Can I wear a pinafore? I'm 36.

[leccybill]

Will I look like my 6 year old?
I'm 5'6 and size 10 if it helps. Got my eye on an embroidered black cord one in Dorothy Perkins.

Do you have to be young and fashion forward? I love the look of them but not sure if they're for me.

I hope so! I'm 36 and just bought one this week from oasis!

I'm soon to be 35 and do. All the teenagers around here are wearing crop tops, it's the 30 somethings wearing pinafores (and dungarees).

I my thirties and wearing one today!!!!

I think they look fine, though personally I can't wear pinafores as I still haven't got over my mother making me wear them when I was 9 in the late 1980s and they were terminally uncool

I've not actually seen anyone under 30 wearing them this time round. So go for it.

Bought a navy cord one yesterday. Im going to wear it with a buttoned up blouse.

Yes! Love them.

I keep trying them on but have come to the conclusion that I am too fat for a pinafore.

I'm 38 and wear them.

Not too old. Im quite tempted at 40.

I think it is fair to say they work for all ages. My 2 year old looks cute in one. Last time we went out, we heard a voice behind us say "aw look at that cute little girl. She's wearing the same dress as you". I turned round expecting to see another little girl but found an older teenage/early 20s woman with her mum looking slightly mortified. She was though - a denim pinafore.

I have a black cord one (which I'm yet to wear) I'm 31. I'm yet to see anyone wearing one where I live (tiny town in Pembrokeshire where the fashion seems to be leggings as trousers).

I'm early thirties and have 3. They are so easy and comfy but look great. Go for it.

I'm 41 and I wear pinafores wear what you feel good in, not what society dictates you should wear .

I'm 30 and also a size 10 and I have one to wear for work.

I bought one from DP's last week. Was a bit worried i'd look like a kids tv presenter but looked great with thick tights and biker boots. I'm 38.

Hourglass shaped with boobs, can I wear one?

Well I'm under 30 and love them.. If it's the one with the embroidered rose I'm tempted too!

I love pinafores and I'm in my mid-forties so would definitely get one regardless of age…however, they don't suit me as I have boobs bulging out of the sides

sorry PP I don't think they suit if boobs are large ish and protude from sides. Do love them though and really wish I could wear one.

Ooh can you link to the embroidered one?

I'm 45 and I just bought a plain black cord one from new look- it doesn't have the traditional dungaree fasteners at the shoulder though so am telling myself it is quite grown up!

There's a link to all the ones dp have. Rose embroidered one has 25% off...

I'm 36 and I've got one. Black denim from Next. Not too short.

You see - this is the thing - it's the dungaree fasteners that put me in mind of dressing like my young DD.
Have seen a burgundy one in Matalan herewith proper press stud buttons as opposed to dungaree fasteners but I do like the black embroidered one in DPs.

Thanks for the reassurance that I'm not too old to wear one though. Think I'm going to go for it.

I like this one from Tesco too.

My mum is 74 and wears ( carefully selected) pinafores and dungarees,. She is a size 8 though.

Just updating to say I bought the DP one. Quite pleased with how it looks.
