Nude romper suit

I expect this has been covered before many times but I just simply cannot get the nude romper suit thing (type attached). I just saw this sort of thing coming out of a very hum drum Morrisons yesterday morning. Everything and I mean everything was outlined in it, front parts and back. I expect I'm too old to understand the attraction but they are so so so unflattering. Maybe that's the point??

It's like they've come out in their thermals.

Those and the short ones with thin straps that look like a wrestlers unitard - what is the appeal?!

Ha Ha - I saw several very attractive young women wearing a tight shorts and crop top version of this on a plane recently. Beautiful young things, but fuck me, the outfit did none of them any favours!

NeunundneunzigHorseBallonz · 06/09/2023 13:54

Looks like a sausage skin

gogomoto · 06/09/2023 14:14

Same for nude leggings that gather around the bottom. Just don't understand why!

tobee · 06/09/2023 14:43

Wearing them in this heat too! 😳🥵

Likewise, every beautiful young thing was wearing them at the airport. Short, shorts like a second skin and a crop bra. All colours, all looking like they were painted on or they were out in their knickers. Fair play they all had the figures for them, but what pressure for girls who haven’t. I was driving through ‘naice’ parts of London the other day, and it looked like there had been an explosion in running/ exercising. Now I am wondering if it was just girls in knickers out and about.
Skin coloured one make me LOL, I always think they are naked for a second!

Cannot understand how this fashion has happened!

Yes the nude/beige/camel colour is also utterly bizarre...camel (coloured) toe at the front and looking naked from the back with beige nylon rammed up the ass. The one I saw in Morrisons was also with two elderly people I assume are her parents!!! WHAT ON EARTH ???!!!!

I saw a girl in Peckham Primark the other day that at first glance I thought was naked. The suit was her exact skin tone.

Oh to be that young and confident.

Noodledoodledoo · 06/09/2023 18:56

We saw some on the plane home from holiday, 1 girl had an amazing figure and it sort of worked - not 100% convinced on the style but it didn't look horrendous and ok with a tan. Her companion of a similar age, did not have the same figure and it was really not flattering at all.

Echobelly · 06/09/2023 18:59

I can understand maybe a dark catsuit if you can pull off (I've seen one or two girls looking elegant in those lately, hadn't clocked it as a fashion yet), but yes, light colours will be unforgiving

Beebumble2 · 06/09/2023 19:11

Some people don’t have mirrors in their homes.

minipie · 06/09/2023 19:16

Kardashian wannabes.

Riapia · 06/09/2023 19:23

Like us rolling our school skirt up the wearers have learned that it pays to advertise.

Itsjustme83 · 06/09/2023 19:33

They are horrendous in any colour. You can just see everything and they don't usually wear a bra which makes it worse. Tik tok trend.

tobee · 07/09/2023 11:20

Venus Williams was wearing a blancmange pink version of this playing at the US Open Tennis. But it had a sort of same colour ballet lesson skirt attachment. I think Serena wore similar (in white?) but sans the skirt bit.

tobee · 07/09/2023 11:22

Just googled and Venus's has a looser fit

Yes that's terribly demure. No camel toe or arse crack to be seen. Morrisons would be disappointed.

Is it a Kardashian thing? I don't even follow them and yet think it smacks of it.

Lyracappul · 07/09/2023 21:07

It reminds me of the Damart underwear thermals in Woman’s own magazine in the 70s

gawditswindy · 07/09/2023 21:19

It's probably not even that cool. Sweaty synthetic fabrics.

I agree - it's got Kardashian written all over it.

jugggugg · 07/09/2023 21:27

They are awful & very very few people have the shape to pull them off.

Magnoliainbloom · 08/09/2023 03:57

Thanks for starting this! I messaged my friend yesterday to ask if she’d noticed the baby gro trend as I saw a girl wearing the hotpants length one in London - every single outline was on display - don’t know if this is worse or the scrunch-bum leggings (or maybe this is integrated into the baby gro). It’s hideous. Oh well, winter is on its way…

That’s so true.

My 15 yo dd has the hot pants black version of the above. She is very sporty and looks lovely in it.

Agreed lol
