bj - I'm not sure what is what in the pics, but to offer a lame opinion, I prefer what I see in pic #2!

Interesting idea of an adult onesie But the perennial question arises about totally undressing just to use the loo? (Remember I'm old enough to have worn catsuits and bodysuits and tried to use the restroom in the 60s and 70s

I'm still dubious - thought I'd push this to the front page though.

Hmm. Well, I like #2 better, but I am not sure if that is because the belt gives it a bit of definition. It is hard to see the difference in fit.

How do you wear it, BJ? Is it loungewear, or going out wear?

I like #2 better for sure, and the belt adds a lot more pizazz.

Bj111, I love the look of jumpsuits and am still looking for one for myself with ample coverage - you know that. I cannot get my head around the fact that this is fleece. It needs to be woven or at least NOT look like pjs. I cannot judge the fabric from the photo so I can't give an accurate assessment (perhaps it looks better irl), but that's what is gnawing at my mind

suz, totally get your question re loungewear. still deciding...

angie, it is made of sweatshirt material with leather piping at the collar, placket and pockets (as if that dresses it up!). i think that's what attracted me. i love the look of jumpsuits but feel that they are too fussy and less wearable in better fabrications! that this one looks like pjs just tickled me and made me laugh as if it were an inside joke. not sure that is a good enough reason to keep /wear though.

much to think about!

I hear you. I guess we hold the opposite views on jumpsuits and that's no problem at all :).

When will you wear the jumpsuit?

Let us know if the knees and bottom bag out after sitting and wearing. It's fleece afterall!

hmmm...bagging out is the most compelling reason to size up!

I missed that it is fleece! Interesting, and yes, a fun inside joke. The only thing that makes me pause is how much the front of the top portion blouses out/hangs down when viewed from the side. Hmm... I do prefer the M overall, though.

yes, rae, that is why i preferred the small.

I am not opposed to jumpsuits, I actually have seen some wide leg ones in rayon that had me do a double take, but these look like the 2 piece tracksuits of the early 00's and the fleece sends them into PJ territory. If you must have one, I vote medium.

You asked for opinions, so I will give mine. It is not horrible, butiit doesn't really do anything for you either. My verdict is "meh," although it is hard to see much in the pics.

I'm really getting a tracksuit vibe from this, to be honest. I think I'm having the same reaction as Angie to the combination of the loungey style and ultracasual fabric. I kinda love the idea of a jumpsuit, but I'm not loving this one. I hope you don't mind my candor -- your style is so excellent, but I don't see this as being up to par with your other fab outfits.

I'd like to see this in a silkier fabric to avoid the camping pajamas association with fleece + onesie. That may just be me. But it looks better in the M!

Like it belted. Looks jersey-ish on my screen, not fleecish, but only you can see it IRL. Sounds like a lot of doubt on the forum...I think you should hold out for a silkier one - if you are going for a more wearable versatile piece

ladies...i LOVE your candor. that is why i come here.

trust me, the hubster eyeroll has its place. k/rs are not them.

thank you, thank you for chiming in and saving me from designer sale goggles. just for the sake of complete disclosure, these are t by alexander wang. got it for an even cheaper price than the outnet.

BUT, all sizes are going back. i know a HUGE sigh of relief is going across ylf-land, ruled by the benevolent queen angie.

Heh. I remember wearing something like this in the late 80s that was made by one of those companies like "Multiples" - you bought this and some stretchy fabric accessories to wear as belts or scarves. I LOVED it. But would not want it now.

wow, una, i remember the multiples and lusting after them. i was a poverty stricken student and shopped thrift so i never owned any.

do you think this is my way to soothing my past soul? (*snort*)

Yes, it was a huge purchase for me at the time (in college)... So funny! I wish I had a picture of me in it!

Ha!! I also remember Multiples and think I owned a top, skirt, belt, and pants!! (And felt pretty cool, if I do remember correctly)

and BJ - I do think there's a lot of psychology that comes into what we buy, why, etc. So, maybe you've laid your poor student/Multiples ghost to rest by owning these for a few days

I love the second one. But would prefer it with booties for this time of year (and the sleeves are long after all). I vote Keep in the Medium! This is so fun, now I want one.
