Would you wear dungarees?

Yep. You will regret not buying them. We are at an age where if you look in a mirror and like what you see and what’s more you feel comfortable - wow go for it!

I wore a pair of brown corduroy ones in the early eighties but now my bladder needs clothing which is easier to remove. " Getting older ain't for cissies " to quote the late, great Bette Davis.

Does anyone get bitten in the summer or when on holiday by mosquitoes?

If so, you need one of these:
Apparently, scientists in Bristol have discovered that flies (and I assume mosquitoes) are confused by zebra stripes:

Getting older ain't for cissies
I did say to DH today that old age doesn't come on its own.

I had some when pregnant, at the time I thought I looked very stylish in them! but I’m not tempted to be wearing them now. This picture says it all!

Anyone can wear anything if you like it and feel good in them. Age does not come into it.

My thoughts are about the complications of taking a pee.
Then if its in a rather grotty public toilet the bits you have to remove will probably dangle on the floor.

I read that if you wore a certain fashion the first time around then you’re too old to rock the look the second time when it’s back in fashion! A pretty good rule of thumb I think. ?
I’d say leave dungarees to the young ‘uns now.

But with your figure you shouldn't have anything to be ashamed of

I am sick and tired of being ashamed of my body.

I'm not ashamed of my body - I'm more or less happy with it, plus Is don't think they'd be any more difficult to get on and off than a pair of jeans - slip the straps off the shoulders and unbutton a couple of buttons at the side - that's about it. Still considering! I could pretend I'm a bohemian artist type - they seem to get away with wearing just about anything!

Depends on one's shape, I wouldn't too large a bust unfortunately. I did wear jumpsuits in my younger days when I was slim. I think the way you describe yourself and for the purpose you want them for OP they sound fine, with messy hair and a bandana appropriately tied could look good............just not on me

suzied, good luck with your dungarees. I'm not saying you are ashamed of your body, why would you be? It sounds desirable by today's standards, tall and slim.

I am not tall or slim. I went to bed one night pre menopause and woke up the next day with a different body ( or so it seemed!)

Ha ha Lily. I went to bed one night around the menopause and woke up with melons on my chest! I have decided that if I wear aforementioned jumpsuit will match it with some stylish inco pants to solve loo problem.

I hope Lazi, you and your pants will be dancing a samba with green feathers stuck to your jumpsuit.

Or possibly going on a cruise with a tanned , grey haired hottie.

There are certain things older folks should not wear IMO but that's only because I feel older flesh needs covering. So short skirts are ok with thicker tights or leggings. Really low necklines are never flattering neither are really strappy tops if you cannot wear decent support.
As for the rest of so called fashion (which thankfully nowadays is so varied) wear what makes you happy and works for your life style. If that means dungarees....then go for it. I find certain jolly footwear makes me feel a lot more bouncy, I have some lace-up casual trainer types in a dull silver....they always make me feel really quite bouncy.

Me too..

If I could find a pair that fits as I would wish it to fit then I'd certainly buy it - never mind what other people say. If you like it, buy it! I've just purchased 2 jumpsuits and love them - though I don't think I'll be walking around town in them as we don't have easily accessible toilets!!!

I had a purple corduroy pair and one winters day decided to ring the changes by wearing my jumper over the top.
I nearly left a puddle on the floor then and I was only 18?

It was the same in the pre-school......some Mums would put their little darlings in dungarees with tights underneath.....in the end we had to mention it in the newsletter!

and I wore purple DMs back then!

Oh Urmstongran if you are right about not wearing fashion that you wore many decades earlier, then I am in trouble.
I have worn Quant, mini, maxi, midi, flower power, big shoulder pads, twee Laura Ashley, milkmaid, jeans....you name it, I wore it.
I suspect there is no hope for me now !

Dungaree wearing totally permitted only if you know all the words to Come on Eileen.

and do they still play it at the end of all discos/dances/weddings etc........not been to one in a while but when it got played we knew it was time to go home!

I have a pair of purple, iridescent docs, but wearing them makes my back ache these days.
I love just have to admire them from afar these days.
