I’m nearly 40, can I wear this?

[Eminybob]

For a night out? Meal and drinks.
I’d wear it with black opaques, black ankle boots and blacker leather biker jacket.
It’s a playsuit in case it isn’t clear.

I like it but don’t want to risk looking like a tit. I don’t get out much.

I am probably going to get lit up for this but personally I don’t think I would. I think it’s more for someone in their 20’s or early 30’s - of course if you like it then wear what you like!

I think it’s the pattern, if it was more plain it would be more sophisticated

Yes you can

I wouldn't but then I I don't have the legs for it.

If you do then why not.

An overweight 20 year old would worse than a slim 40 year old in that

Age isnt the only factor

Im 45. Id wear it, its lovely. If you've got the legs and the confidence go for it! (wear red lipstick too ;) )

100%. Wear what makes you feel good!

Of course you can; you'll look fab How about a bright red lipstick too?

I'm 53, with legs to die for —see username I'll have it when you're done with it.

Have a great evening.

Thanks.
It is the length that makes me doubt myself, I wouldn’t wear a dress that short. But I do wear short shorts and playsuits in the summer, with bare legs so I don’t know what I’m worried about really.
I do have reasonable legs (I think!)

What size are you?

12/14

12 on bottom, 14 on top I should say.

Dark tights are as good as trousers! Definitely wear it, sounds like a lovely outfit.

Go for it ! It looks really nice ! Where is it from ?

That’ll be grand!

I'm your size and a bit older. I'd wear it, and I second the red lippy suggestion. Hope you feel great and have fun!

Yes, styled the way you describe it’ll be great.

I'm about to turn 40 and I would. I wear similar on nights out and i feel smart rather than dressed like a young one!

If you feel confident and comfortable in it then wear it.

I’m over 40 and I would. In fact I’m off to have a look on the H&M website now.

I love it 😍 I'm 41 and would wear it exactly as styled but will very clumpy boots and very thick (thermal) black tights. Would you post a pic, I'm sure it will be fabulous 😁.

I would also add a necklace if you have one to suit. I have a big sparkly heart like titanic necklace, it's black leather and silver and sparkly but I guess it depends what you have

Yes!

I despise whoever it was who first thought 'playsuit' was an appropriate word for a garment worn by a grown woman.

Now I've got that off my chest, I'm a bit uneasy that you've said you wouldn’t wear a dress that short. I know a divided skirt offers more ease of movement but I would say the coverage is about the same. I think the question to ask is whether you'll be tugging at the hemline all evening. If 'no' then go forth and enjoy.

Absolutely do it! Gorgeous xx

Just realised the typo in the op. The jacket is no blacker than the other accessories
