I’m 46 and I wear dungarees, I’ve had plenty of compliments whilst wearing them. They’re not everyones cup of tea but tbh I don’t give two hoots if anyone thinks I look ridiculous. They’re bloody comfy!

Flat bum - not so good. Do some butt shaping exercises! Also, apparently the Next girls dungarees are big enough for adults. Age 15 is good for size 8/10 and age 16 is good for size 12/14.

The answer to this question is always "yes", whatever your age or body type. Dungarees are amazing. Ignore the grumps.

No.
They are only for crawling babies and toddlers.

Baggy ones look fab - the skinny ones I'm not so keen on. Each to their own though...
I've been lusting after some for ages - but haven't taken the plunge as yet, purely because I have broad shoulders and big boobs and would probably look like I'm wearing a sack Wink. I'm late 40's.

Get them if you want them who cares what anyone else thinks?

I look awesome in them at 40. Grin
Skinny jeans didn't get a look in after I got dungarees.

I'm old enough to be OP's DM. I have several pairs.

I’m too fat but if I were slim and didn’t have a ludicrously long torso I totally would. They’re not that much different to a jumpsuit really and jumpsuits have become firmly mainstream.

I believe that everyone should wear whatever they damn well want. However, I will say that I think dungerees are really hard to look good in and normally only work, imo, if you are the artsyist of artsy people!

But like I say, wear what you want and fuck what other people think Grin

@KindergartenKop I believe it’s a help although I think width is also important. I have an hourglass shape - I think less pronounced the bottom the better in the case of dungarees.
