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

GreenTulips · 01/11/2018 15:16

How did your ever find it?

MonkeysMummy17 · 01/11/2018 15:18

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!

MonkeysMummy17 · 01/11/2018 15:26

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

Haahhpy · 02/11/2018 04:38

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 😂

finnmcool · 02/11/2018 06:16

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

spanishwife · 02/11/2018 06:20

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

hungryhippo90 · 02/11/2018 06:21

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

thewayoftheplatypus · 02/11/2018 06:23

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

GulliverUnravels · 02/11/2018 06:33

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.

SeasonOfTheCrone · 02/11/2018 06:45

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

SeasonOfTheCrone · 02/11/2018 06:46

With the matching leggings, obviously.

Heuschrecke · 02/11/2018 08:01

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!

easyandy101 · 02/11/2018 08:04

What's this whole window about?

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

No good for having a shit though.

Biancadelriosback · 02/11/2018 08:14

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

CherryPavlova · 02/11/2018 08:17

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

WhirlyGigWhirlyGig · 02/11/2018 08:24

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 😂

Heuschrecke · 02/11/2018 08:27

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!

siakcaci · 02/11/2018 08:39

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

bsbabas · 02/11/2018 16:39

Soo annoying using the bathroom with them on

Cellardoor23 · 02/11/2018 17:21

That's well..interesting Grin

ASOS has a lot to answer for too £100 for that!
