playsuit for grown up?!

I quite fancy a playsuit for holiday wear but I'm 38 and wondered where to look for one? Not too worried about going short as legs are my best bit, but just don't want to look mutton! Any thoughts?

I can see a few here that I think are lovely and very suitable for your age...I'm 41 and my legs aren't great but at 38 with great legs? Get in there!

That link is to Oasis by the way. I always find nice things in there.

I don't think at 38 you could look like mutton but you have to feel comfortable in yourself.

Quiz have some lovely floral ones. I'm nearly 34 and have one of theirs.

Is it for day or evening wear? I got one for my hols from next which wasn't too skimpy in the legs, as a lot of them are. I'm not one for flashing a lot of leg. It would be more of a day outfit though.

Henry Holland in Debenhams. I would have loved one but I have nowhere suitable to wear it this year Sad

Oasis have some gorgeous ones! Tempted for Friday night...

Ok a question - tights or not tights? Sorry for hijack OP! For bars then possibly club. Am 34, size 10.

I got a great one in warehouse. Grey with abstract neon yellow and black pattern. So flattering. I wear with no tights on hols and warm nights, not sure I'd like it as much with tights. Need heels though.

Topshop have some lovely ones too. I just bought a maroon one with Peter Pan collar thats looks lovely with or without tights. If you go oasis try them on if you can as I always find the bottoms fit great but the tops are way to baggy. I wear tights with mine unless I'm on holiday as my legs arent the best.

Without tights. I really don't get why people wear tights when they are showing abit of leg. Especially in summer, just get them out!

Love a playsuit. Bought a skater style one in New Look recently.

I think they are like skirts or shorts: tights when it is cool, bare legs when hot.
