <p><div><br /></div><div>I just&nbsp;<i>loved&nbsp;</i>overalls and wore them all-the-time in uni. &nbsp;Had faded and dark wash jean, and green corduroy versions. &nbsp;‘Painter pants’ were popular at the time - utility/grunge/Carhart chic - worn with plaid shirts and those ubiquitous ‘yellow’ work boots. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2195830 Mon, 17 May 2021 00:45:09 +0000 smittie 2195830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I would see if the smaller size bags out a bit, but I don’t think you can go wrong with the larger size as they are meant to be really casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2195825 Mon, 17 May 2021 00:11:33 +0000 Bijou 2195825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these on you, #1 seems the right fit, roomy but not so large to be annoying to wear. Having straps that slide down would bother me with the very oversized style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2195763 Sun, 16 May 2021 15:53:42 +0000 kkards 2195763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I almost always vote for roomier. If I thought you would wear these with a blazer I’d say the smaller size, but I think your more limo to wear a sweater under the bib, which would work best with the roomier pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2195756 Sun, 16 May 2021 13:57:26 +0000 viva 2195756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them roomier. You looks so cute in these! Overalls are on my list of things to wear while I am young in my next life.

I like Suz's suggestion to play with the clasps a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2195726 Sun, 16 May 2021 04:43:38 +0000 Bonnie 2195726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both sizes on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2195719 Sun, 16 May 2021 03:24:56 +0000 slim cat 2195719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m torn - smaller looks good to me - but the larger has more cool vibe..I think...

I need to play with the shoulder straps. I think lower is the way to go regardless of which size I keep. These have a lot of adjustability.</p> <p>DonnaF -- there are a lot of super-fitted overall looks out there (*so* not me), and a lot of super-slouchy (tempting!). Go too far in either direction and you lose the comfort/practicality... I think overalls are just tricky. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2195652 Sat, 15 May 2021 22:39:23 +0000 DonnaF 2195652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the smaller size, but keep in mind that's my bias. It also keeps one from wondering if you borrowed them from someone bigger. But I also don't like overalls/shortalls that are tight. Super slouchy looks IMHO are best for those who are super tall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2195650 Sat, 15 May 2021 22:37:19 +0000 bj1111 2195650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Larger. Like your idea of really sizing up. Crotch point low like the model. Need to balance where the legs end up tho, to avoid a little rascals situation </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/overalls-%e2%80%94-how-roomy-are-you-wearing-them#post-2195630 Sat, 15 May 2021 20:43:16 +0000 LaPed 2195630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After trying and returning an off-white boilersuit a couple months ago, I’ve had utility looks on my mind and decided to try these off-white short-all’s. I’m perpetually between sizes so I ordered both of my potential sizes and I honestly don’t know which one is better! I’m afraid a year of pandemic life has really skewed my sense of fit...</p> <p>The larger size (1/2) has a lot of extra room in the torso and the legs are a little roomier too. More apparent in the side view. The smaller size (3/4) is a little more body-skimming but not tight. Plenty of room for this boxy tee. I kind of love the hanging-off-the-shoulders vibe of the sized-up one. Some reviews say the fabric relaxes and stretches with wear. I was hoping photos would show an obvious winner, but they’re almost indistinguishable. Maybe I size up even further to get the full-on slouchy waif vibe? Curious if anyone else is excited about overalls this year, and where you think they should fall on the tailored/fluid/oversized spectrum. </p>
