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!

Looking for more found

But the price on some is eyewatering. Bloody lovely though.

This was me when I bought a pair 😄. So annoying.

https://jambats.co.uk/collections/dungarees have some different dungarees. Well made and the sizing is good.

I love dungarees but I can’t wear them. I’m not usually bothered about flattering clothes, I don’t wear anything fitted and I want comfortable fabric.
But I have a large bust and am generally big and I look like I am in maternity wear. Actually now I think about it, maybe I’m old enough now that I can get away with it!

Thanks for all the replies. They're obviously a bit marmite. I think I look good in them but it's the comfort that I really love.

Will have a look at all your recommendations.

They're so comfortable, so practical.

I had some dungarees I loved in my 20s, but now I'm not going to wear anything that makes if difficult to go to the toilet. Comfortable they may be, practical they aint.

it’s my way of thinking too 🙂

I love dungarees and always get lots of compliments when wearing them,

Eek, the model in that Jambats image! She looks like one of those apparitions that scuttle towards you in a horror movie, head all at the wrong angle and crawling up the wall.

I love them because they're so comfortable (and I'm 60 so am happy with the Grandpa Walton vibe).

I don't really understand the practical thing. Comfort, sure, no waistband is always a bonus! But what are they practical for? As PPs have said, they're tricky when you want a wee.

It’s a shame they did you no favours.

a few of the 20 somethings behind the bars I visited at the weekend were wearing them.

Some lovely dungarees there..esp some of the dress ones.
My my god £548...who would spend that?!

The Budgie Snugglers pair! Very clever. 😂

I find them easier than jumpsuits as they just slip off my shoulders.

If anyone has found any reasonably flattering styles for an overall slimmish/tall build but fat tummy so let me know :)

@mynameiscalypso I find them practical because they don't ride down at the back when I'm gardening. In jeans this happens and I get a 'gardener's tan' i.e. a sunburnt strip across my back between jeans and tshirt. Also, they're very comfortable, like you say, no waistband.

I’m 50, I have three or four pairs (and also a load of junpsuits), I get compliments everytime I wear them. Obviously they’re not for everyone but I love them.

@Churchview Ah, I can see that! Plus pockets to put things in I suppose!

Loads of extra pockets, comfy, stay up, easy to get on and off as no waist band and just a couple of clips.

Adjustable straps, have at any length you feel like. Pockets, to be fair I should have started with pockets, two side pockets, one large front pocket and two back pockets. As no one cares if your hips look bigger in these, the side pockets are generally larger.

I only wear short dungarees so turn up on the legs, or turn down, take your pick. And if you have a plainish pair, wear literally any top you own. It'll suit just fine.

Monki do some nice ones

I'm about to turn 60 and I just couldn't bring myself to wear dungarees. I last wore them as a tall, skinny teen when they did, actually, look fabulous on me, but have zero urge to try that look again. I want to look fashionable but channelling 'cute' isn't my thing.

They’re just an excuse for someone who can’t control their weight

@mynameiscalypso Oh yes the pockets! I've given up wearing anything without pockets - even my PJs have pockets.

The dungaree bib pocket is fantastic for shopping lists and a pencil.
