The Best Coveralls That Satisfy A One-And-Done Kind Of Day

While we loved frolicking through the summer in dresses, we're very much into throw-on-and-go jumpsuits for fall. There's an effortlessness that comes with pulling on a onesie. It not only takes the guesswork out of pulling an outfit together, but the pants actually enable you to stride around without fear that you'll accidentally flash passersby. Bike rides, high kicks, dance moves — you can do it all with this singular garment. Ahead, we sourced 11 of the highest-rated styles according to customers who are down with a one-and-done day. While utilitarian coveralls continue to reign in the jumpsuit department, there are also athletic-inspired and strappier silhouettes to try on for fall, which we've also included in this Hype Machine guide. Let's jump into this ever-popular trend, shall we?

Alex Mill Standard Jumpsuit


Best Overall Coverall


This celeb-favorite jumpsuit, available in seven covetable colors, has that perfectly boxy utilitarian look without any fabric roughness or bulk. Maybe it's that cropped leg that makes it so special (particularly if you're petite)? If you like the look but know it'll make you sweat, Alex Mill also offers a short-sleeved version.   

The Hype: 4 out of 5 stars and 25 reviews on alexmill.com

What They’re Saying: "The pockets on this jumpsuit are AMAZING! They are so big! I am in love! I can fit my Nintendo Switch in the pocket. I can fit BOTH my Kindle Fire and my Paperwhite. These are the pockets women want and deserve and I highly recommend these purely for the pockets alone."

Alex Mill Standard Jumpsuit in Cotton Twill, $, available at Alex Mill

Pact Lightweight Hemp Utility Jumpsuit


Best Sustainably Made Coverall


If buying Fair Trade-certified clothes is a priority, this lightweight coverall made from organic cotton is the jumpsuit for you.

The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 4 reviews on wearpact.com

What They’re Saying: "This is the perfect jumpsuit. The fit is perfect and the fabric is lightweight but substantial. I got the black and just ordered grey and umber."

PACT Lightweight Hemp Utility Jumpsuit, $, available at PACT

Dickies Long Sleeve Cotton Twill Coverall


Best Affordable Jumpsuit


When it comes to durable workwear, Dickies is the legacy brand to trust. And at under $50 a pop, this style is well worth copping for fall.

The Hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 1,443 reviews on amazon.com

What They're Saying: "I am a doctor and I bought these coveralls for a Halloween costume (Rosie the Riveter). I liked them so much I found myself looking for excuses to wear them. Within a week I was driving a front loader, moving logs, and questioning all my life choices. I’m pretty sure a woman can do anything in these things. Am I crazy? You won’t know unless you try them. Magical!"

Dickies Dickies Long Sleeve Cotton Twill Coverall, $, available at Amazon

Universal Standard Kate Stretch Cotton Twill Jumpsuit


Best Coverall In Extended Sizes


Universal Standard knows how to make clothes for every type of body — and this jumpsuit epitomizes the brand's ethos.

The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 83 reviews on universalstandard.com

What They're Saying: "It takes so little to look good in this. I have spilled coffee down it and just wipes right off, so you can be a complete slob and still pull this off. Dresses up, dresses down, basically perfect all year round, room for layers, loose in the heat. Just buy it already."

Universal Standard Kate Stretch Cotton Twill Jumpsuit, $, available at Universal Standard

Everlane The Fatigue Short-Sleeve Jumpsuit


Best Linen-Blend Jumpsuit


Everlane has perfected the indigo-blue jumpsuit. While dark-wash styles tend to be too thick or stiff to wear all over like this, this particular cotton-linen style has a very wearable, lightweight feel.

The Hype: 4.44 out of 5 stars and 18 reviews on everlane.com

What They're Saying: "I put this on and instantly feel cool. I'm excited to wear this to work with cute booties and weekend with tennis shoes. The perfect transition back to the office from home office outfit. I was worried about the sizing but went with my usual size 6 and it fits perfectly. The sleeves are wide but not as wide as I expected after reading the other reviews."

Everlane The Fatigue Short-Sleeve Jumpsuit, $, available at Everlane

Universal Thread Women's Long Sleeve Boilersuit


Best Budget Coverall


Get to know Target's latest jumpsuit: a classic (and comfy) boilersuit made from cotton with a hint of stretch. Customers seem to dig the decent size range of 0 through 18 and the four colorway options — but, mostly, they love the price point.

The Hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 22 reviews on target.com

What They're Saying: "Possibly the best jumpsuit I own. If you liked the Universal Thread jumpsuits sold last year-you are going to LOVE this new take. The zipper and single snap button is SO much better (both style wise and accessibility wise) than 6 or 7 buttons. I am 5’7 and carry most of my weight in my hips and thighs. These hug in the right spots and the pant leg perfectly hits above the ankles. Purchased one in cream and then another so I can color it myself."

Universal Thread Women's Long Sleeve Boilersuit, $, available at Target

LUSH Perfect Night Champagne Satin Cowl Neck Culotte Jumpsuit


Best Going-Out Jumpsuit


Don’t be fooled by the affordable price point — reviewers rave non-stop about the quality of the satiny material and its chic fit, which offers a darted waist, wide leg, and cowl neck. Many have also worn this jumpsuit for their bridal shower or wedding.

