[[wikt:salopettes|Salopettes]] is the French word for bib-and-brace overalls. The word is used in English for a similar garment to overalls worn for [[sailing]], [[skiing]], [[Underwater diving|diving]], and other heavy-duty activities. They are made of wind-and-waterproof trousers, traditionally with a high waist reaching to the chest and held up by adjustable shoulder braces.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dictionary.com/browse/salopettes|title=the definition of salopettes|website=Dictionary.com|access-date=November 25, 2017}}</ref><ref name="Parisienne">{{Cite news|language=fr|url=http://www.leparisien.fr/laparisienne/mode/une-histoire-de-salopette-24-05-2010-934858.php|title=Une histoire de salopette|date=May 24, 2010|newspaper=[[Le Parisien|La Parisienne]]|access-date=March 27, 2018|archive-date=March 27, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180327212732/http://www.leparisien.fr/laparisienne/mode/une-histoire-de-salopette-24-05-2010-934858.php|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Historically, military "overalls" were loose garments worn in the 18th and early 19th centuries over soldiers' breeches and gaiters when on active service or in barracks. After 1823, the term was replaced by "trousers" in British Army documents, but it survives to the present day in reference to the tight-fitting garments strapped under the instep, worn as part of the [[mess dress]] and [[full dress]] uniforms of cavalry regiments.<ref>{{cite book|first=W.Y.|last=Carman|page=97|title=A Dictionary of Military Uniform|isbn=0-684-15130-8|year=1977|publisher=Scribner }}</ref>
