Wearing an adult onesie

Full disclosure: I grew up in the 80’s and as many young men, I was fashion-forward. Inspired by my favorite band (The Police), I bought myself a jump-suit in which to go clubbing. I was quite fit, had no mobility issues and it was still a pain in the ass to live with. My excuse is that I was 19 and it was the 80’s.

Come back to the onesie life

Does 19 and it was the '80 = cocaine?

Even for Connery it isn’t a great look; he looks like he’s ready for some “Momma Put Baby To Bed!” sexual cosplay. Given that this is also the film where he cheats at golf, wrecks his armed to the teeth Aston Martin DB5 because he was fooled by a mirror, and gets captured repeatedly, narrowly escaping death only because Oddjob moved slower than an overweight bulldog, it is surprising that the Bond franchise continued and thrived.

(Apropos of nothing, Cec Linder (playing Felix Leiter) was the only actor filmed in Miami Beach for the establishing shot walking past the pool; all of the other scenes with Connery, Margaret Nolan (Dink), and Gert Fröbe were filmed at Pinewood with a rear projection backdrop.)

Next up, Roger Moore’s penchant for double-breasted suits with aircraft carrier lapels. His Bond had a certain panache and distinctive delivery, but he usually dressed like he was someone else’s butler.

Nothing summarizes the 'Eightes in ninety seconds as much as the Plymouth Duster “Cocaine Factory” commercial but wearing a jumpsuit to go clubbing is a pretty good runner up.

You think that’s a decision you make fully sober?

I’m guessing that “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” was something you heard rather frequently at that point :wink:

It’s not nearly as bad as my other crime of fashion; Don Johnson (Miami Vice) linen sport jackets.

I had on a linen jacket yesterday.

Over a Lacoste polo, collar up, sleeves hiked?

Linen jacket, linen shirt, shantung silk tie.

In the early 'Nineties when the USA Network was rerunning Miami Vice, one of my college housemates had a television that would angrily buzz every time Don Johnson was on screen in his clashing style of pastel jackets over fluorescent t-shirts. As I recall it was especially disturbed about a salmon-colored jacket over a bright turquoise shirt. It made watching the show far more entertaining than I recalled during its original run.

We rolled in my friend’s Plymouth Sapporo.

I don’t think Johnson wore a polo, or if he did, it was rare. He wore a t-shirt or short-sleeve henley.

Vinyl top with whitewalls out while blasting “Jesse’s Girl” and “Hey, Nineteen” out of the tinny, no-base-range speakers, I hope!

Dapper. Too much brown for me though.

Heh. You’re joking, right¿

Well, we were huge Police fans, and I remember a lot of Blondie and Tears For Fears. “C’mon, I’m talking to you…”.

Likely not an issue, as those wearing it are likely to have a carer along to help with dressing.

That’s a $545 onesie. There are garments I can imagine paying $545 for. That is not one of them.

If you really, really like the look, similar garments can be found at a price point where it will be ok to give it to charity if you find that it isn’t practical enough for your use.

$545.

Price isn’t a concern.

What’s the worst that could happen?
