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?!

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).

@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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

Dungarees obviously make some people very angry

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

They look ridiculous

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.

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 😍

@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.

@TranquilityofSolitude aren’t they lovely?

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

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

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.

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!

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
