TigerTy Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Ok DD Family, I need an opinion. Can a guy wear the tykables shortalls in public without drawing too much attention. I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside when I think about doing it, but I think I might get embarrassed by drawing too much attention from others. Also, blue or black? But it still sparks my curiosity. Any advice for the aspiring little? Link below to tykables shortall page. site. https://tykables.com/collections/shortalls/products/shortalls 2 Link to comment
Dubious Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 You most likely wont get much attention as long as the sun is out, and its warm. 1 Link to comment
ValentinesStuff Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I have. I would say depending upon where you are is how much attention you get. I live in a rural area, so regular overalls aren't uncommon. 2 Link to comment
Stroller Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I wish I could, but it'd be going a bit too far round here for it not to cause comment. And this is a small community. I've worn one to the shops with a smock top over it, so you can't see it's not just a pair of shorts, but I haven't worn mine openly. I wouldn't wear my Tykables in public though - the stretchy material is a bit thin and tends to show the outline of what's underneath. Mummy and I made some shortalls from 2 pairs of cargo shorts, and they look a bit more vanilla. And they have buttons in the crotch for a quick change. As for full-length dungarees, that's all I've been wearing all winter. Just trying to lose a bit of weight now so I can get back into shorts for the summer. 1 Link to comment

froggy Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I have worn them in public for over 20 years. Some are plain solid color, some are decorated with cartoon characters. I have one babypants shortall with snappy legs. On that one i did cover over the crawling baby logo to wear them in public. Never got a comment on the snaps. They are just shorts, unless they are too "flashy" as in decorated in dolls and lace, or perhaps flowers and you are a boy. 3 Link to comment
froggy Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I do get interesting comments when out in shortalls. The most extreme are "I would not be caught dead wearing those" and from a kid "look mommy, he is wearing girls clothes". Many are curious where i got them and where they might find them now. I have not seen them common in stores since around 2003. The exception are all too small, kids and juniors sizes. Rarely do I see another adult male wearing them. 1 Link to comment

I think the last time I saw them in a retail store in adult (men's) sizes was in an O'sh Gosh store several years ago. And in warm weather on vacation, you can get away with wearing the Tykables blue jean set without too much attention. Ok, maybe throw on a sun (screen) shirt on top, and it will look more like shorts. 1 Link to comment
Kawaharu Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 It depends on the situation and where you are at. Back in the 1980's, they were common for guys but now it's flipped that it's common on women and rare on Men. 1 Link to comment
Little Matt Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 You'd stand out. But I think most people would just think you have slightly odd fashion sense. And if it was a conventional thing for an adult male to wear, what would be the point? 1 Link to comment
froggy Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 It is fun to be different. I especially love the ones with cartoon characters on the bib. A few years ago, Forever 21 had male shortalls. I tried them but was too heavy for the xl. They no longer have them. 1 Link to comment

Cute_Kitten Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 IMO it depends a lot upon your local communities. Do a lot of the locals around you dress "regular" or "normal" or are there some more unusual clothing choices? How do others react to that? Even if you don't wear them out, you can always wear them around the house, or out on vacation, etc. 1 Link to comment
dondl2 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I have seen someone wearing shortalls more than once at a tobacco store, I do not know if he could have been AB I did not ask but wanted to. Link to comment
Fakename4me Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I wear them from time to time. Go ahead, no one will care! Link to comment
messyman Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Forever 21 has/had them in mens sizes. They do attract attention at least around here. Link to comment
Snugglebear_69 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Of course a man can but that doesn't mean they can do so unnoticed. Can and should are two very different questions. Link to comment
