Women's Loose Denim Bib vs Dickies Women's Denim Bib Overall

The Dickies Women's Denim Bib Overall is the better workwear pick: straight legs, a fly zipper, tool loops, a hammer loop, a key loop and eight pockets, including a chest pocket with pencil division. The other bib is a looser, wide-leg fashion take with two hand pockets and one bib patch pocket, so it suits casual outfits more than job sites. Both are cotton denim with adjustable straps, and owners of the Dickies style report accurate sizing and solid construction, while the loose bib draws complaints that XL runs small. Buy the Dickies for actual work; buy the loose bib for the 1990s look.

• Choose the loose denim bib if you want a wide-leg, relaxed silhouette for weekends and casual outfits rather than a tool-carrying work garment.
• Choose the Dickies Women's Denim Bib Overall if you need real workwear details like tool loops, a hammer loop, a fly zipper and eight pockets in a straight-leg cut.
