LockedOutOfMN · 23/07/2017 16:11

DavetheCat2001 · 23/07/2017 17:16

I'm 44 btw Grin

I'm 60 and have some black ones from Top Shop. I wear them with a ditsy print top shop blouse or a black and white striped Breton top, with platform Supergra. DH says they suit my personality. I would love a pair of the red ones with a zip up the front and little silver stars on the pockets that Alexa Chung is wearing on the front of the Sunday Times style section today, but the are over £300.

Thank you for telling me your ages

ExConstance - you have crossed the rubicon and are stilling clearly rocking it. I may well go for it...

neveradullmoment99 · 23/07/2017 18:09

I have the Hush ones. I really love them. I am going to treat myself to another pair for winter when i have money. I am 49. I remember picking up my dd from nursery and there was a lady there [ she must have been knocking 60 or older] and she had a pair on. Wear what you want. I think they look good on all ages and it largely depends upon how you style them and what type you get. There is a style to suit most people.

MumBod · 23/07/2017 18:11

I love mine. They're Tall ones from Boden - I have a long back so wanted to avoid camel toe.

I'm 43.

needsomesunshineandwine · 23/07/2017 18:16

Yes they are.

NC4now · 23/07/2017 18:23

I adore the ones Herald posted. I'm very tempted....

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 23/07/2017 18:30

I'm 51 and no I don't want to wear them purely because I'd struggle to get them undone enough to have a pee and knowing my luck, I'd drop the strap down the loo while I was at it.

I do however like the dungarees skirt/pinafore that was around last year/earlier .
They'd be easier to wear but might look a bit pre-school done wrong.

mewkins · 23/07/2017 18:55

I have culotte ones. That sounds awful but they are fab! 38 and a sz8/10
Many people start singing 'come on Eileen' when they see me though. I don't care, I love Dexys!

IHaveBrilloHair · 23/07/2017 18:57

I wear dungaree dresses/pinafores too 70isalimit
I've got a few and love them.

Mothervulva · 23/07/2017 18:59

I've jut bought some from new chic (took a while to arrive). I do like them but as I'm 5ft 2 they do make me look a bit dumpy I also did drop the strap in the toilet...

Deathraystare · 23/07/2017 19:33

Not for a potato shape like me (well an apple shape) but I saw a young girl at the bus stop wearing black cord dungies. They fitted her well but then she had a nice shape to her.Grrr! I always like them on other people!

CremeDeSudo · 23/07/2017 20:48

@Dave I love those! Thumbs up from me Grin

AddToBasket · 23/07/2017 21:08

I have the Toast ones and I love them. In fact, I don't wear them as much as I would like because I have a mental block about 'wearing them out' - I love them so much I am already worried about not having them!

OneOfTheGrundys · 23/07/2017 21:18

And not slim either.

lolalotta · 23/07/2017 21:23

Fat Face ones are soooooooooooo comfy!

mowglik · 23/07/2017 21:33

Seconded lola I have fat face ones and they look the right combination of relaxed and worn in - going to dig them out for tomorrow!

DavetheCat2001 · 23/07/2017 21:34

Thanks creme!

Will report back when I get them! Smile

Flushot · 23/07/2017 21:43

I got these from boohoo.com worn exactly how the model is. They are very comfy and quite stretchy. Though a massive pain in the arse when you're out drinking!

They're 3/4 culottes style - love 'em

SenecaFalls · 23/07/2017 22:13

In the US, we call these overalls, and I would not. It might be fine for some, but at my age, something like this would likely be the result.
