to hate adult 'onesies'

[peacefuloptimist]

They just look like over grown babies in them. Where are you supposed to wear these things? I thought they were just for sleeping in (still annoying though) but they are starting to make them look like clothes you would wear outside (www.onepiece.co.uk). Even the ones for children just look really odd. This may seem like a stupid question but I can't work out how would you use the toilet when your wearing them? They are selling them in Next now and they just look like costumes. Please tell me I'm not the only one who can't stand them.

Rant over

Well the matalan instore advertising would have you believe that its perfectly normal for the whole (2+2 traditional mum dad, boy and girl) to go skipping in the woods in them

YANBU they are awful, I feel a bit creeped out when I walk past them in shops.

I suppose they're warm and comfy but personally I'd rather put on more clothes or the heating on. I certainly have no need for one now, as well as the tit factor.

Each to their own, innit.

How are they any more comfortable than just wearing, say, trakkie pants and a hoodie (or similar comfortable but not-for-outside wear)? And isn't is a PITA to strip off to go to the loo? And cold?

Like an absolute bellend I thought it would be a good idea to pack a onesie in my labour bag. What a BAD idea that was post labour, why, why, WHYYYY

I've known people wear them as fancy dress on a night out, I've seen people wandering around Sainsburys in them, and I've seen someone on the ferry at Dover-Calais wearing one.

There is a time and a place for them!

They are ridiculous!

My DH is desperate for one.

I tell him its a choice between owning a onesie or sex life.

Luckily the house is still an adult-onesie free zone.

My dd1 made me buy one in Primark - I love it - it's warm and snuggly - I would NEVER wear outside though!

I predict that they will be the garment of choice instead of pyjamas on the school run next year

I don't want to see people wearing them outside because past about a year old nobody should.. They are pyjamas-nightwear and should be for just that. However indoors they are fair game. I think they're A) amusing and B) look snuggly..Although one thing is it must be flaming annoying going to the loo in it.

I bought DH one for Christmas (but he found it and decided to wear it tskk) He looks hilarious, I suspect he's going to get me one as well. They do look nice and warm, fab for this weather.

Ohh I did see Strictly's Robin in a fair isle one, it actually didn't look bad.. only person that i've seen in one that I can take seriously though.

I am sure they serve a fantastic purpose - you could really shave off heating costs while wearing them round the house - but its a catagorical fact:

No one - absoluty no one looks good in them - rather like the Olympic Torch Tracksuits .......hideous....

I am at home watching TV, reading and drinking wine - I don't really care what I look like!

YANBU. They are an abomination. Since when did adults feel the need to spend most of their lives in their pyjamas anyway? They make shell suits look like haut couture.

I sometimes wear my onesie under my slanket.

I don't like them. I don't know why as they are no different really from a boilersuit/trackies, and personally I think people should wear whatever they want, but I draw the line at animal suits with ears on. It's the same with kids wearing fancy dress costumes as normal wear. Something about it just irritates me but again, I think kids should wear whatever they like.

I totally understand why people wear onesies if they are really comfortable and relaxing. My thing is pjs. I have many.

Oh hang on...

The onepiece tracksuit type things are less offensive than those bloody Kigu things.

I could be persuaded to hang out in the house in a loose jumpsuit if I didn't look like a massive weeble, but the animal things are just weird.

If I don't get one for Christmas, I'm buying myself a nightime one afterwards. I bloody freeze in bed and don't give a stuff what I look like

Er....they've been out over here for a few years now, mostly as animal onsies, winnie the pooh, tiger, eyore etc. I know loads of adults who have them. Aged 20 to in their 50's.

I don't really get them myself.

Are they supposed to be worn as pyjamas? I can't imagine wanting to sleep cocooned in cheapo polyester fleece. Doesn't it make you feel all sweaty, and doesn't the zip chafe if you are wearing it next to your skin?

Or are you supposed to wear them over your pyjamas? If so, surely that would be far too hot to sleep in? If you're that cold at night, what's wrong with a hot water bottle or an extra blanket or two on the bed.

Or are you just supposed to wear them for lounging around the house? If so, how much lounging do people do? . Why don't they just wear normal clothes?

But my biggest source of confusion is surely they must be ill-fitting on most people. I mean, when I think of myself and my friends, none of us are the same height. As someone with quite a long body, I imagine they would be massively uncomfortable because they'd be a bit tight round the crotch area. Whereas on my friend, who is a fair bit shorter than me the crotch would probably be bagging round her knees! Or do they sell them in a range of heights?

They make shell suits look like haut couture.

I really like mine as they are comfortable and warm but i wouldnt wear them outside

I can't see who would pay £100 to look "cool" in an adult onesie, but I bought the Polar fleece one from funzee (www.funzee.co.uk/product-range/soft-white-fleece-onesie-for-adults) and it is just warm and comfortable. I wear it in the evening sometimes instead of Pyjamas and a dressing gown.

YANBU.
