Talk to me about dungarees

[itallwentwrongat30]

I know they aren't to everyone's tastes so if you have just come on to say it's a no please don't :( I have just taken a wee want for a pair - are they comfy?? I was thinking the boyfriend fit as opposed skinny leg

[Thinkle]

I’ve been converted over lockdown. Mine are Fat Face Lewis (size down) and I think fit your criteria of boyfriend. I’ve worn them loads but I haven’t styled them in the way I thought I would. I assumed it would be plain Ts and maybe a stripe but actually I prefer them with a bright cami or a tight plain vest that shows my waist. So a bit less utilitarian.
Someone on here described the Breton stripe top with dungarees as a CBeebies presenter and I think they nailed it.
Will be throwing on an oversized chunky knit cardi for the winter. And big earings 😁
And yes, very comfy!

Thank you :) Haha yes I can see the comparison!! I was thinking warm knitted jumpers underneath for winter - I don't venture far so don't need to be stylish but don't want to put my OH off haha. I have never ever had any incling for dungarees either so maybe its a lockdown thing....

I love mine! I've got a black and dark blue pair.

I either wear with plain jumper or a Victorian style blouse underneath (sounds weird but swear it doesn't look it!)

[Roominmyhouse]

I bought some from run and fly and they are so comfy!

[CityDweller]

I bought some recently and I love them! Mine are from Sea Salt. And now I’ve got a hankering for some more - probably some Lucy & Yak ones.

[itallwentwrongat30]

Maybe I have just found my people haha! My friends thought I had lost it but I already looking for another pair in black!

[Alonelonelyloner]

Wow I love dungarees so damn much but haven't worn them for years due to my ex telling me I look shit in them.
I may treat myself to some and send him a photo!
Following for dungarees advice.

I’ve probably got about 12 pairs ranging from Run & Fly (twill), Lucy & Yak (cords are my favourite) & a couple custom made. I like to wear really fitted tops/jumpers underneath (yes some do feature a stripe!) as I think it shows off my waist better. I pretty much live in my dungarees. Really comfy

[Craftycorvid]

I love a dunga and can’t see the prejudice against them. I wear mine a lot and have more than one pair. Lucy and Yaks are lovely for funky styles and Toast OAS great for a classic blue denim style.

[Incrediblytired]

I love them! I got some cheap ones from Sainsburys and live in them...I’d love some Lucy and yak ones!

[IceniWarrior]

I've been so tempted but can an under five foot person get away with it or will I look childlike?

[MikeUniformMike]

The Fat Face Lewes ones are great. I wouldn't size down.

I like my dungarees to be a bit like the Bananarama look (Cruel Summer) and I love the Lucy and Yak Lunas. I dislike the printed fabric though. If you order L&Y, follow the size guide.

I also have Gap denim ones, short and long.

[MissBridgetJones]

Recently bought some too (GAP) and they are HEAVEN! Partner called me Mrs Mop (I had a headscarf tied around my messy bun) and DSD told me I look like a farmer! Well balls to them - I look mad feel great x

[MissBridgetJones]

I might look mad, but I meant *and!

[FolkSongSweet]

I’d like to get some too, but looking for clip ones - I’ll be bf so don’t want to faff around with the Lucy and Yak ties. Where do people recommend? I’ll check out Seasalt, think Toast out of my price range atm!

[Terralee]

My sister wears Gap ones with black crop tops or black jumpers underneath, she looks good & very stylish.

[FusionChefGeoff]

I've hopefully got some coming for my birthday . Gap had a 30% sale on I think...

[Thankssomuch]

I love mine, they’re from Toast a couple of years ago. I wear them with either a silk shirt, lacy high neck blouse, or fine knit sweaters, or a tee shirt.

[Ellapaella]

I have Run & Fly dungarees. Mine are the skinny soft black ones and really comfortable.

In winter I wear with a close fitting knitted jumper or skinny rib top or polo neck underneath. Mine below in pics.
I've seen the Fatface ones on others and really like them too. I have a baggier pair from gap which are boyfriend style but they work better in the summer with a vest top or short sleeve top underneath.

I've worn them for a few years now - I'm also old enough to not care at all what anyone thinks of what I'm wearing though!

I love them. So comfortable (no waistband!), very practical (all those pockets!), and very versatile too. Most of mine are Lucy & Yak, Run & Fly and also some denim ones from White Stuff.

For anyone wondering about the Lucy & Yak ties by the way, you don't need to undo them - you can just slip the straps off your shoulders.

[seven201]

I've got two pairs, one of which is home made (very similar to lucy and yak). I love them both but I always feel pregnant in them, which is ironic as I've been doing ivf for a while now! I made myself a dungaree style pinafore in a thick cord the other day . Go for it!

[itallwentwrongat30]

thanks for all your replies! To the pp who was told she looked like a farmer...I am a farmer (kind of) but i refuse to wear them on the farm as I don't want them to get dirty haha! :)
