Janie Grace Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I am so happy about florals being everywhere -- I love, love, love them. And yesterday in Urban Outfitters, I saw denim overall shorts. Cute and so comfy. But also... body suits. With snaps at the crotch. You know, the onesies for adults, except we don't wear diapers so they are RIDICULOUSLY uncomfortable... WHY??? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I wore body suits in the 80s. I thought they were great for keeping blouses tucked in under skirts and trousers. Kind of a pain to use the toilet, but otherwise, I found them useful and comfortable. Now, I don't ever tuck anything, so... won't be buying any. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I like the way a body suit looks for tucking purposes but I could never master those crotch snaps back in the day and no need to try now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 My brain twitches at the mere thought of a body suit! Why is there a rash of bad, bad fashion ideas coming back???

Guest Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Ohmygosh, no. I had one - ONE - of those snaps-in-the-crotch body suits back in the day. It was not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I was so pleased to find "feminine" flannel shirts at Target this spring. I used to live in jeans, t shirt, and an untucked, unbuttoned flannel over the top... and now I an again! Of course, back then they were shirts I stole from my dad, now they are supposed to be for women, but I sized up to keep the roominess. lol 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirts that look like huge sacks? Pants with elastic ankles and gaudy patterns? And the solid colored short shorts with the rounded legs and white bias tape along the seams. When dh told me the 70's were coming back--because of these shorts--I thought he was joking.

J-rap Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I kind of like bodysuits, because you never have to worry about your shirt untucking! What I really don't like now are all the cropped pants. I've been looking for just a plain pair of a lighter-fabric/summer black jeans. Every store I've been to only has cropped jeans this time of year. (I did finally find a pair online.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when decent clothes come back, I will consider leaving my beach bungalow and rejoin civilization. Nah....better to just stay on the beach forever. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender's green Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 My mom had a box of old high school clothes with a mint green romper in it. I thought it was so cool and sophisticated and couldn't wait to grow up and wear rompers. I'm 30 and pants aren't really my style, but part of me is still fascinated by rompers and I kind of want to buy one just to get it out of my system. And then when I'm 60 or 70 and they come back into style I can be all "Oh my goodness, rompers! I had one when I was 30, and..." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything but the hair!!! ETA: I know that I'm alone in my hatred of skinny jeans. I'm just glad somebody else understands my hatred of tops shaped like paper grocery bags with arm holes!

Zinnia Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Bodysuits! They always pulled down so that the neckline was so low. That was fine as a teenager, but now, after nursing a bunch of babies and gaining weight.....nobody wants to see all that cleavage! I might get arrested if I attempted a body suit these days. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
