Lucy & Yak dungarees

[Jozen]

I've just purchased a pair of gorgeous Lucy & Yak dungarees.
For those that wear them (and other dungarees), how do you style yours?
I'm a short, slim 46 year old and while I love the styling on the Lucy & Yak website, it's a bit too out there for me.
My style is Dr Martens, Birkenstocks, one piece of statement jewellery rather than lots, muted colours with something bright and above all, comfortable.
Give me your ideas please!

I don’t really like the dungarees but I do like the Mini pinis and wear them with DMs (the zip wedges) or Fly London boots. Would wear with Birks in the summer too.

I'm short & slim but a bit older (50). I've got the blue corduroy Easton dungarees. I've added buttons as the knots on the straps annoy me,
& wear them with either a stretchy fitted t-shirt or a close fitting light lambswool sweater under them (or alternatively with a stripey Monki long sleeve tee for what my partner describes as my childrens TV presenter look if I want to annoy amuse him ).

I've mostly worn with trainers rather than boots so far, but as winter comes in that'll change!

I wear them over a fitted scoop neck half/long sleeved top as it offsets the "kid's TV presenter effect".

I fold the cuffs up a little and tie the straps either in a simple knot or the "slipknot" tie - there's tutorials on the unofficial Facebook group.

Watching for inspiration. I don't like Converse.

I will be wearing my denim Lucy and yaks tomorrow with a high neck long sleeve black ribbed top and black chunky boots. Simple silver necklace and bracelet.
I’ll have an orange and grey blanket scarf and khaki parka on as well for standing around in the playground freezing while the kids tire themselves out.

Thanks ladies! I wore mine with a stripy navy and white long sleeve t shirt and Dr Marten slouchy ankle boots.
DS thought I looked like a painter and decorator, DD thought I looked like a French onion seller but redeemed herself with "cool French onion seller". At least children's TV presenter wasn't mentioned!

I have a Red Herring navy corduroy pinafore which I've worn to death so may invest in a minipini too.

@sewbuttons I need to see this orange and grey blanket scarf. It sounds lovely.

I wear mine with a t shirt under and a cardi over. with dm or converse. I don't like a jumper under. I'm in my 50s.

Long sleeve tee under, chunky cardi over. Trainers.

Or cashmere jumper under, short ugg boots.

They have the last chance to buy things at the moment, and i think there's a discount on the 15th, if you fancy a bargain.

@Jozen it’s this one from Oliver Bonas but they don’t seem to have the orange colour this year. It’s so soft and warm though that I am considering buying it in a second colour.

Thanks @sewbuttons.
I've been looking on eBay and found a similar one in orange, mustard and grey!

I’m 60, I wear my black cord ones with a long sleeved t shirt, sometimes stripes or a thin sweatshirt. Purple or black DMs.

Long sleeved t shirt (the modal t shirts from Sainsbury’s), a chunky cardigan and doc Martin shoes or gazelles.

God you're all very stylish. I'm currently wearing my Eastons with a long sleeved M+S Heat tech top and some trainers.

I feel very basic! But I love those M+S tops cos they are quite thin looking whilst still being v v warm.

Have a look at @msjenallison on Instagram for inspiration - I think she styles them really well.

Watching with interest!

I have two pairs. I will freely admit that the light grey ones look like painter decorator overalls, but they were on sale possibly because they look like painter decorator overalls .

I wear mine with long sleeved t-shirts and brogues or sometimes with a collarless shirt and chunky necklace. I don't suit mine unless they're rolled up a bit though.

I am 36 and a size 16ish.

Sorry, the last picture is the shirt and chunky necklace. Obviously not dungarees!

I have cappuccino and blue Umis. They arem't winter wear for me, being so lightweight, but in summer I was wearing 3/4 sleeve stripe tops and trainers with a cardi if needed.

True hammering. My teal ones are cord and are better for winter than the umis, which I don't think I could've worn out today as they are very light.

I don't know how to wear the cord ones though in winter, as I can't imagine them with boots. Maybe hiking boots with a bit of a heel..?

Thanks for all your suggestions ladies.
I've had a look at @msjenallison on Instagram. Her style is right up my street. She looks much taller than me though , I always think taller people can carry off a certain style better but then I look at Lady Gaga and she's short and cool.

Agree the cotton ones would be too light at the moment.

The Eastons are the super heavy cord and are v warm. I won't be wearing them past Spring I don't think.

I wear them with Chelsea boots quite a lot.

Rolled up obvs, cos the leg lengths are nuts - I went for a 30 leg (I'm a 32) and still have to roll them up. You also have to size down in the Eastons, a word to the wise. They are MASSIVE. I am quite narrow on my bottom half and feel they are a bit.... billowed. I don't really have the arse for them!
