Overalls- styling assistance needed!

So, I drank the overalls kool-aid despite the fact that I have not worn them in at least 20 years. These are much slimmer than the ones I used to wear, but they are a challenge for me to style. I'M BLOCKED AND NEED SOME HELP!

The darker pair are by Free People and the tags are off (I'm impulsive like that). The lighter distressed pair are from Target. Quite comfy and I like the fit and they were on sale for $20! I'm inclined to keep.

Last is an olive army jacket from Target. It's water resistant and fills a hole for me. I like how the hem dips down in the back and the sleeves can be worn rolled up with tabs or down. What do you think?

Any tips or insight anyone can give me on wearing these overalls will be greatly appreciated! However, if you think they are terrible on me, you can tel me that too!

PS, tank top is a mistake...I don't like it

I love the styling in #10. Try them with a sweatshirt too.

I don't have style advice but I think they look great on you. My fave is with the turtle neck and brown boots.

I like the overalls for you. I love them styled 4/5/6 ... But I think I would prefer it more buttoned on one side.

Do you have sleeved cropped tops? Or boxy muscle tees? I think both could look lovely with the overalls. I also really Iove how button downs look with them.

I was also going to suggest trying them with button-down shirts. Also - with a blazer - I love the juxtaposition between the casual overall and the structured blazer. Very cool!
I like the way that you have them styled in your pics except for the turtleneck top. That reminds me too much of the way they were worn in the 80's and I think it makes the upper chest and neck area look much wider than than they are IRL.

I like # 10, too. I like the idea of juxtaposing for overalls -- either dressier footwear or topper somehow. Or maybe a luxe fabric in the top.
