Dungaree Appreciation Thread

I own two pairs. They make me look bigger than what I am but they are so bloody comfy!

My husband said he will buy me a pair. Any suggestions?! I always wear with my DMs 😊

I have lots of pairs. Some loose colourful ones and some denim ones, and a needlecord pair. I have about 3 pairs of shorts length ones too.

KirstenBlest · 16/01/2022 12:32

The loose ones are very similar to Lucy & Yak, and the others are mainly from Gap.

I think I have one pair from H&M, one from Next and one of the shorts one is from F&F (Tesco)

I don't have any Run&Fly ones but I have some cords by them

KirstenBlest · 16/01/2022 12:33

I wear the L&Y style ones with converse-style hi-tops, daps or solovair boots.

yorkshireteaspoonie · 16/01/2022 12:53

I have a couple of pairs of Lucy and Yak chord 'originals' eBay's not a bad place to find them as patterns are often limited edition so you can find some more unusual patterns on there - if that takes your fancy

KirstenBlest · 16/01/2022 13:23

The L&Y ones tend to keep their value. Have a look at lucyandyak.com/collections/sale-last-chance-to-buy if you fancy a bargain

My L&Y-style ones are similar to the Luna style. I didn't like the printed fabric. I'm not sure if they still sell Lunas

I have an Easton boiler suit and I love it

RainbowCrayons · 16/01/2022 13:41

I have a pair from free people (the ziggy in indigo). Asos stock them which is great for returns if they don't fit. How tall are you? I'm 173cm so getting them long enough has been an issue and these are.

KirstenBlest · 16/01/2022 13:50

Those are nice Rainbow

Maybe I should ake it clear that I wear underwesr and a t-shirt under mine

Craftycorvid · 16/01/2022 19:08

I’m in! Smile. Have a L&Y pair plus a few vintage-y pairs including a Laura Ashley paisley pattern needlecord pair that doubtless make me resemble a toddler. Also a Toast pair of classic blue denim ones that are my ‘go with everything’ ones.

ShowOfHands · 16/01/2022 19:13

I have lots and lots. Many Lucy and Yak and Run and Fly, as well as Gringo, homemade and some from a local independent shop. I've cord ones, cotton, denim, shorts and pinafores. All sorts of colours and patterns including bees, foxes, dinosaurs, butterflies, ladybirds, rainbows.

I wear mine with DMs or converse. I live in them.

yorkshireteaspoonie · 17/01/2022 10:53

Forgot I also have a pair of these....

I love dungarees! So comfortable. Love the pockets, the smartness of wearing the same thing top and bottom, the fact they bridge the gap in the middle!

My favourites were a pair from FatFace. Not somewhere I'd have considered before but amazing quality and really great cut on the legs and waist. The one issue was the bib wasn't really big enough for my back length and boob size. They "fit" but were making me slouch to minimise my chest so I've stopped wearing them. I wish they would do the same style in tall fit.

Otherwise I've had good quality pairs from Hush and OK quality from Gap. Can't beat Lucy and Yak for comfort and cross season versatility though.

Pasithea · 17/01/2022 11:26

I have 18 pairs of L& Y. I’m in a wheelchair and they are perfect.

KirstenBlest · 17/01/2022 19:34

I've had a rummage and found a pair of short dungarees and a jumpsuit I'd forgotten about.

Bluesheep8 · 17/01/2022 19:46

I've got 2 pairs, one from GAP and one from Sainsbury's, I love them.

tearinghairout · 17/01/2022 19:50

I'm old and I love them! I used to wear them in the 70s and here I am wearing them again! DH bought me the Hayle playsuit from Finisterre. It's linen and in the sale atm. Will be perfect for summer :)

beguilingeyes · 17/01/2022 21:01

Don't you find the having to get partially undressed to go to the loo but a pain, or am I missing something?

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 17/01/2022 21:04

@toastfiend always looks fab in dungarees.

Barrawarra · 17/01/2022 21:04

Don’t you need to get partially undressed to take off any trousers?! I have a black toast dungaree that I love. My friend compared me with my toddler the other day but I care not!

anothersmahedmug · 17/01/2022 21:14

Skirts are harder as it's up with the skirt down with the knickers , complicated

Goldilocks99 · 17/01/2022 22:22

I soo love them.
I have loose jumpsuit style fatface ones.
Denim TU, fatface and JoJo Bebe mama
