Overalls--off!

Ok I really want a pair a pair of overalls, as manrepelling as they may be.
Finally there's more than one option out there

#1 Totokaelo Chimala-

Totally manrepelling, check out the rear view, but also the most expensive.

#2 Current/Elliott

More body con, but cropped. Distressing seems appropriate.

#3 Citizens of Humanity

Faded and the cheapest. Medium in terms of bagginess.

#3 gets my vote!

I meant to add that I like second pair too, especially the distressing, but I think I prefer the longer length. Would love to see them on you!

I like #1 by a long shot. There's something about tight overalls that seems wrong to me, and for some reason they seem more manrepelling than loose ones. Like, they aren't just overalls... they're Fashion Overalls. Just my opinion, and probably my neurosis as well.

I like the first best, by far. The rear view is fab! Love the draping/baggyness. Let's be honest here...they're OVERALLS...bodycon shouldn't even be in the descriptions.

With overalls, I just think, Go BAGGY or GO HOME.

I'm a little sorry, because they are $$$, but love #1 the best!

I like #1 the best too..... but couldn't you get the same affect by sizing up on the others? FWIW, I like #2, sized up.

I have a pair of short overalls left over from my early 20's that I refuse to give up. If you love them and they're comfy who cares if they're man repelling!

I'd be the largest size in number #2 and #3, no sizing up.

my nod goes to #1 - like MMPJ says Go baggy or go home. ouch on the price tho.

I agree with Tanya. 1 is cerebral.

I like #1 the best as well. Go big or go home with this style! #2 seems juniors-style to me for some reason (maybe the fit), and #3 looks like something I could thrift at my local thrift store right now.

Definitely #1 - love the slouchy look of them.

I don't think any of the three are good enough, to be honest. Maybe at Bona Drag...?

I'm a complete spanner. I vote #2 or #3, and like #1 the least.

I LOVE #3.

I think when you are in the mood for baggy you have the bases covered with your drop crotch and x over trousers. I like the idea of the overalls providing a different vibe.

#2 are my fave by a mile. The other two pair remind of a pair I wore post-pregnancy (15 years ago), purchased at the Gap. They look like stonewashed, run-of-the-mill overalls to me. If you like that style, you could probably pick up a pair on Ebay for under $50 :). The second pair seem intentional somehow, and much more stylish, IMHO.

Thanks everyone. Maybe it'll be none of the above. Just began pricing tickets to Australia.

I like #2, because I think they're the most flattering. Overall, I'm not an overall fan, though. (I feel like #1 is so genuine, so much like the ones my grandpa wore on the farm, that you could get that look for a lot less.)

Not reading the other responses first, I have to say I strongly prefer 2 or 3 over 1.

Not reading the others first, but I like 3 best followed by 2 and then 1.
