Onesies!

Post Reply New Topic

I can't believe ''onesies'' have become socially acceptable in the UK among adults. Today my NT cousin came round wearing a giraffe onesie (one with a giraffe pattern on and a tail at the back), and everyone in the room admired her and said how nice she looked. Then she was about to go to Tesco wearing it, so I said, ''you're not going out in that, are you?'' And everyone had to explain to me that onesies are now in fashion. So I was like, ''oh, so that's why people won't take the piss out of you for wearing one of those?''

I hate the way fashion works. So basically everything looks OK, as long as it's in fashion. But I never, in my life, thought a onesie would become socially acceptable. I mean, 8 months ago you go out in public in a onesie and you would be ridiculed and bullied like anything. Now it comes part of their pathetic standards and it's all okie-dokie.

The way I see it, a person wearing a onesie is a person wearing a onesie. To most other people, a person in a onesie is ret*d when onesies aren't in fashion, but a person in a onesie is the most popular person in sight when it appears mindlessly in the fashion.

Not that I have anything against onesies, but I didn't think they would ever become something people would feel socially comfortable going out in (except for certain reasons, like workmen in those dungaree things).

I despair of the fashion rules, I really do. I like to be a sheep so I won't get ridiculed - but not to that extent! I despair of people, I really do.

I don't like fashion either.

I completely agree that wearing them out in public is ridiculous. However, as nightwear they are a brilliant idea. I don't like it when my pijama bottoms slide down and my pyjama top slides up and I get a cold patch in between. A onesie would theoretically solve that. The only problem is I can't find one that is suited to my body proportions. They all seem to be too high in the crotch, and give me a wedgie. So no onesie for me.

If I did have one I certainly would not wear it to go outside in the street!

They are the most ridiculous chavtastic disgusting wretched things in the world. Babygro's for grownups? I'd rather dress myself as the most outrageous drag act, or walk naked down the high street, than wear one of them. Ever. Do people like making themselves look thick on purpose? Surely, they'd try and hide their stupidity, rather than celebrate it. Dolts. Grrrr. "Hope lies with the proles", yeah, great stuff, but I think onesies killed that dead.

Am I conveying my hatred enough? No, and I never could.

It's interesting to see how skinny jeans have caught on in popularity. Back in my day, the only people who wore them were gay guys who were "advertising" their goods. Now pop stars wear them as well as hipsters. Maybe they're trying to tell the world something?

I just don't like the idea of fashion. What's acceptable/fashionable to wear and what's not. That sort of thing. I think people should be able to just wear whatever they like without others judging them, as long as they don't expose their genitals or something to the public. So in that sense onesies or whatever should be ok for anyone to wear anywhere. However, the idea of wearing/admiring them because it's now in fashion is stupid.

I have a picture of me wearing a onesie pajamas I was in my early twenties at the time, I think they were a present, I can't remember where I got them from but they were definitely too short and actually uncomfortable if I recall I would get tangled in them sometimes.

As for the northern habit of wearing patterned onesies outside, although chavtastic and that, part of me just loves the whole rebellion of it. I mean, if you think about it, it's really sticking it up to fashion. Oh yeah, you think we should all wear hipster jeans and flip flops, well, how about a rabbit onesie, then?
