Dungarees....yay or nay??!

[boredboredboredboredbored]

Soooo I saw a lovely pair of black denim dungarees in Toast over the weekend. I'm tempted but at nearly 42 can I get away with them or is age irrelevant? Can adults really look coolish in dungarees??!

I am 5ft 3 and a size 12. I'm just not sure I can pull off the look!! I'd wear both boots and trainers...here's a couple of pictures I love...please let me know what you think. Tia

@fishonabicycle, I'm 5ft 3 and a size 6 and I got the Lucy&Yak cord dungarees in XS, leg 30". They fit really well, relaxed fitting and just right in the length. So comfortable too.

I love them, size 14, 5ft 6 and I feel cool in them 😂

I had the same debate with myself last week. I bought the Fatface denim dungarees and I love them. Black cord Fatface dungarees are in the sale. I’m 60 in the summer.

I definitely think they can work. I want some but I’m tall and haven’t found a longer length pair.

Most important thing is you like wearing them, who cares what other people think.

Thanks @Pinkrach - have ordered some

Dungarees if you're over two not a good look.

I have the indigo Toast dungarees, and will probably get the black pair soon. The look amazing

@JaneROchester- if they still fit and are in good nick, bing them in the wash with a Dylon machine dye. It’ll bring back the black and save you buying a new pair!

I am a 38 year old, size 12, 5ft 7ish and live in mine. I have a few different pairs. I love them and always get complimented when wearing them .

Bold fail there!
JaneROchester machine dye them!

The @ sign bolds automatically @captainflash

I have several pairs. .I'm wearing some now! Men seem to love them, weirdly. (Although I wear them because I find jeans dig in). I'm fleshy, not skinny.

I even have "dressy" dungarees

I’m not at all keen on dungarees on me (I look like a tank!), but love knee-length dungaree/pinafore dresses!

I like the ones that look like Japanese shop worker ones - so straight legged and 3/4 length. Very cute. I also like the dresses with the dungaree top - until I realised they were the women’s clothes of preference for certain labour luvvie (and that not really the look I’m going for).

I'm 45 and love mine. I get compliments on them when I'm out. I like to wear black slim fit style, rolled up at the angle, and with leopard trainers.

Will give that a try, thanks captainflash

£150 for the Toast dungarees?

I live in my maroon cord Lucy and Yak ones!

Thanks unbelievable! Will have a look.

I only seem to see them on trendy pregnant people lately. But then I live in a bit of a nappy valley

I want some put am 5ft nothing and dumpy so I think I'd look ridiculous and I'm.not normally one who gives a fuck about what other people think. I am also not cool enough to pull off the style I would like to

Matalan has a really nice black denim one, i live in mine

I tried some but I have big boobs and they frankly looked ridiculous as the top bit wasn't big enough to cover me properly.

If I could find some that fit I'd buy a pair and in 40.

I'm 57, size 16, and have just bought the ones from Sainsburys, on the grounds that if they don't work out for me I've only spent £25! Or I can divert them into decorating wear... I do look slightly like a decorator/car mechanic, but they felt so comfortable when I tried them on.

Do it!!! I have denim Hollister ones (skinny) and Lucy and Yak black cord ones. The latter are my favourite - really soft and comfy. Only £30 in the sale. I'm after some raspberry pink cotton ones next. I'm 5 ft 1 in and size 8-10 so possibly look like a toddler but give zero fucks.
