We all see images of celebrities in styles that most people, “real people” (that would be you and I), can’t get away with.
One such oh-so-questionable trend that’s been popping up recently is overalls. Rihanna, Diane Kruger and Sarah Jessica Parker have all been spotted in them. Elisabeth Moss wore a pair — and nothing else — on the cover of New York magazine. Whether you like it or not, they’re back with a vengeance, from long to short, leather to silk, super slouchy to super skinny.
But even with all these fashionable ladies showing up and looking fabulous in them, I had to ask myself, “Am I too old to wear this?” As I near my 35th birthday this year, this seems to be a recurring question.
The only way to find out was to test them, so I snagged a pair of American Eagle denim overall shorts. After styling them with a number of flat sandals, sneakers and tank tops, I decided. I’m not young enough to wear them to everyday events — work, errands or grocery shopping.
I do have an out, though: I can get away with wearing them as a cover-up at the beach, which I certainly plan to do this summer.
