It feels like summer is going by so fast this year. I don’t know if it’s just me but, I honestly cannot wait for college to start again. I miss seeing all of my friends and If I’m being honest, I miss my favorite professor. Sure, we still hang out but in college, we would be together literally 24/7. During break, we have to spend time with family and are busy doing whatever it is that we’re doing.

Anyway, enough of my rant. With school about to start again in a month or so, it’s time to start brainstorming ideas for senior overalls. If you don’t know what they are, they’re basically decorated overalls seniors wear during homecoming or spirit week. They can be as simple or as extravagant as you’d like.

I’m sure they’ll look insanely good no matter how you decide to decorate.

SENIOR OVERALLS IDEAS

1. WRITE YOUR NAME

If you want something super simple for your senior overalls, you can just add your name. Buy some colorful letter decals and just iron on the letters that make up your name. You can buy them from Amazon or Etsy for a really cheap price.

2. FABRIC TRIM

How cute is this overall idea? Adding fabric trim around the edges of the bottom half is such a great idea to add a little flare to your decor. It makes all of the other decorations pop out more as well.

3. COORDINATE WITH FRIENDS

I mentioned this earlier, but coordinating your overall decorations with your group of friends is such a great idea. You can make them as simple or as extravagant as you’d like. You can match the colors, the fabric, or the fonts. Plus, they will look insanely good in pictures.

4. ADD MINI POM POMS

Make your senior overall stand out by adding mini pom poms. You can add them on the front with a patch of fabric or on the edges of the pants. You’ll just need a hot glue gun and mini pom poms or mini pom pom fabric trim to recreate this look.

5. ALL OUT OVERALLS

How insane do these overalls look? I love literally everything about these! If you are debating whether you should go all out or stick to something simple, take a look at these and decide. You can make the front very minimal and make the back look like this.

6. SHORTS OVERALL

Not many people wear shorts overall. They usually just stick to the long pants version. So, if you want to be a little unique and stand out from the crowd, recreate these shorts overalls instead. Plus, they have less space to work so it’s great if you want to make something simple.

7. COLOR THEME

Another super simple way to decorate your senior overalls is sticking to a theme color. It looks super neat, cohesive, and is very easy to make. You can use your favorite color or something that pops out and grabs everyone’s attention like bright pink or blue like above.

8. ADD FAUX FUR

If you want to give your senior overalls an extra oomph, then you need to try adding faux fur to the bottom of the pants. You can choose any color you want and simply use a hot glue gun to secure it in place.

9. INITIAL FABRIC PATCH

Attach a fabric patch with your letter initials. This is such a fun and easy way to personalize your overalls and make it yours. You can make the letter a bolder, brighter color to make it stand out and add some mini pom poms to complete the look.

10. STARS GALORE

If you’re looking for simple senior overalls ideas then this is the one for you! Stars are one of the easiest designs to add to your overalls. You can use star patches and just iron them on or draw them yourself using a paint pen.

11. ADD STICKER PATCHES

This is another one of my favorite senior overalls ideas. This overall is insanely cute but looks even better with all of the gorgeous sticker patches. They make it look so much more elevated and cheery. There are so many options on Amazon and Etsy you can choose from. You just have to iron them on, I mean talk about convenience.

12. MATCH WITH YOUR BESTIE

I love matching with my best friend in literally everything. We look like super cute twins, and these overalls are no exception. Get together with your bestie and come up with similar or the same design choices to put on your overalls. Make sure to think of the color scheme and how simple or extravagant you want them to be.

13. ANIMAL PRINTS

Animal prints are another fun way to decorate your overalls. You can buy animal print letters or patches and iron them on for a cute and unique look. You can add cheetah prints, zebra, tiger, leopard, or any other animal you like.

14. EASY OVERALLS

If you don’t want to go all out for your senior overall, then you should definitely give this a try. It’s super minimal, simple, and very easy to recreate. You’ll just need a white (or any color) paint pen, a few fabric patches, and mini pom poms to complete the look.

15. WHITE OVERALLS

The most common type of overalls almost everyone wears is blue denim. If you want something different, go with white. This will make you stand out more and all of your decorations, patterns, and colors will also pop out more against the white.

16. INCORPORATE YOUR SCHOOL MASCOT

I absolutely love the idea of incorporating your school’s mascot as a part of your decoration. Depending on your school’s mascot, you can draw/paint paws or wings (they are the most common) to represent your school.

17. MINIMAL OVERALLS IDEA

If you’re creating something super last minute and want something that is very easy to recreate and doesn’t take up a lot of time, then this is the one for you. Grab your overalls and simply write down “senior” and your graduating year. It’ll take literally less than 10 minutes.

18. CUTE SENIOR OVERALLS

Here is another super cute and easy senior overalls idea you will love. Buy some fabric patches, letters, and numbers in different colors and patterns. Then grab your trusty iron and secure them in place. Play around with the different elements and see which placements you like best.

19. WRITE DOWN SENIOR

This is one of if not THE most popular and common senior overalls decorating ideas. You will be seeing them on almost everyone. It’s super easy to recreate and very cute. It’s also a great way to fill up any empty space so it looks more “done”.

20. ADD RUFFLES

I absolutely love ruffles. I think they are super flattering and look amazing on almost anyone. You can add some on the neckline, on the waist, or on the hem of your pants. There are a lot of different colors to choose from but I suggest white because it goes with any aesthetic.

21. METALLIC LETTERS

This is another one of my favorite overall ideas that is super easy to DIY. Just buy some metallic or shiny letters and iron them on your overalls. They’re cheap and will definitely catch people’s eyes.

22. INCORPORATE YOUR SCHOOL MOTTO/SLOGAN

If you’re looking for easy senior overalls ideas, then give this one a try. Consider incorporating your school’s motto or slogan on your overall. For example, my high school’s motto was “Go firebirds”. This way, you’ll be representing your school and also have something clever on.

23. USE DIFFERENT COLORS

Using different colors and designs on either leg of the overalls is a great idea. You can use different patterns, stickers, or words to create something unique and beautiful.

24. USE LIGHTER COLORS

Using lighter colors for your senior overalls is a great idea because it won’t be too harsh and will go perfectly with any other designs you add. Light/pastel yellow and green are just one example of the amazing color combos you can choose from.

25. ADD SOME PINK

Pink is another popular color that most seniors will incorporate into their overalls. It’s so popular because it is great at capturing attention, is “girly”, and looks insanely good. You can incorporate this color through letters, stickers, or ruffles like above.

26. USE SCHOOL COLORS

If you can’t decide which colors to use for your overalls, then just use your school’s colors. This way, you won’t be stressing out about what looks best and what doesn’t. You can also add some different pattern patches and mini pom poms to complete the look.

27. BRIGHT OVERALLS IDEA

If you really want to stand out and garner compliments, then create an overall that is very bright. Incorporate colors like pink, blue, red, and purple. All of which are very bright and work amazingly well at capturing attention.
