Ahead, we’re bringing you 12 Pinterest-approved pinafore and overall dresses that you need to invest in ahead of festival season. Proceed to toss ‘em over mock-neck crop tops, v-neck tees, and colorful crochet bralets for no shortage of street cred.
Among A Cutting Overall Dress
Is it an apron? Is it a denim dress? No, it’s definitely the latter. (And let it be known: There’s nothing dowdy or matronly about it.) The snap-front closure and trend-right frayed hem would even receive an invisible high-five from the trendsetting crowd. Just add a neon vinyl fanny pack and lazy girl-approved mules FTW.Topshop Moto White Denim Pinafore Dress
Nothing says upcoming summer concert series like a ‘90s-inspired pini dress that goes with anything and everything. (AKA: Get ready to be a repeat outfit offender.) Dial it down with an Adidas track jacket, a baseball cap, and Stan Smiths for a festival-going getup that will have you kickin’ it cool in no time.Free People The Patchwork Jumper Dress
If you can dig it, team this wardrobe workhorse with a ringer tee, old-school Vans, and cactus earrings for a “trying, but not trying too hard” vibe.Zara Faux Leather Pinafore Dress With Zip
Take a stand with this bottle green leather style that will serve as a foundation to all your feminist loving apparel. You already know embroidered ankle booties and oversized hoops are in order.Mango Metallic Appliqués Pinafore Dress

Boho babes, proceed to swipe right for this effortless pinafore dress (how darling is that embroidered print?).

Get ready to slay hard (who moi? Yes, YOU.) with this paint-splattered pinafore dress that requires a distressed t-shirt, an off-duty army green parka, and combat boots.Topshop Velvet Pinafore Dress
You had us at crushed velvet pinafore dress that gives off a certain je ne sais quoi quality that all the French girls swear by. (We’re also partial to the scene-stealing lilac hue.)

Allow this botanical overall dress — with kangaroo pockets, no less! — to serve as your cue to ditch the winter layers and embrace an island girl state of mind. Woven huaraches and a chic ascot scarf will have you soaking up all the rays down in the Colorado Desert.K/Lab Pinafore Dress
