So I guess it really is a trend.

not saying why I might know that.

Good times.

might even still be around here someplace

to stand out except in sports where I was a grunt.

school parking lot because we somehow thought walking through 3 inches of water was cool.

I recall having a pair of overalls but I surely didn't wear them in public - right?

They were quite popular when I was in college in the early 70s. But only for girls. I never saw any of the guys wearing them.

ones with the thin stripes.

Found myself a cute pair of Dickies' painters pants recently and I get compliments!

Just saw this as a "latest thread" and am glad I was here at the right time!!

I was a teenager in the 1970s, when overalls had a fashion trend, along with jeans/dungarees. My mother, raised in Oklahoma where her Dad had a small farm and taught agriculture, shook her head. "I don't understand WHY you all want to look like farm hands!" she sighed.

starting in the late 70s. I still have a pair but I need to lose 5 pounds to fit into them again. I save everything in my closet. The "cool" students in high school always wore them with one strap hanging down...a very good look.

They were popular with the dirty longhairs I hung with … have had several pairs over the years, and am back in them again

And bibs dress too. Loved those things, no waistband. I bought some a year ago but I lost weight and they're way too big for me, cost $60 at the yard and barn.

I don't care if they're fashionable, they're comfortable. And considering a lot of people, since pandemic lockdowns and such, are into comfort clothing, I can see overalls becoming a thing.

and painter’s pants, carpenter jeans etc …
I txtd my daughters with the gist of this thread, and they both have some to wear now, I found pics of them as toddlers wearing them to show that they got an early start 😃
Plus, I’ve bought pairs for my grandkids too, and they love them !

I would love to find some lightweight cotton overalls for the summer, as my denims are a bit hot nowadays …

I haven't been in my twenties for more than a few decades.

My late father was faculty at William and Mary. He retired around 1980.

But how are the real hipsters going to wear them below the waist?

ha.

My Mother hated it and said it make me look country. I Rembrandt she would give me a bad look when I wore those overalls! I actually have a few pictures of me in those overalls. But I didn’t like it when I had to go to the bathroom because it took longer to put it back on!

The new ones are cute though with the wide legged pants ( again another throw back to bell bottoms)

I liked the ones I got from the Sears catalogue way back when.

with platforms

By cutting off the legs just above the knee.

every few years, especially for teens, they become popular. Think I had a cute pair back in the 1970’s. Ever since then, like I said, they become popular.
