Forget Wide-Leg Jeans—Overalls Are the Staple Dominating 2025

Raise your hand if you opened your phone this morning only to be told, once again, that wide-leg jeans are the denim talking point of 2025. We agree the palazzo-leaning silhouette has major presence, yet we keep reaching for something with even more fashion mileage. Overalls, yes, the dungarees we wore before you could spell sartorial. Fashion girls who once championed barrel jeans are discovering that a single bib-front piece can do everything a pair of wide-leg jeans can, only with a dose of retro attitude and a runway-backed seal of approval.

When we were kids we were rarely seen without our favorite pair, usually teamed with a cropped tee and beat-up Converse before racing outside. Fast-forward to now and the childhood wardrobe essential has reclaimed its throne. The ’90s redux gave the style a new lease on life, and in 2025 it feels less nostalgic and more necessary. Denim, chino, cotton even liquid-look leather; designers are revisiting every fabrication and silhouette, from roomy carpenter cuts to sleek fitted jumpsuits, proving there is an overall for every vibe and every calendar slot.

The runways agree. At SS25 shows from Chanel to The Row the humble bib made multiple appearances, styled with slouchy knits one minute and diamanté bralettes the next. Street-style arbiters followed suit, swapping their trusty wide-legs for tapered straps and metal hardware that announce themselves with a gentle clink at every coffee-shop entrance. Black overalls have emerged as the season’s hero shade yet fashion insiders are also hunting down saturated cherry denim and sun-bleached white iterations that photograph like a dream under midday rays.

Perhaps the greatest plot twist is seasonality or lack thereof. Our editors have worn dungarees layered over turtlenecks and under smart wool coats when the temperature drops, then pivoted to linen versions for scorching festival days without missing a beat. That kind of year-round versatility turns a piece into a capsule wardrobe staple faster than you can say trend cycle. Put simply, while wide-leg jeans continue their loud parade, overalls are quietly securing top billing on packing lists and Pinterest boards alike.

So where does that leave your denim drawer? Think of this story as the permission slip better yet, the invitation to push wide-leg jeans to the side and watch overalls take the spotlight. The silhouettes ahead prove that the one-piece can skew sophisticated, sporty, or somewhere in between without sacrificing visual impact. Whether you favor a distressed carpenter cut with hardware that feels almost industrial or a minimal black leather pair that whispers quiet luxury, the bib-front jumpsuit is the sartorial solution no one saw coming yet everyone now wants to try.
