If I was a size 8 rather than a whale - I'd wear that !
I am 49 by the way.

Daffodilsugar · 22/06/2024 13:42

Honestly - 5.

Andnowshesatoddler · 22/06/2024 13:43

When I'm six foot under. It's fabulous! If I had your figure I'd live in it.

MintTwirl · 22/06/2024 13:44

Whenever I decided I didn’t want to wear it anymore. I’ve seen loads of prints like that around and lots of people in play suits,

purpleme12 · 22/06/2024 13:44

I don't think you can put an exact age on it.
Regardless of age, some people can pull that off and some people can't.

wizzywig · 22/06/2024 13:44

Depends? 2yrs or as long as you're in employment in a nursery/ working with kids. But I'm a miserable cow who doesnt understand why adults have those shaun the sheep backpacks

YourWinter · 22/06/2024 13:45

I don’t think playsuits work for anyone out of nappies, too much faff to go to the loo and frankly just a bit ridiculous.

MartyFunkhouser · 22/06/2024 13:45

About 10.

Garlicker · 22/06/2024 13:45

Well, I stopped wearing wearing rompers with pictures on them at about 6. They're currently fashionable, though, and some women love this look so much, they never stopped wearing them! So ... at the age you stop wanting to wear them 🐱‍🐉

You look nice, though I'd have gone for chunkier footwear.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 22/06/2024 13:46

I'm 69 and I'd not, largely because I don't have those fabulous legs. You, however, do have them and you look great.

darksigns · 22/06/2024 13:46

I’ll tell you when I get to that point, no sign of it yet.

Bjorkdidit · 22/06/2024 13:46

I wouldn't stop wearing it due to age, I like that but I'd not want to have to deal with it when I was busting for a wee but I'd say that whether I was 20, 50 or 92.

qwertyasdfgzxcv · 22/06/2024 13:47

I think it's personality rather than age. It's not really my style so for me, probably never, but I wouldn't be bothered either people in their 40s, 50s wearing it as I don't think age matters! I often think that Lucy and Yak styles could be worn by toddlers or women in their 60s

Purplecatshopaholic · 22/06/2024 13:48

If I liked it, I’d wear it! Age is not a barrier. I love the style of that so would totally wear it if it didn’t have dinosaurs on it (not my thing, lol). You look great in it.

Bjorkdidit · 22/06/2024 13:48

Meaning to say if it was a dress, I'd wear it with cycling shorts or thick tights and boots in winter.

MrsWidgerysLodger · 22/06/2024 13:50

I'm 43 and id happily still wear this.

Prawncow · 22/06/2024 13:51

It’s just the print that I wouldn’t wear, not the style.

Goddessonahighway · 22/06/2024 13:52

I didn't realise it was a photo of you wearing it. I thought it was from a website. You look great in it.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 22/06/2024 13:52

Same here. I do envy women with the confidence to rock that, though.

VeronicaBeccabunga · 22/06/2024 13:52

I'm in my 60s. I'd wear it if I had the legs.
I do own a dinosaur-covered top, which I love to bits.

systemicmotivations · 22/06/2024 13:53

Whenever you no longer enjoy it. Why do you ask? Playsuits have been around as long as I can remember and always look good and feel comfy. I have about 6 playsuits at the moment and I'm late 40s, short in height and a size 10/12.

systemicmotivations · 22/06/2024 13:54

I should add mine aren't patterned but that's personal preference. Wear what you like.

PerfectTravelTote · 22/06/2024 13:57

Age 8.
