rebbyribs Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 My husband says they look like something a baby boy would wear. So, adult men want to remember their toddler years fondly? Perfect for recreating cute photos from decades past... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Actually I used to know boys who would have worn these (and maybe did) "back in the day" when I went clubbing in San Francisco. That would have been late 1980's, early '90's. But time and place can make anything seem acceptable and even cool. The 80's are gone folks. It's a sad truth, but there just isn't any bringing them back no matter how the fashion industry might try. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingaway Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 They don't really bother me, but my husband would die a million deaths before wearing such a thing. I sometimes feel sorry for men. It seems like they get such boring clothing choices if they don't want to raise eyebrows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbelle Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Love it! Just sent this to my dh. My dh company doesn't have a dress code. Some of the men have been talking about wearing cycling leggings and tank tops on Friday since there are a couple of women who do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEmama Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) :scared: Doesn't that just about make you cringe and shudder? I understand their point, but shudder...What do you mean? I mean, it would be weird and uncomfortable to wear an actual cycling kit to work all day, but I'm guessing they just mean tight shorts or knickers, not actual bike shorts. If you think men who cycle aren't sexy though, you're not hanging around enough of them. Some of them even wear kilts...ah, yup! ;) Edited May 20, 2017 by MEmama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 My dh hates pants. Sometimes he manages to go an entire YEAR without wearing pants if there is no wedding, funeral or other somewhat dressy event. He would never, ever, ever wear that romper. There is NO WAY that would happen. :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparklyUnicorn Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 I can't even make an exception for Sean Connery. Although, looking at that particular onsie, it kinda looks more like a coverup or towel/sort of robe for after you went swimming. So it's a little less insane looking to me for that use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in SJ Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 My much younger brother just posted that article on Facebook with the caption, "How do you poop in this outfit?" I informed him the same way women in swimsuits do; bare chested with eyes focused on the stall door in anxiety. I feel like reaching overhead while wearing a romphim would decrease a man's reproductive capability. Of course I also believe wearing a romphim would decrease a man's reproductive opportunity.

foxbridgeacademy Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 When I saw these I thought "crap, 1970/80 Euro is making a comeback". I think they're fine on the right body type but not many Americans have the type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry in OH Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Short coveralls for summer wear. :laugh: Dh thinks they would be a great solution for the male dorsal cleavage issue.

Farrar Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Dh apparently posted on FB today that he thought they looked hideous but comfortable. A shocking number of people told him to go for it.

Violet Crown Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 The only place you might see that in Texas is maybe Austin... and that's a big maybe. I can guarantee you it'll never hit the shelves here. Gag-worthy. No sightings yet ... but color it burnt orange and slap a Longhorn logo and a $100 tag on it, and it could happen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawthorne44 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 They look like PJ's. Look back at the polka-dot one. Don't those look like PJ's? The one Sean Connery wore looks like a beach coverup. Like something you wear to and from the hotel pool over your swimsuit, if you are prissy. I can't see DH wearing these so I don't have to worry. Add several inches of beer belly and a couple of decades on those models. Or don't, I don't want to traumatize anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
