Do you own a jumpsuit/onesie?

This website sells examples of what I mean.

This guy set up a petition to ban onesies because he thinks adults that wear them "should grow up". Right now onesies are a popular outfit choice for festivals, some people just wear them as sleepwear.

I own a totoro onesie and I have worn it to a few conventions. It is comfortable and warm and makes costume parties less of a worry.

I don't get why he is having a go at people this way. Surely there are more important things to do?

Inmy late teens/early 20's I reall realy wanted a onesie, a real one with feet and rear opening and everyhing for a pyamas/loungin around at home, but I could not for the life of me find one. Now I see people wearing them on the bus, the train, in the malls, in the restaurant, everywhere!

They are real popular now. I mostly see them for sale online but I have seen the occasional store selling a selection of them.

I believe that so long as the genitals are covered and there is no danger to self or others (ie dangly bits near machinery, flammable fabric, etc), the government should be mute on what people wear.

I personally think adult onesies are unflattering and silly, but that is no reason to legislate.

I have never heard of this trend. What country are you from? I am from the US, although not from a big city so maybe the trend has not made out to my area yet.

I can't imagine wearing one of these on a regular basis, but it would be cute for a costume party.

How is this man expecting to get onesies "banned"? Is he wanting people to just stop buying and wearing them? (If that's the case, then the petition is not so much a petition as it is a list of people who have personally agreed not to buy or wear onesies.) Is he wanting the company to stop selling them? (They are not going to stop as long as they are making money.) Is he expecting the government to pass a law against onesies??? (That might be one of the most bizarre laws passed in modern times, unless there is some serious threat to society that I am missing here...) I can't see what he is trying to accomplish here, besides causing a ruckus about a young-person fashion trend that he doesn't like.

Australasia is such a police state they want to have a say in what you wear. why not just make everyone were a uniform such as an orange jumpsuit

Here in Britain LOADS of people are wearing onesies. But I don't see what's so good about them. I think they look horrid! Like massive babygros, but that's just my opinion.

in the uk and ireland,people asociate them with chavs/scallies/skangers/scumbags whatever the local slang for people who target the vulnerable is.
these guys were going into the job centre in these onesies,getting the dole then going into tescos etc and getting their booze and whatever,infact many supermarkets have banned people from entering with them on and even job centres dont allow it if rremember correctly.

in america its probably more associated with infantilizm but over here its strongly asociated with lazy jeremy kyle types.
it is stupid how people seem to believe that when wearing a item of clothing people take on a completely different personality,but thats humans;they have confusing social rules for everything from arguing to wiping their arse.

I think they're just a bit of fun (aren't people allowed to have fun anymore) they were talking about them on the radio a few weeks ago I thought they were more like pyjamas that people can relax in.
