A one piece mechanic suit refers to normal mechanic coveralls that come as one piece. These mechanic overalls cover the entire body from the neck to the ankle. They often feature bottom-up buttons at the front for easy wear and removal. This is the most common among mechanic suits as it is convenient and is the most traditional type of mechanic suit. A mechanic jumpsuit can also be one piece. Short-sleeved coveralls have short sleeves, which makes the only difference between this type of mechanic suit and the one-piece mechanic suit. They are often used by mechanics in areas with hot weather conditions. The short-sleeved mechanic suits are often made of light, waterproof fabric due to their major use in hot weather conditions.

Cargo-styled mechanic suits feature many pockets to provide extra space for holding the hand tools used by the mechanic. Double-set mechanic suits refer to a type of mechanic suit that comes with a separate top and bottom to allow for versatile modification. Unlike the one-piece mechanic suit, the double set could have different fabrics and colors for the top and bottom. Nevertheless, similar material fabrics and colors could be used for uniformity. Usually, a mechanic uniform can include a mechanic shirt and pants as work wear.
