Am I too old for this jumpsuit?

Be honest, I won't be offended!

I'm looking at this for my holidays, thought it would be nice for the evenings etc. and don't want to spend a lot. Already have a couple of nice dresses but fancied a change. I'm quite small, size 12, was going to wear it with khaki wedges. Will I look like a twat in it?

Oh and I'm 51.

So.... How old are you? First thought is no though.

Xpost. No way!

You will look fabulous! Go for it, OP!

I like it, it's fun without being too girly. Can be dressed up or down. Give it a go 👍

Not too old at all!

Of course you can wear it - looks lovely.

Where are you going? It's polyester, so if somewhere warm, it'll likely be too hot. It does look cute though, and you're definitely not 'too old' for it.

I’m 50 and I would wear it on holiday. Pair with a denim jacket in the evening.

No - always check your mirror, and never the number of candles on the cake.

So if you feel terrific in it, go for ut.

I love it !

You would need to be pretty bump free though....it looks like it would cling in all the wrong places

Gosh no, you’re not too old (whatever that is). I think I saw it in the New Look window today. Not quite as vibrant IRL but still caught my eye. Worth a go.

Wilbur I was in New Look today and I was looking at something v. similar in the sale. They seem to have lots of stripes atm. However I really didn't like the fabrics, it kind of reminded me of crimplene. At 53 that just makes me shudder. The one you are looking at is 97% polyester, but no you are not too old.

It's really nice.. anything apart from leopard print is not off limits

Oooo, I like that. Will be getting my 52 year old arse to new look to try it on first thing tomorrow.

@confusedandemployed - no way as in you think I'm too old? Or no way not too old?

The fabric did put me off a bit, but I'm looking for cheap and cheerful so I know I won't get anything in a lovely fabric for the price I want to pay. I don't think this style of jumpsuit will be a fashion staple if you know what I mean so I don't want to spend a lot.

Sorry - no way are you too old, go for it!

Just think you'll potentially swelter in it though.

No - always check your mirror, and never the number of candles on the cake.

Oh I like this @AuntieStella!

I'm not going to a 'hot' place on holiday, kind of similar climate to here. Which is a million degrees at the moment, so I could potentially sweat off a stone in weight whilst wearing it. Every cloud and all that ...

My mum in her 70s has a jumpsuit similar to this, she looks amazing in it. go for it.

It's lovely but I think perhaps you might be better off buying some nice polyester slacks. Your ankles might get chilly in the evening. You could team those with a lovely twinset so you cover your arms.

Buy the jumpsuit. You're 51, not dead. I'd say buy it if you were 101 and wanted to wear it.

I would wear that jumpsuit, at nearly 62, as long as it fitted and flattered. It's not too young, and you won't be showing unappealing acres of skin at a size 12. Agree totally that your yardstick should be the mirror not the candles. I might take a critical friend for a second opinion.

Oh I like that Wilbur! In fact.... might also have to make a little detour on the way to do the food shop tomorrow! I'd say go for it and enjoy your hol!

@Mokepon. Was getting all outraged on behalf of the OP there until I got to your second paragraph.
