Definition of bib overalls

bib overallsnoun

quần yếm

/ˈbɪb əʊvərɔːlz//ˈbɪb əʊvərɔːlz/

The term "bib overalls" is commonly used to refer to a type of workwear that consists of a jumpsuit with a bib-like neck covering to protect clothing from dirt or spills. The origin of this word can be traced back to the mid-19th century in the United States, where it was first used to describe overalls designed specifically for farm laborers. At the time, overalls were already a popular form of workwear due to their durability and practicality, but they lacked the extra protection needed for tasks like harvesting crops or handling agricultural machinery. In response, a new type of overall was introduced with a reinforcement or bib-like collar to shield the worker's chest and shoulders from exposure to dirt, dust, and other debris. The name "bib overalls" was coined to accurately describe this new style of workwear, as it combined the features of a bib apron (worn by butchers and housemaids to keep their clothing clean) with the overall design (which already featured reinforced pockets and legs for durability). The term quickly gained popularity and was widely adopted in the United States, becoming a standard term for workwear that offered increased protection and versatility on the job. Today, bib overalls can be found in a variety of settings, from construction sites to factories and beyond, and are widely available in a range of materials and colors to suit different needs and preferences. This workwear staple has remained popular for over 150 years, thanks to its durability, versatility, and practicality, and shows no signs of falling out of fashion anytime soon.
