I've just discovered dungarees, I want to buy them ALL

[Thehalls191]

I'm 45, 'too old' for dungarees I expect but I've bought 2 pairs and I love them! They're so comfortable, so practical.

I'm eyeing up summer ones, autumn ones, winter ones. How many pairs is too many? This is all I'd wear now if I could get away with it!

Awful. No

Well, you have two too many pairs already. They're not flattering on anyone over the age of four.

Totally with you at 46!!! Wore them in early 20’s and now cannot understand why I ever stopped!!!! Where are you finding them??

Not everyone cares about flattering.

Thankfully old enough not to care what anyone else thinks!!! Maybe that’s why my 22 year old self ditched them!! If only I’d known them what I know now!! 😉

Popsy clothing

Lucy and Yak!

Tbf they’re what more mature folk think are edgy. And I’m getting on myself. Wore them during lockdown and they did me no favours.

I think they look nice whatever your age, but I wouldn't wear them, simply because it would be too annoying to go for a wee. Same with jumpsuits. But if that doesn't bother you, go for it!

Dungarees are lovely @OP. I'm a great fan of them & older than you and yes they are back in fashion with various fits. You can wear them with a t-shirt or a set or blouse so many options. Never mind all the old foggeys moaning. The point of dungarees is comfort and fit. If you want flattering clothing you buy something else flattering straight/ flared etc trousers a dress or skirt. Its like saying jogging bottoms arent flattering! Of course they're not, that's not the point of them but they're not ugly either.

Omg, discovered dungarees last year and LOVE them. Couldn't give a shit what anyone else thinks - I'm just so HAPPY when I wear them!!

I'm 48 and own and wear dungarees! Love them!

I'm in my 40s and quite like a pair of dungarees but they are not flattering on me at all. They always add at least two dress sizes to how I look.

I've got these.

For summer I'm getting some short dungarees from Lucy and yak. I'm waiting for payday right now. If anyone knows anywhere better, let me know.

Just got a lovely pair from Run and Fly, bit cheaper than Lucy and Yak and just as comfortable. Check them out!

I live in dungarees, I’m 42. I love run & fly and jambats as well as Lucy and yak, I have quite a few pairs. I don’t care if they are flattering or not, I like them and they are comfy.

Definitely try different brands. I look huge in Lucy and Yak as they are big in the wrong place for me (hips/thighs) but I love run and fly!
I wear them 80% of the time and give no shits what anyone thinks (although I do get ransom compliments in the street a fair bit!)

I had a maternity pair years ago which I loved, but at my age now I think I'd feel like one of those puppets on Tots TV.

If you enjoy wearing them and feel great in them then more power to you OP.

Ignore what the naysayers says, I hear that there are plans afoot to bring back Play School, and they will be auditioning for people with dungarees.

I think they look great in just about anyone and everyone..... .

Except.me.

I look like i should be repairing tractors in the top field.

I'm 48 and love mine. They're the wide leg jumpsuit style that o wear a vest under. I was hesitant but they look so good on.
I wouldn't look right in the fitted denim/cord styles like traditional dungarees but the loose ones are lovely.

The word just conjures up the desperate feeling you experience when you hear the strap plopping into the toilet bowl as you try and have a wee.

If you like them wear them, I think they look cute!

I love my black cord dungarees from Hush. I'm wearing them now. I wear them for a huge range of occasions depending on what I put with them: work, out for drink, country walk, just at home. For work I wear them with a jacket. I'm 52 and don't care what anyone else thinks! They are so comfy!
