How old are you and where do you wear them? Tried one on today but didn't buy as can't think where I'd wear it!

I'm 27 and wear casual ones during the day and dressier ones on a night. Love a good playsuit!

Why are there so many threads on S and B asking about age appropriateness at the moment?! If you like them, wear them! Confused

I have a gorgeous playsuit from H and M and I'm 35. I have the legs for it - if I didn't, I wouldn't wear it. Fake tan a must.

Oh and it's sort of nude and brown patterned silky fabric, I wear it with nude heels and a clutch for nights out. Haven't worn in day yet but would do so with flat strappy sandals and a big bag and sunnies.

I'm a sahm so just wear my nice clothes on a daily basis, toddler groups, park, soft play, days out, Tesco - I don't see the point in saving for best as I'd never wear my nice summer clothes if I did that.

I'm 35 and I have two fairly bright floral ones from yours - I'm a size 16-18 and love them, so comfy. I get compliments every time I wear them. They are the long legged style and I wear them with a little black cropped kimono style cardigan in cooler weather.

I don't think age should come into it, or size, just wear what you like! :)

Mid forties - and what everyone else said!

Casual ones in the day, smarter ones for going out. With tights when cold.

Twinklestar2 · 20/06/2015 09:56

I wear them and I'm 36

EdSheeransGString · 20/06/2015 11:19

I really suit them and find them flattering but at a size 20 getting undressed in toilet cubicles to have a pee is very difficult especially when intoxicated so I don't wear them much. I'm 26.

  1. To the park, shops wherever. Only have 1 - strapless and looks like denim so not particularly daring.
EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 20/06/2015 13:08

Can anyone link to any nice ones? Need inspiration!

springbabydays · 20/06/2015 15:15

Thanks all. The ones I like are Henry Holland ones, love the prints there. I'd also like to see links to others please! Good to know they're not just for young uns - I have no idea, not really into fashion.

  1. I wear casual ones in the daytime on holiday and that's it

I'm a size 12 28 year old and have lots. I live in a climate very similar to the UK except for the summers which are reliably very hot so love playsuits as they solve the chub rub problem!

I make sure they are slightly longer in the leg than your topshop offering, but otherwise anything goes.

I have this Jack Wills one which is lovely and lined so I wear it for shopping, meals out etc.

this silk jaeger boutique one which I wear with a sleeveless blazer and heels for evening or gigis and a kimono for day

Older ones from French Connection have been good, topshop (but gone up a size to try and lengthen the leg) and Mango. this on ebay is my favourite one!

bloomingheather · 21/06/2015 09:29

I quite like this Zara one although the first model pic makes it look very unflattering.
Motel also do some nice ones here. I like the Kaleidoscope print one, although some of them look quite low in the cleavage for me (jeez, must be getting old Wink

springbabydays · 21/06/2015 20:17

Ooh like the black one with sleeves actually! Thanks for the links.

I'm 37 and have a few from motel rocks! I'm petite and love a playsuit. In the day I wear them with converse and at night with heels Smile

ImBrian · 22/06/2015 07:08

I'm 35 and wore one to go out in on Friday, It looked nice but going for a wee was a massive pain!

squizita · 22/06/2015 09:18

Mid 30s. Wear mine to bbqs, bands in the park type things, lunch in a naice pub etc.
