I can see the point that you're making here, and apparently that's what OP meant, but I hope you can see why I read it the way that I did.

Not really. OP made a clear distinction between proper overalls worn by people in trade for practical reasons vs. "cute" ones that aren't mean to be practical items of clothing. Not at all classist, in other words. Seems to me you were looking for a reason to be offended, though I can't imagine why.

I could see it if OP had spoken disparagingly at all of trade jobs or even implicitly looked down on them, but they really didn't. Can you explain why you read it that way?

I didn't read it as being about practical versus impractical. I read "cute" not as focusing on the impracticality, but as being about... people who are trying to be fashionable and look cute, I guess? So the way that I read it was that OP thought it was weird that people who were trying to be fashionable were wearing things that "only belong on farmers/plumbers/etc". That there was somehow a gap where, like, those things should never be considered fashionable precisely because they "only belong" on tradespeople - not because they're practical for tradespeople, but because there's some sort of class-based appropriateness. Yeah.

TBH, really, a lot of the reason that I interpreted it that way comes down to that specific phrase - "they only belong on". Makes it sound like some kind of natural law.

I see where you're coming from now, but I think you're being really pedantic with that phrase and assigning it a lot of intent that I didn't read into it at all.

Well, like I said, my interpretation was clearly wrong. But that was my reaction.
