Middle-Class “Seriously?” Trend of the Year
Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 8:17AM 
This year a trend emerged that was genuinely bewildering to a lot of middle-class people. It started with our pre-teens. They started slumping around the house looking like giant babies. It turned out they were emulating full-grown celebrities who were actually going out of their house dressed like this. And then it caught on among apparently sensible adults. The onesie is unquestionably awful and undignified. A huge babygrow, often in terrible prints. But people really seem to love them. Apart from great swathes of MCs for whom too-comfortable clothing is a matter of concern. Let’s hope society grows out of its onesie obsession next year.

I do find it ridiculous when people wear the onesies outside. it is the same with the others that seem to think it acceptable to go out in their pyjama bottoms and a hoodie. however, i do find them the most comfortable item of sleepwear ever designed. they have been going around for years in the US where I attended school, and have been sporting them on cold weather around the house for at least 9 odd years. As someone that turns and tosses in his sleep like crazy and wakes up with the duvet on the floor, having something that keeps me warm is awesome. But only as pyjamas.
