It also conveys some level of being unable to dress oneself easily; it's easy to get a kid into overalls since they're a one-piece garment that covers the majority of the torso and legs, meaning less clothing to get ruined and more protection from scrapes and bruises. In some cases, overalls are done when a child is prevalent to [[NakedPeopleAreFunny taking their clothes off in public]] -- it's much harder for a young child to strip completely out of overalls fast, though not impossible. They also show up as a more formal outfit for young boys who aren't quite old enough for a suit and have them be, if not dressed up, dressy enough. Kids can also be in overalls as the rural character variant (such as the CountryCousin) that signifies them as of rural background compared to more "towny" characters. The urban/inner city variant with street smarts/cool fashion interpretation, like with older characters, has started to fall out of fashion. Jumper dresses (called pinafore dresses in the UK) are a variant, where the pants lower half is replaced with a skirt. Jumper dresses can be made either of denim or of something fancier; they also convey older ideas of pinafores, a separate bib and apron garment worn over nice clothing which was easier to launder in a time when washing clothes was not only hard work, but rough on the clothes.

They're also good at conveying a lot about a character.
