Oh My Osh Kosh B'Gosh......They're Baaaackkkkk!

Chika Chika Yeaaa....As the beloved Mclovin' so graciously put it! They're back y'all and with a VENGEANCE

First of all, if you had to remember one thing about being a kid, it was Osh Kosh B'Gosh overalls! They had them in every color, size, some with prints and some with zips. You saw everyone from your momma and neighbours, right up to the freshest celebrities of the decade. Cough* Cough* (Aaliyah....Will Smith)?!

Some people (The Shriveled and uncool) might argue that they were unflattering because they just hung straight down, or they were to baggy. Those folks just don't know style, there were so many ways to wear them. You could have 1 strap hanging, or you could have the front flap hangin', Twist the straps (like Winona Ryder in the picture above),raise a pant leg or Criss Cross!


There was really no verifiable explanation for engaging in this half-fastened overall behavior as it served no functional purpose. If anything, it was pretty inconvenient to have a strap with an attached eye-piercing piece of metal swinging around your person all day.
Or if you were into a little more pseudo-rebellion, the double unhooked look was also quite the rage.

You may ask yourself why you'd choose to wear overalls if you didn't plan on utilizing their basic functionality, and you would most certainly be right to question this blatant idiocy. In fact, it would be much more convenient to simply don some sportswear separates, but these 90s kids just weren't having it. No, we'd throw on a belt to hold those babies up. No shame in that. Okay, a little shame. Alright, alright, loads of shame. I'll never forget my 6Th grade school picture, I was wearing my favorite navy blue flared overalls (Yes, I know I was a hip child), Platform shoes and everything! Anyway, since we were the oldest class, we had to take our pictures last, and during lunch I spilled some kind of sauce SPLAT! in the middle of my overalls! I was pissed, some even suggested I remover the straps and flap for the picture, but I'd be damned if I wasn't taking my picture in those overalls. Anyway the pictures came out horrible and i ended up actually lighting the pictures on fire and shooting them in the garbage, but the point is...I wore my overalls, and I'd do it again Dammit!



But it's back baby and the made them sexier!, Ooh there WILL be brotha's staring ladies. Not only are they more modern looking, they are now formfitting, with different cuts. I'm talking bott cut, skinny's, shorts, skirts, You could probably even make a pair if you really wanted to. So if you didn't know...NOW YOU DO, so take your shot at being a part of the past today!
