What fresh Hell is this??

I saw this posted by an incredulous Instagrammer and thought I'd share it here. Words fail me

Er, apart from the yeast infection grubbiness of it -

Are you really expected to bare your entire back for winter??!!! Wear a big woolly cardi over it??!! Thermal vest under it?

I like it 🙈

I don't have the figure for it at all though.

I don’t see what’s so shocking about it. All the PPs with the comments about practicality, might get a cold back, need to wear thermals - errr clothes can be fun, and impractical, and just enjoyed. Not everyone wants to wear practical clothing. I can see how the bodysuit could look lovely tucked into jeans for an evening out.

Oh my goodness! One look at that thing makes me delighted i was a child of the 80's/90's!

You have probably blocked out all memories of Donna Karan and the Body.

I'm wearing a free people hoody at the moment. . I can report it has a full complement of sleeves and back and everything and is cosy.

That make things like that purely for the social media viralness. Works doesn't it.

And rightly so!

Backless thong jumper, looks perfect for walking the dog

I wish exposed arse cheeks would fall out of fashion.

This in spades.

Who wants an itchy bum crack plus imagine the foofoo chaffing 😮.

I was just going to mention the 'Body' of the 80s. Dreadful things and near impossible to do the poppers back up !

@glimpsing

Errgh! Dry clean only!🤢

Ewwwww.

Dry Clean Only
I wouldn’t want it if it could be boil washed tbh but dry clean only!

YANBU. That is hideous!

Rather than falling out of thong bikinis, etc.

I don't understand what you would wear it with & when ... I assume it's not intended to be underwear, but when would the weather be right that you could have long sleeved wool with an exposed back? And if you're supposed to wear bottoms with it then what's the point of having that bit under the crotch like a leotard? And does it have some kind of support for the breasts since you can't wear a bra with it? I don't understand this garment at all!

Looks stunning on the young, lithe models to be fair.

In addition to the aforementioned yeast highway, I'm also recalling that an inadvertent stretch for an item on a shelf (when I wore such garments in the 80s) could leave you with a very painful popper unpopping and a ricochet that stung. Let's hope that technology has improved.

I have a friend who would look fantastic in this —misses point of thread—

Clearly also misses how to do cross throughs… 🙄

@SirSidneyRuffDiamond

The front view doesn't really make it look more comfortable either.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the front view is almost worse! That poor model looks miserable as well you might if you had to wear a woolen thong bodysuit! Dry clean only? , not envy. Not envy at all!

@PurpleDaisies

If you’re wearing pants as well, it would be a bit hot down there. Pants, wooly pants over the top, jeans over that. Sounds like a recipe for a yeast infection.

LOL! Ever practical with the advice @PurpleDaisies

£269 for a wooly jumper with no back. Nope.

Next!

@Mermaidwaves

Imagine how damp the thong bit would get

That's a grim image....thanks!

What the hell is wrong with just buying a cable knit jumper that is longer than a crop top????
