Dungarees - do these suit me or do I look like a nob!?

I've toyed with getting some for years, and am trying to have more variety with what I wear

Do these look ridiculous or nice!? Honest opinions welcome!

Thanks

Thank you @Shantotto, I appreciate the recommendation. Will take a look.

They look nice but for me they're too short in the leg. I'd want an extra inch or 2 or turn them up so they are meant to be properly short.
I'd also wear them with trainers.

LadyMuck111 · 11/05/2020 22:32

They look awesome. Wish I could carry that look off!

JustHavinABreak · 11/05/2020 22:34

You look absolutely amazing. Your whole outfit just really works and I love love LOVE your hair

Mnthrowaway20202 · 11/05/2020 22:35

Just going to be honest. I don’t like them because they could be better. I think a slight ankle grazer length and tapered leg would look nicer. And a slightly lighter denim wash.

Would look better with trainers or a plain white t

captainprincess · 11/05/2020 22:37

@Pooshweens they look awesome! As does your hair Smile

Shimy · 11/05/2020 22:47

I like the front but not the back for some reason.

SuzanneSays · 11/05/2020 22:52

You have my hair but ten times better! What do you use/do?! (Dungarees look great on you)

RomaineCalm · 11/05/2020 22:56

I think they really suit you.

I'd love a pair but I'm pretty sure that rather than looking cute and stylish I'd look like I'd just eaten a CBeebies presenter.

Allusernamesalreadyused · 11/05/2020 23:12

Love them. You look great😊

Inspiralcarpetry · 11/05/2020 23:25

I adore them and am a bit jealous! They look completely cool and stylish and the line looks great as you are so slim.

Bouledeneige · 12/05/2020 01:48

Cute

eaglejulesk · 12/05/2020 05:29

I think you look great - wear them and enjoy!

Pooshweens · 12/05/2020 09:09

Thank you so much for all of your comments! So many nice things said, it's lovely to get a confidence boost

Some people have asked how tall I am - 5ft 7

I am wearing them now (with the tags on!) - they feel a bit odd since they sort of hang off your shoulders so I'll have to get used to them

They're cute, but my 11yr old wears them so I just see them as kids clothes

dontgobaconmyheart · 12/05/2020 12:29

They look well on you OP, they leg cut suits your figure but dungarees in general - they look 'cool' in photos if styled well but in in real life walking around out the house I'm not sure the vibe is the same at all. I'm not a fan of them and would rather just get a modern cut of jeans which I'd feel comfortable in and get the wear out of.

Looking good in something doesn't make it necessarily worth keeping. As with anything, if I wasn't sure, felt a tit or won't confidently wear it out- it goes back.

IHaveBrilloHair · 12/05/2020 12:31

I love them, I've got a v similar pair, also short ones and long skinny black ones.
Im a big dungaree fan.

MushroomTree · 12/05/2020 13:16

I like those!

I have a dark blue denim pair which I once accidentally paired with a mustard jumper. A colleague asked me why I'd come to work dressed as a Minion... I thought the look was vaguely familiar somehow Hmm

ShowOfHands · 12/05/2020 14:31

@heartyrebel does your 11yo wear socks too? T-shirts? Jumpers? I get what you mean I suppose but I think dungarees are no longer the preserve of children or workers. They're available in every shop seemingly. My just turned 13yo nicks my dungarees all the time.

OP those dungarees have a very low bib so will keep slipping off your shoulders. I don't buy ones like that on purpose.

ShowOfHands · 12/05/2020 14:33

I wore these yesterday for example (not a picture of me!) and they don't slip off your shoulders as they have a more sensible bib.

bumble bees?

I love those bee ones.
I have a dinosaur pinafore!

Tiramisuiloveyou · 12/05/2020 14:59

OP i think you look brilliant. If I had a figure like yours I would wear these and whatever else i fancied. I ordered a pair from Lucy and Yak last year but I am much too portly round the middle to carry them off and i am mid 50’s but the quality and cut was absolutely fab.
