Wear what you want to wear AnnieZee , if it’s comfy then go for it, I don’t wear them myself personally as they would annoy me personally when going to the loo, but I think they look great on other people

I think jumpsuits fall into the category of ‘Lovely, but hard work to wear’ ....frankly at any age....wrestling oneself in and out of it in a public loo cubicle, making sure a sleeve doesn’t dangle in the loo basin or parts of the garment don’t wipe the floor. And where to hang it in the wardrobe would be a problem for me with the so much clutter in the bottom part.

Yes, very useful garments!!

Why not? Do it!

Yes! No different from a top and trousers (apart from the loo problem!). Make sure it has a long ‘puller’ if the zip is at the back!

DH bought me a lovely black one in John Lewis sale last summer, I'm 73, and don't think that I look like mutton!

You can wear any thing you like age has nothing to do with it. If you like it buy it ??

Oops 'it's how quick ....'

Sounds lovely,smile
I had several jumpsuits many moons ago.
But now well....
How it's quick can I get down for loo?
Would I freeze in the mean time?

Can I keep it off the floor ?

All of which never seemed to worry me before,
but now.. ??

Yes, if you want to.

Yes you can Anniezee.
My sister is your age and has one and looks elegant and lovely in it.

Yes of course you can. I wear one often. I think they look really smart. The only downside is going to the loo.

I will reach the age of 70 this year. I think (and am told) that I don't look my age and that I am quite trendy - not ridiculous high fashion though. Can I get away with wearing a jumpsuit? I have seen a Brora one in their sale which is blue linen (looks a bit like denim) with a front zip. Don't want to look like mutton.....
