Yep. Just walking to the gym from the locker room.

Yeah. They’re on trend right now - I don’t just mean onesies, which have been on-trend for years, but beautifully-designed jumpsuits, at least for women - and a couple of the ads I’ve seen have talked about dancing wearing them. Um, no, and ouch.

And it’s hard to find one that fits (maybe more for women than men? It usually is in general) because it has to fit the top _and_ bottom half. So if you have a long torso, they won’t fit. If it doesn’t have straps, but is just a non-adjustable all-in-one, small boobs leave a gap, and big boobs just can’t get in them.

I don’t understand the trend in the slightest.

It’s certainly got that 70’s Studio 54, Steve Rubell vibe going for you.

Oh, sweetie. You’re obviously very fit and trim, but that thing hangs on you like a potato sack. Not flattering at all. Love the Crocs though 😉 and your sense of humor.

In my mind the only guys who wear jumpsuits are Elvis impersonators and the mooks in the background of a bad 70s James Bond movie ripoff.

Where did you wear it? What were people’s reactions?

Do you wear skivvies with it, or does it have a built-in hammock?

Looks like something Clara Bow would have worn 100 years ago.

Be sure to wear it with a trilby and dark glasses, for that sophisticated look.

Sunnies are good, brown hat no. Your head styling should remain seasonal with a palm leaf straw trilby. Accessorize with a thick gold chain, man purse and a fat cigar. Welcome to Miami!

Obviously, I’m not going to wear a rabbit felt hat with a toweling onesie. I’m not crazy. But it a trilby was requested. That’s the only one I have.

Really, the only proper way to get a Panama hat is to fly to Ecuador and stay there long enough for the multiple fittings, weaving and fabrication. Hope you didn’t have any plans; you should be out of there in about four weeks.
