To Want To Buy Dungarees?

[AnotherBoringSaturday]

For myself.

I’m mid 40’s. Size 6

Keep imaging wearing them in the summer looking ‘jaunty’ & relaxed.

Has that ship sailed though ?

Am mid 40s (well, late mid 40s!), but not a size 6, would love to get some but fear I'll end up looking like Mille Tant from Viz, or a random oldie from Dexy's Midnight Runners. Could cope with latter but not former! Go for it!!

Nah, the ship has never sailed, but I couldn't be doing with the faffing about when needing a pee :D

The ship has definitely not sailed!

I’m spending this summer in jumpsuits (ASOS have some great ‘minimal’ ones)and dungarees. They’re great - I’m comfy yet look put together all at the same time.

If you’re going for dungarees I’d suggest ones with a relaxed but not baggy leg as the tight ones can make you feel trapped especially when it’s hot.

I want some. At a size 16 am not sure I can pull them off though

I’d forgotten about the going to the loo malarkey but figure it can’t be as bad as going to the loo when ‘bodies’ were the must haves
@LittleMysPonytail - will be checking Asos out today thank you

Dungarees are the comfiest things ever! I bought some last year. I'm size 18-20 and am nearly 50!

I saw a woman who was probably in her sixties wearing bright red cropped dungarees the other day. She looked completely aces. I still wear my maternity ones. I love them.

I’m 43 and I have some skinny black ones! They look really good!

Now that's made me want a pair - I used to wear them all the time at Uni. That was a good 25 years ago though. I'm a size 12 and 44 - I'm off to find a pair!

Get them!I love them.

I love them, only the weakness of my bladder prevents me. I lived in mine when I was a student.

To be honest, someone posted awhile ago that you only see women in their forties and above wearing them and I think this is predominantly true with a few exceptions. They have become a bit like a uniform for our demographic.

If bladder issues are there, there’s always pinafores. I know it’s not quite the same but it’s an alternative!

I saw a colleague in her 40s wearing some denim ones recently. I’d guess she was a 12 and 5’7 tall. She looked great.

They're trendy at the moment but I still think they look like maternity wear or something for gardening in. The ones with a fitted waist look a bit better.

I love them. Bought some when pregnant with DD2 seemed more acceptable with a bump. Husband took the puss out of me every time I wore them & put me off.

But I think they look great. A school run Mum wears a black pair with a black & white striped top and she looks amazing in them.

Try Lucy and Yak! I love their dungarees!

piss NOT puss! There was no puss.

🙄

I bought these at the weekend, a cross between a jumpsuit and dungarees, so soft and comfortable, they look much better in person too.slthough Emma Willis obviously wears them much better than me!

I had dungarees as a teenager and I wore them all the time. They started to disintegrate at the end as they had been worn so much.

I still like the idea of them but I carry my extra weight around my tummy now so I fear I would just look pregnant if I tried to wear some now.

I say if you like them and are the right shape to pull them off then go for it.

I keep dithering over whether to buy dungarees. I’m held back by the fear that I’ve turned into Adrian Mole’s mum in her radfem years.
