To add, I don't judge those who do though. It's just not for me,

SmellsLikeMiddleAgeSpirit · 22/06/2024 15:24

I'd wear it today if I had the legs!
Instead though, I have a dinosaur print jumpsuit which is my favourite thing ever, and a dress with dinosaur skeletons on it.

I'm 55

In your previous post though, you absolutely ARE judging by saying you "prefer to dress as an adult".
This garment is clearly intended for an adult and is being worn by one.

I think it's super cute and you have the figure for it - but i'd say late 20s

Enoughwiththisshit · 22/06/2024 15:29

Personally? Not for me as an adult (though I would have loved it as a kid). My style is just different now.

However, it'd make me smile and feel happy if I saw another adult wearing it and enjoying it.

Dinosaumug · 22/06/2024 15:35

I'd wear it and I'm 58!

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

😂love this comment

Dinosaumug · 22/06/2024 15:36

Agree that I'd ditch the footwear for Converse or something similar

It depends on your personality and lifestyle. For me, I wouldn't wear that print over the age of 5, but others might be able to own it!

mondaytosunday · 22/06/2024 15:43

6? My teen would look at me like I was nuts of if I got that for her, even if she was 10.

Why should there be an age limit? If it makes you happy and you feel good in it - go for it.
Life is too short to regret not wearing the dinosaur outfit!

downwithmaterialistdogma · 22/06/2024 15:46

I think if you're genuinely quirky/alternative (not the fake "look at meeeee, I'm crazy" sort), eccentric or very confident you can get away with wearing something like that.

I wouldn’t have worn a romper at any age but I’d wear a skirt with that print and I’m 40. I’m not massively into dinosaurs but I do like some novelty prints (the skirt I currently have on is covered in constellations) and I love the colours on that. It’s impossible to answer what age would I stop wearing it… I think people should wear whatever they like and feel good in regardless of their age

theriseandfallofFranklinSaint · 22/06/2024 15:48

Well I wouldn't wear it as its not my thing however I sometimes look like I've just walked out of a JD store so what do I know? 😁

tiggergoesbounce · 22/06/2024 15:48

When it stops suiting you, or you start to dislike it.

incessantpunditry · 22/06/2024 15:49

I like it, and I would wear it at home when nobody else was around

Can't say I'd look good in it though.😂

Cakeandcardio · 22/06/2024 15:50

I wouldn't let other people's views influence what I wear. Just wear what you fancy no matter what age you are!
You look fab in this!

PadstowGirl · 22/06/2024 16:00

Suits you OP.
I'd wear it but with leggings underneath as I don't have your great legs.

pocketheart · 22/06/2024 16:02

I'm 52 and I'd wear that!
Where is it from?

Pickingmyselfup · 22/06/2024 16:05

It's cute! I'm not a dinosaur fan so it wouldn't be something I would go for but I love the colours.

During the mask wearing period I bought some kids masks with dinosaurs on for me because adult ones were too big. Despite not being into dinosaurs I bought them because they made me smile and I still smile when I think about them.

So if you are 7 or 70, if your clothes make me you smile then wear them whatever!!

Silviasilvertoes · 22/06/2024 16:06

Well I’m 44 (size 10) and I’d definitely wear it, but I teach forest school and have a wild collection of dungarees and jumpsuits because the children like them.

edited to say that I do get lots of compliments from grown ups on them too!

And OP, you look fab, it really suits you.

That looks great and also dinosaurs are the best.

Camembertcufflinks · 22/06/2024 16:07

You look gorgeous OP! I would wear that (and wear similar!) and somehow I still have a big corporate job. There are some really unkind comments on here- dressing as your authentic self will always be attractive to genuine, nice people. Ignore the rest!
