On-Duty
Overall shorts might seem like a major office no-no, and we’ll admit that you might not want to don them if you have an important presentation or meeting on your schedule. But for casual Fridays, they’re fair game. Pair them up with nine-to-five classics like a button-down shirt, blazer and bluchers for a little #girlboss flair, then get funky with bold, bright accessories and an eye-catching pink lip.

Party On
Who said denim can’t be fancy? Give those shortalls a touch of the glam treatment with a metallic gold top and shimmery statement earrings. Dramatic purple eyeliner offers a unique pop of color to your night-out ensemble, while fringe-flecked heels pack just the right amount of sass.

Off-Duty
Breathing new life into these understated dungarees is incredibly easy. All you need are a few upgraded versions of all your weekend faves: t-shirts, sandals, shades and of course, a killer bag. Trade out your go-to topper for a textured tee with flirty ruffle detailing and kick those flip flops and Birks to the curb for a pair of fabulous flatforms. Add on an embellished turban and a modern take on retro shades for the ultimate off-duty getup.
