Would you wear dungarees?

Dungaree wearing only permitted if you have never even heard of ‘Come On Eileen’ ( ie. you are young) ?

Go for it! I saw a photo of Emma Thompson in overalls (we call them that in Canada) and she looked great!
Wear what makes you happy and you will look confident.

I wouldn’t wear them because I’m short , hourglass shaped with a 32G frontage and would look ridiculous .

However , if I was tall and slim I most definitely would wear them .

Suzied please tell us that you have bought them or are going to ...

If I was tall and slim I’d wear them. Unfortunately I’m not!

Yes definitely. X

Certainly buy and wear them if you like them. I wouldn't but then I've never worn jeans either and nor has my husband.

could pretend I'm a bohemian artist type

Absolutely! Go for it!
Wish I was slim enough to wear them!

No, definitely not - when I need to pee, I need to pee RIGHT then!!!

Just googled dungarees and this popped up:

It all depends! The last time I wore dungarees was when I was 6 months+ pregnant - a seersucker pair borrowed from a friend - 34 years ago! I think they're not very flattering except on small children - DGS loves his that Daddy brought back from the US

I could not risk it with my bladder!

Go for it, my friend who is her 60s and very arty(she teaches art privately) wears them and the first time I saw her in them I just thought WOW and told her so, she remarked 'Sainsbury's in the sale' She Inspires me to be a bit more adventurous.

Alina ... I’m with you, too many loo visits ! However a friend aged 67 still wears them and other quirky outfits and looks great in them !

Looking at the Daily Mail article, I'd say a definite & loud 'no', I think the models look really silly!! I confess to having a black & white stripey pair & a beige linen pair in the 70s when of course I looked the bee's knees ! & several cord pairs for my 80s pregnancies when I looked like an elephant. I think they're best worn by the young & fabulous really!

O yes , I bought a pair of black dungarees last week . I love them , there so comfortable . If you like them and you feel comfortable in them , buy them . Go girl .

I have two pairs of heavy cotton dungarees bought online from NewChic I think it was. They are baggy and so roll them up a bit at the ankles. I wear a loose open shirt o we them. I am nearly 68. I say go for it and enjoy the comfort occasionally when doing boat chores.

Not for me, but I'm 5'3 and round in the tummy area. I would look like Charlie Drake.

I wear jumpsuits and have one in khaki and one in navy/white.
I'd wear dungarees if I was messing about on boats or camping but socially?...no.
It would IMO, look hickey. A bit like 'The Waltons'.

No.

The fact they were in the sale shoukd tell you something- even the younger folk don't want them. When it come to clothes always remember my mother's mantra, a sale is all the stuff folk don't want!

Suzied, you sound like a lovely fashionable lady. Wear your dungarees with pride. Some people, at any age, can wear a sack and look elegant. I still like to look fashionable, without looking over the top for my age. Hate to look dowdy.

Go for it. If they fit and look good, age doesn’t matter.

Living in a popular holiday location I see various forms of dress, not what I would wear, but it is their choice. Is it more with what others may think of your choice that put you off as if I liked them I would not give a what others thought.

Toddlers only for me. Although my daughter at 12/13 wanted a pair as it was ‘the fashion’ so I got them for her . Didn’t last long though and they were in charity shop. Dungarees past the age of 4/5 for me a no-no

The only adults who we ‘expect’ to wear dungarees anymore is plumbers isnt it....and why oh why are they always white. Their wives must despair when they go in the washer.For them dungareees make sense.
