Views and styles
Designers today offer a lot of types and styles of semi-overalls, which are suitable for any occasion. These are children's models from birth, female models from sports to office style, men's options and sets for all seasons.
If we talk about women's semi-overalls, then they can be divided into several categories:
- Everyday. Most often they are sewn from denim and similar fabrics, strong and wear-resistant. Such models can be worn over sweatshirts, shirts or t-shirts, worn with sneakers and heels. Separately, you can select semi-overalls for pregnant women - thanks to the dense fabric they support the tummy, and thanks to the adjustable straps, you can adjust the clothes for any month of pregnancy. Summer models, sewn from silk or cotton, light jeans or synthetic fabric, can be attributed to everyday ones. Like any outfit for the summer, such overalls have a lot of cheerful colors, and models range from bustier outfits with shorts to “floor” options on thin straps.
- Business. In fact, semi-overalls fit into the office style almost better than classic trousers. This is a kind of reference to men's trousers with suspenders, which are the place in the office or at a working meeting. As a rule, such semi-overalls are made of costume fabric and have a restrained color scheme. Such models are easy to combine with blouses and jackets, business shoes and accessories. But if we talk about office fashion in the summer, the semi-overalls can be made in light, pastel colors and light fabric.
- Sports. Typically, these are winter options for downhill or cross-country skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling or active tourism. This type of semi-overalls, first of all, meets the standards of ergonomics, heat preservation and water protection. Of course, sports brands offer attractive colors for young ladies.
- Evening. Models of evening overalls - splendor and chic combined with comfort. Designers offer a lot of options: mini or to the floor, with decorations in the form of rhinestones, feathers, sequins, ribbons and bows. Such semi-overalls are sewn from velvet, lace, chiffon or silk.
Overalls for children
Overalls for children vary to a greater extent by season. For the summer, manufacturers offer thin and light models. For babies, these are semi-overalls made of natural, breathing materials, usually of light shades. Such models allow the baby to feel good even in the heat, not to overheat and not to sweat. For older kids, the most popular are jeans models. This fabric combines with everything else, is wear-resistant and is easy to wear.
For the summer, semi-overalls with shorts will be good - such a style will allow the child to actively walk, but he will not be hot. In cool weather, you can choose a semi-overalls with a classic trouser length, then the child will look very stylish.
Demi-season overalls are designed to protect against wind and moisture. Most often, they have a straight cut, fleece lining and waterproof upper material. Winter semi-overalls are of two types - more voluminous, with a heater in the form of fluff or synthetic winterizer, or thinner - on the membrane.
By the way, all the insulated models of semi-overalls, for children, for adults, can go with a jacket or a park. This is very convenient if the clothes are matched in the same color scheme (or create a beautiful contrast) and have the same temperature indicators.
Material
If we talk about women's semi-overalls, then this season there is a certain trend. Designers, as if by agreement, chose a number of materials from which different models are sewn. This is eternal denim, knitwear, genuine or eco-leather, tweed and velvet, and for evening dresses - transparent flying chiffon, silk and luxurious guipure.
Overalls for children are sewn almost on the same principle. If we talk about unfrozen models, then the trend is the same jeans, velor or faux suede. For elegant options, velvet or thick silk crepe with a stretch effect can be used.
Off-season and winter semi-overalls, as for adults, are sewn from waterproof materials - polyester or polyvinyl. The seams on such products are hermetic; as a filler, heaters of a new generation are increasingly being used - Hollofan, Isosoft, and others. The main thing is that the materials "breathe", well remove moisture from the body, but do not let it in.
Another type of material is PVC or polyvinyl chloride. Previously, this smooth, skin-like fabric was used only when creating semi-overalls for fishermen and hunters. But fashion “spied” this chip, and now you can find such products among fans of alternative trends. In addition to the original appearance, PVC perfectly performs the main function - it completely eliminates getting wet, protects against dirt.

How to choose?
Particular attention should be paid when choosing a jumpsuit if you buy it for a baby who cannot express his opinion. Therefore, first of all, the model should be comfortable and convenient for the child - to have soft, wide adjustable straps, to sit exactly in size (not only not to be smaller, but also not to grow), the optimal leg length.
Do not take too warm semi-overalls for the off-season so that the baby does not sweat in it. It is important that the jumpsuit is equipped with durable high-quality fasteners and glued seams, if this is a winter model. For your own convenience, it is better to choose a semi-overalls that will be easy to clean from dirt and easy to dry.
If we talk about choosing a jumpsuit for a woman, then it is worth approaching him with knowledge of his own strengths and weaknesses. So, tight-fitting models will suit slender young ladies, more free models will suit lush ladies.If you want to emphasize the waist, choose a model with a belt or belt to emphasize the chest and shoulders - it is better to purchase a bando model. Do not forget that light shades, like a small print, visually add kilograms, but dark-colored models with a large pattern that distract from the figure as a whole are always slim.
When choosing a jumpsuit for sports, you need to make sure that it sits exactly in shape, and the external fabric and filler meet quality standards. The quality of the fittings is also important - if in the middle of the snowy slope of the overalls breaks and the zipper locks open, nothing good will come of it. If you will wear a jumpsuit in winter, do not choose light, white shades - you should be clearly visible against the background of snow!
