This has just popped up on my timeline, and genuinely who would wear this? What is it and why? Have I missed a fashion trend?

I've given up. I am so far out of touch now I'll never get back in. Like I'd never get into that bodysuit Grin

Me either customer 😂

I follow everything5pounds so this must be their latest advertising campaign, not sure what I've been doing /looking at for that to fit my profile!!

I'd look like a Richmond's sausage in that!

On closer inspection it's not a full body suit, the model just has the exact same skin tone

It looks bizarre in that picture but I could imagine young women in it with jeans or something as it’s just a body. Wouldn’t be for me though and that is a weird choice of picture to advertise it!

Had those in the late 80s. So not going there again.

I thought it went down to her feet at first and was wondering how on earth the jeans suggestion would work Confused

What the hell?! Why haven't they styled it with a skirt or something?! It's hardly intended to be worn as a whole outfit 😂

I remember the hell of trying to do a bodysuit up when pissed and headbutting the cubicle door during the battle! Shock

I really like it! Looks like a mesh/sheer high neck top with billowy sleeves and a body section. It's pretty. I'd wear with some white denim culottes, or flowy straight leg trousers

Where would you even wear it? With bare legs too!

I own this! Blush But I am a fat old mum, and I wear it under other sleeveless tops to hide my bingo wings!!

I like it! But my skin is dark so I wouldn't look naked Grin I'd wear it with all sorts - jeans, a full midi skirt, wide leg trousers... I think the model's wearing it without anything on the bottom half to make it clear that it's a bodysuit, not a regular top.

This is exactly what I'm wearing to an interview later today.

With the matching leggings, obviously.

I couldn't really see where the nude one started or ended!

I'm too old to wear one now but, like finn, I also remember the pissed headbutting cubicle doors when trying to do up a body suit again Grin

Reminds me of Patsy in Ab Fab; she was wearing a body suit, drank too much Bolly, couldn't do up her body suit so the ends were flapping around outside her trousers!

Did you never learn the sideways tug, Heusch? So much easier!

No good for having a shit though.

I wear bodies most days for work with a high waisted pencil skirt or jeans. Looks much nicer than trying to tuck a top in and ending up with a faux muffin top

It’s rather appealing- do they have other colours do you know? Seriously where do buyers get their ideas from.

I think I'll leave garments like this to my daughter now, she does actually wear them. I'd have wet myself before getting the poppers undone.

And I'd look like a sausage in it too, a very fat one 😂

I used to do that with swimming costumes, Lakie, but, oddly, never with a body suit - I have no idea why Confused

Cherry, someone upthread linked to the same website as the OP's pic - they have them in red and mustard as well. Not sure I like the colours too much (but that's just my personal taste), but at least you can see what it's really supposed to look like!

I looked and looked but can't work out what is wrong with it? Surely it's just a bodysuit? Quite common items of clothing atm
