No.

Also OP even if you use the correct term of overalls almost no one in the U.S. has worn these or seen them in person. They’re used as working gear on farms and occasionally in painters studios. So yeah, the normal department store associate will have no idea what you’re asking for and it’s unlikely to find them in a non-farming store anyway.


You really think most Americans wouldn't know overalls? They may not be widely common but you do see them. Workmen. Lots of kids have a pair from when they were younger. Some hipsters wear them as adults. It's a pretty iconic item of clothing.


So what are they called by most non workmen people? Osh Kosh?


Overalls.

Oshkosh is a children’s clothing brand. They make overalls but they’re not synonymous.

Coveralls are what a mechanic would wear over his clothes while he works, sort of like a one piece long sleeve shirt and pants, usually in gray or navy.

A jumper would be an overall style dress, usually above the knee and worn by young girls, not necessarily denim. Could be corduroy.

A jumpsuit is similar to overalls, but calls to mind the orange garb prisoners wear.


I always thought they were called jumpers. They are worn by either boys or girls.

They are called “dungarees” in the UK.

Overalls to me, though.

If by "this STYLE of clothing" you actually mean the name for this "ITEM" of clothing, the answer is overalls. But I'm not originally from the US either.

I think maybe some Americans could also call them coveralls, but not sure about that. They're overalls to me.

When I call stores over the phone some of the millennial employees do not seem to know what I am talking about.
English is not my first language so that is why I am asking here.
