Women wearing bodysuits with the flaps hanging out…

I was in a restaurant the other evening and a girl came back from the loo and sat back with her friend. I was mortified to see her bodysuit ‘flaps’ ie the bit that goes underneath your bits, hanging outside her jeans. I was about to go over and let her know but thought better of it.

the next week I saw another girl strutting along the street with the same. Is this a fashion thing I’ve missed?! It looks terrible btw.

It’s a fashion to button them at the waist and tuck in. I haven’t seen an intention letting them hang out but that could be a thing. I’m in a hipster sort of place and definitely the former is very common.

@SixSevenShutUp We sure did. I don’t think I could cope with going out clubbing now with everything recorded on social media!

We didn't think to take cameras back then. I know I had one, just thought those days would never end. I would love to see what a state I was back then, with my mullet and white stilettos 😂

It always reminds me of a toddler whose parent has put them in a popper vest but they are toilet training so they don't have them done up.

My brain cannot picture what you are describing....?!

Yes I'm wondering too. Do they effectively have the gusset flaps popped together on one side of the waist? So the body suit is all bunched and baggy on one side and stretched and wonky in the other side?
Bloody hell talk about "fashion victim"!

They have the gusset left open. One bit dangling front and the other one dangling at the back.

We are both replying to 'It’s a fashion to button them at the waist and tuck in.' as @Inthenameoflove described in their post - not the OP.
