They are surprisingly flattering. Mine are size L and I wear them turned up. Well worth a try for shorties I think…. They are no good if you are tall so should be perfect if short!
Can 60 year olds wear dungarees?
I think many women my age would shy away from them, perhaps thinking they wouldn’t be flattering or that they could look foolish. But if you like trouser suits, you can wear dungarees. Just pick the right pair, team them with a nice pair of heels and they won’t look remotely as if you’re a child or a decorator.
Should I size down Lucy and yak?
Our dungarees are designed to be a little oversized so if you’re in between sizes, we’d probably recommend sizing down, unless you’d prefer a super loose fit.