The Hype: 4.75 out of 5 stars and 40 reviews on lulus.com

What They’re Saying: "The material is so soft and it fits perfectly! I always worry about buying things that are this material online because they can look cheap, but this is great quality."

Lush Perfect Night Champagne Satin Cowl Neck Culotte Jumpsuit, $, available at Lulus

Athleta Nighttime Bliss Sleep V Neck Romper


Best Loungewear Jumpsuit


This super soft and drapey jumpsuit is so comfy that it's literally meant to put you to sleep. Luckily, the silhouette is also passable for daytime hours, too.

The Hype: 4.75 out of 5 stars and 216 reviews on athleta.gap.com

What They're Saying: "I LOVE this piece. I know it's marketed as pajamas, but I absolutely wear this out. It's so soft, comfortable and flattering on. I throw a colorful sports bra on underneath and boom, it's adorable for day. Pair with a jean jacket or cardigan and it's super cute for cool nights. Will definitely be buying in other colors."

Athleta Nighttime Bliss Sleep V Neck Romper, $, available at Athleta

The Hype: 4.8 out of 5 stars and 24 reviews

What They're Saying: "Have worn this every day since I got it. It feels so great on. Lovely, airy fabric — no wrinkling — lots of pockets. Perfect for travel one day and for everyday wear."

Lululemon Ventlight™ Zippered Jumpsuit, $, available at Lululemon

Lacausa Prana Unitard


Best Low-Impact Workout Jumpsuit


Okay, we know, this one could be categorized under "bodysuit" — but what makes this athletic one-piece so versatile are the flared bottoms. A small detail that makes all the style difference.

For other color options, check out lacausaclothing.com.

The Hype: 5 out of 5 stars and 1 review on prismboutique.com

What They're Saying: "Love this comfy, cool unitard from LACAUSA. The fabric is thicker than I expected, but it provides a bit of compression (which is always good for a unitard) and I love the slightly flared crop leg on these. I wear it hanging around the house but I could run errands in this, too."

Lacausa Tar Prana Unitard, $, available at Prism Boutique

Vuori Lux Romper


Best Exercise Jumpsuit


The exercise dress has taken off — will the exercise jumpsuit be the next big activewear trend? If so, we're betting this style from Vuori will lead the way, with its racerback top and jogger bottom that has a slightly relaxed fit.

The Hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 356 reviews on vuoriclothing.com

What They're Saying: "This Lux Romper is cute, versatile and stylish. I wore it on a flight and it was so comfortable. It's super athletic-y and fashion-y."

Vuori Lux Romper, $, available at Vuori

Prettygarden Casual V Neck Jumpsuit with Pockets

Armor Up: The Latest Fashion Trend Is Straight Out Of Medieval Times

Once upon a time, people wore metal armor to fight in battle and participate in jousting tournaments. While the Knight’s Tale days are long behind us, lately, designers have been taking some cues from the Middle Ages and presenting chainmail-inspired looks in their collections. 

The modern iteration of the trend has been some time in the making. Take, for example, Tom Ford’s Spring 2020 collection, which showcased a slew of glossy breastplates that were strapped to the bodies of the models like futuristic versions of Maximus’ armor in Gladiator. The look was quickly embraced: Zendaya wore the pink version to the 2020 Critics’ Choice Awards, while Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in the same piece on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’s February 2020 issue. (The trend came back to the red carpet this week when actress Elle Fanning wore a Balmain Spring 2022 embellished link crop top to the 2021 InStyle Awards.)

For more proof of the trend’s pervasiveness, see Schiaparelli’s recent collections. The fall 2021 couture line featured metal bras, nipple coverings, and full-torso breastplates (that came equipped with six-packs!). Meanwhile, the fall 2021 ready-to-wear lineup mimicked the armor look in a more subtle way, with gold waist belts, metal bodice-shaped plates (with a belly button included!), and boob-shaped metal bras.

For spring 2022, it was Loewe’s Jonathan Anderson that took inspiration from King Arthur. The designer juxtaposed easy jersey dresses with gold and silver metal plates in amorphous shapes, as well as sent out trench coats (worn backward!) adorned with foil-looking bodice pieces. 

While this trend may have started trickling in before the pandemic took hold, if we are to believe the recent runways, it’s about to really take off now, almost two years after the worldwide health and social crisis left people feeling vulnerable and exposed. Following the mass adoption of surgical face masks, full-face coverings, and gloves amid the pandemic, the armor trend is a continuation of the skin-to-world boundaries we’ve since set. Like the knights who walked around in full-on armor as they fought plague in the Middle Ages, we, too, are now ready for battle and dressed accordingly. 

Sure, a field armor — which, according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, weighed between 45 to 55 pounds — is heavier than most modern-day garments, but have you seen fashion’s go-to platform shoes recently? And because designers are moving away from head-to-toe metal suits, creating new types of shields that border the line of jewelry and clothing, today’s armor is versatile enough to wear around town. The styling is more casual, with chainmail-like pieces and metal plates paired with easygoing maxi skirts, jeans, and trench coats that add interest to the otherwise minimal looks.

It’s often said that clothing is a type of armor, but, if you want to take it literally, now is the time.
