The onesie 'dilemma'

I'm just going to come right out and state where I fall on this divisive subject (if you couldn't tell from the post title): no, no, no, no. Seriously, no. Yes they may be the comfiest thing since Abercrombie sweatpants but trust me, they won't do anything for your sex appeal! And frankly, I'm confused why a grown man would want to take style tips from George Dawes. I mean it was the nineties and he was trying to look ridiculous; is that what you want from an ensemble? If your answer is yes then go ahead, be my guest. I'll just be sniggering at you from afar.

I am aware that Brad Pitt has been snapped recently strolling about in his onesie and the entirety of One Direction love theirs (although they were photographed wearing them at the same time - screams sponsored endorsement doesn't it?!). If you've not seen the photos of Brad, look them up; even he, who is undoubtedly one of the biggest male sex icons of the last 20 years, can't pull it off.

I can see that a onesie may be useful in the Nordic countries they originate from where it's cold and they don't get a lot of sunlight, so no-one can really see what you've got on. But in Britain? It's still light at 5.30pm here right now and it's never going to be cold enough to regress back to when you were a baby crawling around in a romper suit.

And how do you go to the toilet? There may be a very simple action for this but that's what I think every time I see someone in a onesie. Is that the first thought you want to provoke in people?

If I've not convinced you with this post, seriously, look up the pictures of Brad Pitt. Then put the onesie back on the shelf or hanger (I'm unsure how you'd merchandise such a garment) and step away. Maybe treat yourself to a nice new pair of baggy sweatpants instead, and successfully maintain your credibility and your dignity.
