I’m nearly 40, can I wear this?

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 got the 14.
It has a little popper to stop the wrap neckline gaping (which is usually a problem for me due to boobs)

Can I have a link, fancy it for myself!

I'm the same age as you and I'd wear that.

Starlight39 · 20/02/2020 12:37

I'm 40 and think it's lovely. I'd definitely wear it in the winter with tights and summer without.

Purplecatshopaholic · 20/02/2020 12:38

Totally go for it - it’s great!

Mummiepig · 20/02/2020 12:55

I’m 42 I would wear it yes

Sagradafamiliar · 20/02/2020 13:24

Ooh I love it. It's aimed at teens (Divided) but that wouldn't stop me.

MrsGrindah · 20/02/2020 13:29

Yes if you like it, but I don’t like the opaque tights/ shorts combo personally...always makes me thinks it’s a bit of a contradiction . Plus I think ones bits might suffocate!

Thanks OP just ordered it!

EnidButton · 20/02/2020 16:13

Absolutely.

A tiny bit of me is concerned that anyone is questioning it as I wouldn't think I was 'too old' at 39.

emsyj37 · 20/02/2020 16:18

I'm 40 and about to hit the link to buy it now!!

The4ks · 20/02/2020 16:19

Lovely and you're not too old.
I'm nearly 40 but have too big a tummy for playsuits😥
And a bargain as well!!

LooseGoose29 · 20/02/2020 16:20

I'm 37, I would wear it but with nude tights and strappy flats or matching boots and contrasting tights if it was too cold.
I don't think bright colours and black tights look good on anybody regardless of age.

LooseGoose29 · 20/02/2020 16:22

Actually I have to change my reply slightly as having looked at the link I do in fact own the floral version and have worn it with no tights and strappy flats.

FABULOUS

Tablefor4 · 22/02/2020 18:38

Love it - have a good night!

Haggisfish · 22/02/2020 18:55

You look fab!

FartnissEverbeans · 22/02/2020 19:04

I can’t believe some people on this thread wouldn’t wear it?!

You look great OP and I’d definitely wear something like that.

AnnDaloozier · 22/02/2020 19:05

Yes. But it’s a bit summery

Quick question. How the do you go to the toilet in a tights/playsuit combo?
Really unnecessary faff.

wasgoingmadinthecountry · 22/02/2020 23:19

You look great. I'd definitely wear that if I was thinner and am way older than you. Currently no carbing so I can be as cool as you!
