YABU
Firstly, they were Kigarumi, they have been in fashion with the Japanese for at least the last ten years. For some reason the rest of the world couldn't come to terms with the word Kigu and came up with the ridiculous term 'onesie'.

Proper Japanese Kigurumi are warm, fleecy suits that are not only outstanding for parties (ebay search Kigurumi rather than onesie, so many cool characters to choose from!) and they are incredibly warm.

If sticking on a kigu rather than the heating of an evening saves me a few quid then why not. Personal choice. I bought my first Kigu about 8 years ago now, between DD, DS and I we have about 8 ranging from Skeletons we use for Halloween to a Pikachu, Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, Cats, Dragons and a Cheshire Cat. They are fun.

YABU

I love both of mine.

itscockyfoxagain · 12/11/2013 14:27

I wouldn't walk down the road in what is essentially an overgrown babygrow, but as a replacement for a dressing gown at home on a cold night I could possibly be swayed.

bundaberg · 12/11/2013 14:28

well obviously plenty of people own them, otherwise a lot of shops would be losing a lot of money.

DeWe · 12/11/2013 14:31

Ds is extra cuddly in his. Grin

SkinnybitchWannabe · 12/11/2013 14:34

I cant believe adults I use the term loosely actually go out in public wearing them sad fuckers
My youngest ds has one, takes it off at night to put his pyjamas on..very strange

IneedAsockamnesty · 12/11/2013 14:35

I have one its warm and comfy two of my children live in them and wear them everywhere because they like the fabric it does not irritate them nothing to dig in and bonus to me they can both get them on by themselves so they give a bit of independence.

GhostsInSnow · 12/11/2013 14:38

my siamese thats the problem with the English cheap Primark knock offs, they aren't made like proper Kigu's which have long crotches. Proper ones look like this

ElenorRigby · 12/11/2013 14:41

Juice you actually wear those!! Shock

OP YANBU Wink

absentmindeddooooodles · 12/11/2013 14:42

I love them. Wouldnt wear them out but for in the house theu are so cosy and warm.

The only problem is having to get freezing cold when you go to the loo.

.....my dp sorted thi by bringing one home that had.......a butt flap. :/ I told him that he is never to use it or I will leave him. Grin

Although he does have a few others for the same reasons as me. Warm and comfy and no faffing with jumpers and layers etc.

SmiteYouWithThunderbolts · 12/11/2013 14:45

YABU. VVVU.

Try one. You'll never look back. They are the mutt's nuts for snuggly warmness. I adore mine. It's purple with moons and stars all over it.

mirren3 · 12/11/2013 14:49

I've just seen a advert for one that is for two people, called a twinsie. No, just no....shudder

Elenor they are much comfier than the UK versions, mostly because they are made of a much thicker fleece but also because they are baggier.

I do wear mine in winter yes, over my sleep vest and shorts. Much better than turning on the heating. They are exceptionally warm and snuggly.
Don't get me wrong I have no plans to wander down to the shops in mine but I have no issues at all with wearing it in the house.

MaidOfStars · 12/11/2013 14:52

YANBU. I don't own one, and would divorce my husband if he bought one for me, even more quickly if he bought one for himself.

But I'm not the kind of person who wears pyjamas around the house. Perhaps if I were used to that, the step to a onesie wouldn't seem so extreme?

YABU. I was you a mere 3 months ago op. It wasn't until I eased my body into the polyester goodness and hunkered down on the couch completely covered up and draught free that my opinion changed. Its like wearing a cloud. No wonder babies look so smug when sleeping.

SugarHut · 12/11/2013 14:53

Never to be worn out of the house. This goes hand in hand with those who believe they look "hip" by rocking around the town in their PJs or going to the supermarket in hair rollers.

In the house, love them. If you get the Primarni ones then they do look rubbish and ill fitting. If you get the better made ones, some are actually quite flattering and super comfy to wear. Perfect if you're going to all body moisturise or tan, as they aren't skin tight but stop you staining everything you own Grin

openseason · 12/11/2013 15:03

i coulden,t wear one i need to pee fast when i get the urge and i have terrible itchy feet.

MySiamese · 12/11/2013 15:35

I got my one from next, i think i just have a long body/legs compared to the average person. That one you linked to looks fab though!

HandMini · 12/11/2013 15:43

YANBU. I if want to be cosy I put on my brushed cotton pyjamas, thick socks, a long cashmere cardigan and a hat. I do not dress as a fleece animal.

kali110 · 12/11/2013 15:46

I love them! Keep me so warm. Never worry if dp pulls bed cover off my feet anymore as its like im in my own sleeping bag already!

usualsuspect · 12/11/2013 15:47

Onsies are for anyone who wants to wear one.

ElizabethBathory · 12/11/2013 15:50

£200 M&S cashmere onesies are not ideal for babies Grin
