Bib Overalls

Bib overalls have remained popular baby clothing items for several decades, and the variety of styles, material, and designs make overalls a gender-neutral item that parents love.

Overalls are synonymous with the image of farmers and workmen. Their sturdy construction, numerous pockets, and comfortable fit are still appreciated today by working men and women across the country. However, adults aren't the only ones wearing bib overalls. Children have been enjoying the look and feel of these tough outfits since the early 1900s when OshKosh B'Gosh first introduced them to kids, so they could follow in their dads' footsteps. When this revolutionary clothing trend for kids hit the market, the sales were phenomenal. While not viewed so much today as a unique form of dressing, overalls still remain a popular choice among parents for their children, particularly for their tough construction and their appearance.

If kids' bib overalls are on your list of must-haves, what should you consider when buying them for your child?

• Fit - The most adorable pair of bib overalls simply won't be worn if your child thinks they are uncomfortable. Fitting overalls appropriately for your child is more than just searching for her traditional size. Bib overalls should be measured from the crotch to the tops of the shoulders. You don't want to purchase overalls that aren't long enough in the stride. For the best fit, have your child try on the overalls. Then, have her bend over as far as possible to stretch her hands to the floor. If the overalls pinch her stride or pull her shoulders, they are probably too short.
• Material - Overall material come in a wage range of choices. Choose from soft duck cloth, cotton, corduroy, brushed satin, denim, and more. Both boys' overalls and girls' overalls come in these materials. If you live in a particularly cold climate, consider purchasing insulated and/or weatherproof overalls.
• Design - The variety of styles and designs for girls bib overalls are just as many as those for boys. In some stores, you can actually find more styles for girls than for girls. Designs for overalls can actually be dressy, particularly for girls. Bright pastel or primary colors are often used in overalls. In fact, some overalls can appear almost dressy, with the addition of colorful buttons, embroidered patterns, and more delicate material.
• Style - Overall styles have come a long way since the traditional denim bib overalls. Today, styles for kids include pants, short overalls, and even skirt overalls.
