I'm about 5 ft 2 and I very between a 12/14. Would really love some denim light blue and dark blue dungarees with nice pockets for pottering in the garden. Else a jump suit but I really want dunagrees. I love sea salt and joules-help!! TiA

Lucy and yak. Best dungarees ever!

Evvyjb · 27/06/2021 18:13

Lucy and yak, OR turtledove - not denim, but SO comfy

FastFood · 27/06/2021 18:21

My dungarees are from Monki, they're super comfy (but to be honest I don't know how dungarees could be uncomfortable)

ILoveShula · 27/06/2021 18:42

The Lucy & Yak ones are great. I also have Gap ones in needlecord and in denim but they are the more traditional type, they're comfortable but not as relaxed as the L&Y ones.

The boohoo ones are great and excellent value for money. They have a slightly slimmer fit so they look less grumpy. Not a popular view but the Lucy and Yak ones are truly hideous unless you’re a children’s party entertainer

Lucy and Yak dungarees are lovely and have many different styles. They’re not all “children’s party entertainer”. Some of the designs are a bit full on but there are plenty of plain ones in neutral colours and different colour cords, denim and cotton.

I'm 5'1 and bought cropped dungarees from Ollie and Nic. They fit me perfectly as full length ones Blush

Mine are from passenger.

Travielkapelka · 27/06/2021 21:48

@Bipbopbee we will have to agree to disagree. I think that the cut of them is universally unflattering and they’re really scruffy and unstylish. I hate the fact that they’re so loose around the waist and have no silhouette and also the knotted ties. I imagine they’re very comfortable but I’m afraid I can’t see any redeeming features to them

Bipbopbee · 27/06/2021 22:04

@Travielkapelka
That’s fine if that’s your opinion. I for one don’t want to have to wear clothes that give me a silhouette and a tight waist 24/7, I want to wear clothes that are comfortable and look good.
There are about six different dungaree styles varying from oversized fit to high waisted so plenty of different shapes to suit everyone.

I'm 5'3" and have tried Lucy & Yak, they were way too baggy and I looked a midget in them. Not flattering in anyway shape or form. I tried the denim, cotton and cord ones and they all looked frumpy.

ILoveShula · 28/06/2021 08:52

@bigbaggyeyes, they do different styles.

I ordered three styles and kept the ones that looked best. I have reordered that style a couple of times as they're great.
The other ones swamped me a bit as I am quite thin.

I'm about your height and got the size S.

Since your 5’2’ have you checked out Petite sections on websites like Asos?
I’ve heard Lucy & Yak are very popular. They have a big following.

Proustianmoments · 28/06/2021 09:06

Depending on your budget Toast dungarees are some of the best I've tried and not too long - I roll the legs up anyway

(I've also got some great ones from Primark at a tenth of the price :))

Personally I don't find Lucy and Yak flattering but many people love them

GrapefruitTsunami · 28/06/2021 11:12

Seconding a PP re Monki. I have these: www.monki.com/en_gbp/clothing/jumpsuits/jumpsuits/product.cotton-smock-dungarees-blue.0990489003.html

They're super simple and comfortable, and have pockets!

othgraph · 28/06/2021 12:41

These are cropped so would be full length on you and are on sale. I'm guessing a 12-14 would be a 31?

Lucy & yak weren’t great on me, the bib bit sat way too low.

I love my Passenger ones, incredibly comfortable and well cut and I like the companies eco friendly ethos.

Other ones that I have and love are Pull & bear and H&M - both via ebay.

I also have the Fatface Lewes ones that are super popular, I like them, but I don’t love them and don’t really think they were worth the money.
