Onsies to go to the shops?

[wonderstuff]

DH saw three people in town in onsies today. What is going on? I can only deduce that I'm getting old..

I don't see a problem with it.

I detest the creations. Don't get people venturing outside in them neither! School Runs Shop runs are all done by a fair few on onesies in this area.

If I ever set foot outside the flat in a onesie, I would take it as a sign I'd given up on myself.

I was in Asda just before Christmas, there was a bloke shopping in a Christmassy onesie.He was in his 50's, the onesie was about 3 sizes too small very figure hugging and he had a huge beer gut.
It was so funny everyone was looking at him sniggering, Ive seen some sights in there but this was the best :)

Some of my sister's friends do this and the daughter of someone I work with.

They've explained it to me. They are not pyjama onesies. They look like pyjama onesies, they buy them from the nightwear section of Primark, but they are not sleepwear, so it's okay.

What they do is go to bed in their bedtime oneise, get up, get showered, put on clean underwear, apply their make up and do their hair and then put on their daytime onesie and ugg boots or outdoor slippers. T'is very trendy, but only for teens, it's just "weird" when grown ups do, or so they say

Plenty of clothing options I don't like. I just choose not to wear them wouldn't knock anybody who did

Meh, they're not hurting anyone. Wouldn't be my choice (I go one better and throw on sweats and a t-shirt) but each to their own.

I really don't care if this is judgemental but no matter how cold it is and even if it were only the cats who saw me I wouldn't be seen dead in one. Hideous garments.

I've never actually seen one in the flesh on teenagers or adults. Obviously on babies , they are called babygrows.

There was a CSI episode about a murder at a furry convention.

DD's best mate has a unicorn onesie; he wore it to the school open evening.

Haha at most tramps take a pride in their appearance

Who cares what anyone wheres anyway? It's a rejection of social norms and pressure and I'm all for that. It can also be seen as a rejection of consumerism, and protest at lack of opportunities. I think someone did a study called 'pyjama girls' in merseyside, I've come across it but not read it. Might be quite interesting.

i saw a (young) man in a pickachu onesie today, was slightly too small which added to the appeal.

My DD kept her new onesie on for all of Xmas day, it's pink with pugs all over it she then drove her mate home at midnight wearing it, she's 24

I saw someone jogging in one just before Xmas. Bloke. Big cream/ navy Scandi print wooly one , not even something that could be mistaken for a sport unitard.

Surely it would chafe?

Where do people get the Pikachu ones from though?

I tried to get DS one for Christmas and all over the internet it was adult sizes only - not a sniff of children's ones!

He loves his skulls one, but I know he would have loved the Pikachu one even more, the little Pokemon nut that he is.

Not each to their own, or better things to get worked up about. These are grown up people - adults - deciding to go about their business wearing what can only be described as baby clothes. It's not fashion, it's not's clever, it's fucking embarrassing.

I like them.

I took my car for its MOT yesterday and drove past a man striding towards the local shops, in a camouflage onesie garment. I don't see many adults wearing them, a few teens, but I've yet to see anybody who is not a small child, looking good in them. I personally think they look ridiculous as outdoor wear. Horses for courses though, I don't care what anybody else wears as long as I never have to wear one.

This thread really makes me want to get a going out onesie.

IIhave a black one with little white snowflakes on it. When I'm having a lazy day and need to nip to the corner shop I put my big parka over it, put my uggs on and just go about my business. No one has ever passed comment. I wouldnt care if they did. Its true. Wearing my onesie has made me give up caring what people who aren't minding their own business think. Best £25 I've spent. I'm wearing it now and my Give-a-shit-ometer is resting comfortably at zero. Its like wearing a big chill pill. To be honest the area I live in is so diverse I really can't remember the last time I had a "What the feckin feck is he/she wearing?!" moment.

Saw a woman show up for her sentencing in court about a month ago in one, not a bother on her.
Tbh they're not an uncommon sight in the courts these days especially for people who've been picked up on warrants

It doesn't really bother me that others wear as long as I don't have to.
Think I ought to start wearing reading glasses though, just had to have a look at the link on ningabunnys post ( previous page) out of curiosity cos I thought it said Mucus Bag!

I think they look hideous, but I'm in the live and let live camp. But you'd have to drug me to the point of a coma to drag me out of the house in one.

While I'm here, I might as well say the same thing about jumpsuits.

DP had a 'wear a Christmas sweater to work day' before Christmas. A middle aged man who should have known better turned up in a onesie. DP said it was gross.
