Yay (well minus the pee pee problems but, I hate public bathrooms anyway). I can see it with a nice little jean skirt and some super cute shoes.

As a guy, I love wearing my unitards. I got only three. One retro flexitard one that’s black with hot pink & teal slanted stripes on the chest & legs, and two adidas ones, one blue and one black. 🙂 And I plan on getting alot more, as my birthday is coming up next month in October. 🙂

I also got alot of leotards, one gray from American Apparel, four from Danskin, and alot of others. I love wearing them also. 😉

I wear them when I exercise, and when I do aerobics. 🙂 I also got over 30 pairs of leg warmers, and countless pairs of slouchy socks. 🙂

Warmly yours,
Chris

HEY…i wear a unitard…i have several…i love them…and if i say so myself i look damn good in it. i would say as long as you have the body for it, it’s fine…there’s a lot worse you could wear…even if you don’t have the body just wear what you want and don’t worry about other people. other people tell me i look damn good in it too. it’s easy to accessorize, it can be formal or it can be really casual. here’s what i don’t understand….if i wore a black leotard with black leggings over it…no one would think that was weird…but because it just happens to be connected OMG…I saw Tyra wearing one with a zipper down the middle…and she looked damn fine. and i think this particular unitard comes from american apparel and anything from that store is fabulous. so bascially: unitards=fabulous

Big fat NAY! I think they’re not bringing EVERYTHING from the 80s, just the ugly and unflattering stuff. -_- And I don’t know about being young. I’m 17 and, although I really like my body shape, I don’t have to wrap myself in a bad version of the cat suit to show it off. I have much classier and fun clothes that do the job without making me look stupid. Even as a teenager, I still think this “new fashion” is fit for the circus or the ballet, not for the streets.
PS: Some people really don’t seem to know what their bodies look like. I’ve seen many rather big chicks wear things like this with skirts or shorts and someone really needs to tell them…it does not get any more unflattering than that!

I agree - as a stand alone piece, this is a Nay. And if you want a layered look you can achieve the same thing with a pair of black leggings and a matching v-neck t-shirt, which has the bonus of more versatility and no bathroom issues.

Big NAY.

It’s a gimmick: AA’s attempt at being tragically hip by bringing back Everything 80s, no matter how unflattering or inefficient. It would promote a surge of UTIs among women who hold their pee for an unhealthy amount of time because they don’t want to remove their ENTIRE outfit to go to the bathroom.

As a stand alone piece, I would say absolutely not! I find that lots of people are seriously disillusioned about what their bodies REALLY look like or simply DO NOT CARE! I would really prefer to not see someone wearing this.

But the truth is if someone wore it correctly, no one would know it was a unitard. I love to see people taking questionable pieces and innovatively creating a look for themselves. As we all know what works on one person is a disaster on someone else….so be realisitic about what you are working with.

I say if you know what you are doing go for it. The bathroom issue is yours alone!

A BIG NO!NO! I will agree with Racheal I lives the leggins and the bulky sweaters with the leg warmers.And I hate to say it Iam not a teenagers any more so this style will have to go back in the closet.[way back].

A BIG nay! The unitard would make me look like a sausage. With clothes over it, I would look like a sausage wearing a mini skirt or a tunic. Not a good look.

it’d be okay on the women out there who are super skinny, never hot, and don’t pee.

so that leaves like.. 3 people?

i think it could be ok. i love the leggings thing-they allow me to wear all kinds of cute skirts and dresses in new ways and this could be the same.

This could be a yea! Don’t think of it as wearing it alone. Wear it under a tunic, or under a jersey knit dress. I think it is great as an under piece for layering.

Nayyyyyyyyyyy!! Unitards are just not flattering to the figure….Plus, have anyone ever tried to use a public restroom with a unitard? THE HORROR!!
