What do you think? (jumpsuits/overalls)...

[ Edited ]

What are your thoughts about jumpsuits and/or overalls?

 

Most of us have heard the valid complaints about the whole bathroom predicament with jumpsuits, but I like them anyway.  I don't own one, but I'm always on the lookout. 

 

The two things I need in a jumpsuit are (1) a loose or stretchy waistband that falls slightly below my waist, and (2) a zipper in the front. I can work around the bathroom issues with a front zipper hahaha!

 

This one would probably be too short-waisted on me, but I love everything about it. 

 

Oddly enough, I don't like those boots with it 'cuz I think they're too tall...just give me a short bootie in that color, and I'll be happy.  They're gorgeous boots, tho!

I actually prefer overalls, a more casual look and less bathroom issues hahaha.  I've owned many throughout the years (but don't currently have).  I prefer denim, but like Psyche's the best of these pics.

On models, the very young and thin: super cool.

 

On the rest of us, meh.

When I was younger I was interested in them however I grew like a weed and we didn't have lots of tall shops around when I was a tender aged teenager (not that I had tall girl shop money). I didn't want to walk around in something where I was cutting butter Woman Embarassed

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

I love all of them - and back when I could wear them I would have.  Now at 75 all I can think of is "fast potty breaks" and these would not work!  (Sorry don't mean to offend anyone - it's just a "me" issue!)

Very cute, until you have to use the bathroom! You almost have to get totally undressed, and hope the bathroom floor is clean because these might drag on the floor! Been there, done that!

As some posters have stated, on the models the jumpsuit and overalls look good.  But for me they wouldn't flatter or have appeal.  Also mentioned, too much to do to go to the bathroom!!!!!  Yes, I'm at that time in life.
