Are dungarees acceptable

[Kursk]

Just spent the morning wearing DH's. I have been converted! I thaught they looked awful........but they are soo comfortable

I think it depends on cut and style.

Ive been looking at these m.emp.co.uk/art_330205/ and these m.emp.co.uk/art_356665/ for quite a while.

Always hated them but I saw a woman today wearing a plain black t shirt under aluminium fitting 3/4 length dungarees. She had red hair in a simple top knot and bright red lipstick.
God she looked great.

Slim not aluminium fgs!

Love dungarees. I want some boyfriend style ones. Perhaps I should buy mens? Where were your OH's from OP?

Oooh I'd LOVE some dungarees.

But at 5'1 would I look like an overgrown toddler?

Glad you clarified not aluminium, my mind was boggling.

No. And again, NO.

I ordered some from Amazon, they arrived yesterday. I love them

Creme which ones did you get from Amazon? I'm not convinced I could carry them off but am willing to have a look

SS7 Women's Denim Dunngarees Jeans, Size UK 8 - 16 (UK - 8, Mid Wash Denim) www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01B4UAI1K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NfiDzb50KZN6H?tag=mumsnetforum-21

I went up a size

I really like the slim fitting ones, you need to be slim yourself though to pull it off I think.

Thanks Creme I like those!

I love mine - I have fairly slim fitting black ones and tend to wear them with a blouse and brogues, or a stripy top and trainers. This is my third summer from them. I'm 5ft 6 and a size 10, so not particularly tall or thin.

Oh i want aluminium dungarees

Seriously, if you've got longish sliming legs and they're slim fitting they're lovely.
Unfortunately I'm short and stocky so would look like a toddler

OH gets his from Carhartt

I've got fitted ones from whistles that I live in. They flare into wide bottoms and I adore them.

I have some slim fitting black ones from New Look. I love them, so so comfy.

I have shorts ones, currently wearing them with a tshirt and converse.

They look so comfortable in theory.

In practice, I can't imagine not looking like a farmer.

Love them on other people however with my ample bosom and round belly I fear I would look like Humpty Dumpty. If you like them and they look good, why not rocks the 'ree's.

I've been eyeing up different pairs for a couple of years but haven't taken the leap!
I think they work for all sharps and sizes as long as the person is confident in them!

I'm 14 weeks pregnant and am going to get a pair!
Just want to find a pair that I can wear now and will expand loads but are slim through the leg.....

I had a pair as a teenager and adored them!

Yes! I have the shorts ones and wear with a vest top underneath and one shoulder unbuttoned. For like shopping, going to the park / pool, grabbing a coffee, i.e. day to day stuff at the weekends. I live abroad in a hot climate so get plenty of wear out of summery clothes.

How old are you dunga-wearing people?

My figure is fine, but the thing is at my age (late 40s) you don't want people to gasp in surprise when you turn round because the face and body don't match. Not sure I can pull of 'quirky'

Would love some dungarees though

I'm 35. I prefer the boyfriend style ones worn with a tight top underneath, turn ups and cons
