Dungarees on adults

[Runningforfood]

How do people feel about adults wearing dungarees?!

I’ve fancied some for ages and just ordered these: lucyandyak.com/collections/corduroy-dungarees

But now wondering what on earth I put with them top/shoes wise...and if I’ll just look silly 😂.

Any mumsnetters have dungaree success?!

Since you are asking for honest opinions - I’m not a fan at all and they are completely not to my taste. I had a couple of pairs as a teenager, however, my style has massively evolved in the last 20 years.
I also think that people should wear whatever they feel like

[HotCrossBungle]

Why not just wear jeans or trousers though? All that faffing with buckles when you want to go to the loo just for the sake of what is essentially a bib on top of jeans. I don't get it!

[Tableclothing]

I'm not in the fan club. Minions, toddlers, etc. etc.
Even when people post pictures of someone "looking amazing" in them, all I can ever see is a fundamentally gorgeous woman who would look much more stylish in pretty much anything else.

Before I get flamed, this is the Style & Beauty section and OP was canvassing for opinions; I've given mine.

I wear mine with t shirts and converse, I love them!

[WingBingo]

@TranquilityofSolitude aren’t they lovely?

So comfy and easy to wear. I have been wearing them with a white tee underneath.

[TranquilityofSolitude]

@wingbingo. Just wanted to say thank you for the pictures and recommendation. I went to Tesco and bought the khaki pair this afternoon. I'm really pleased with them.

[QueenOfToast]

I bought some dungarees recently. They look nice with a tight t-shirt underneath. Add a fluffy cardigan on top if it's chilly.

I love mine; big pockets and no waistband - perfect 😍

[Whybirdwhy]

I love the look of dungarees and i wish I could pull them off. I once tried on a pair and they look ridiculous on my body shape! If you want to wear them go for it with a blouse or T-shirt or vest top underneath.

[CaptainPovey]

They look ridiculous

[princesshollysmagicalwand]

Well Maddie Moate always looks lovely in them. But she's a CBeebies presenter, so.....

[HepzibahGreen]

Dungarees obviously make some people very angry

[borntobequiet]

I wore mine practically all the way through one pregnancy in 1980. In the last month I adapted the side fastenings to fit with rubber bands.
So now when I see someone wearing them I wonder if they’re pregnant. Amazing that they keep coming back time and time again. They always look pretty much the same - I wish I still had my 1980 ones, but I wore them to rags.

[madcatladyforever]

I have a 60 year old friend who wears them but she has incredible style and flair and always looks fabulous.
She is very slim and always buys ones with a very flattering cut.
I would never ever get away with wearing such a garment.

[MoltoAgitato]

Pics on this thread of people in dungarees look fab, but I suspect that this is one of those things, like leather leggings, that I would look ridiculous in. Am tempted to give it a go...

[hammeringinmyhead]

Oh dear. I didn't realise I was supposed to be sporting heels and a push-up bra while looking after our toddler. Most remiss of DH not to tell me.

I have never seen a man in person in dungarees so not sure how "Women shouldn't wear this item because they look better in it than men do" is relevant.

@EyeDrops I lived in my Lucy and yak dungareestbrkugh winter as a fire mine with a pink teddy coat.

@RedRed9 How tall are you? I’m 6ft with a 36” inside leg and I wear tall originals. They are only 32” inside leg but the bib is 5 inches longer. The style is to roll and wear cuffed anyway so a little shirt doesn’t matter!
The denim ones in a 32 are plenty long enough too.

[Notredamn]

Spot the oddball 😂 (clue: no one cares about any of the weird shit you're spouting. Btw I wouldn't be impressed if DP wore any of my outfits).

[sonjadog]

I can safely say that I do not dress with a thought to whether or not men will find me sexy. Tbh, most of the time I would rather they didn't. "Being sexy" is not one of my main aims as I go through the working day.

[WingBingo]

Wow, I wear certain clothes so men find my sexy?

Nope. Couldn’t give two shits about that.

[Shortfeet]

Dungarees on adults are ok if you are
A)pregnant
B)a plumber

[Judystilldreamsofhorses]

Oh my god, yearcat have you heard yourself? My DP says I look like Oor Wullie in my dungarees. I suspect he’s also not thought me very sexy while I’ve had the flu, and literally been crawling to the bathroom. Or right now while I am wearing joggers and a bobbly jumper. He still wants to have sex with me though. Probably because he’s not an arse.

Here are mine, today. Do I look sexy? No. Do I give a fuck? Also, no. Get over yourself.

[ShadowyFigure]

yearcat women are under no obligation to look sexy. Whether men find women in dungarees hard to take seriously is probably not a factor most of us would be bothered about. How would I feel about a man wearing dungarees on a first date? Umm well it very much depends on the man who is wearing them . Rather a sweet, funny, interesting and honest man in dungarees than a sexist remnant from the 1950s in a shirt and smart trousers .

[Yearcat13]

Good for you. Though men wanting sex with a female is hardly evidence, given how desperate men are. Seriously good for you but I still think adults in dungarees look like toddlers. It's not sexy.

[HepzibahGreen]

Good thing I'm not a man Yearcat.
Incidentally men have always been drawn to me in my dungarees. Maybe it's the challenge of trying to get them off?!

[HepzibahGreen]

I have had loads of pairs for years. Denim ones, slinky ones, all sorts. I'm a slightly overfull hourglass and they kind of accentuate my waist while masking my boobs a bit. If I wear jeans and a fitted top I find it hard to get the jeans waistband in a place where it doesn't cut me and squish my hip fat ( ew I know!) and I'm self conscious in t shirt tops as my boobs are very noticeable. I'm actually wearing dungarees now. I think they were from h and m and are a navy print, with a white vest top underneath and big gold earrings 90s R&B style. So comfy too!
