This New Fashion Trend Makes Getting Ready FAST And We’re Into It

Look there’s something we need to address. We’ve been seeing this article of clothing EVERYWHERE in 2023 and it’s time that we brought it to your attention. I’m not sure how this came to be but it turns out that this is the year of the unitard. Yup you heard that right. We are stripping down to our skivvies and pulling on some surprisingly comfortable, shaping unitards (which are also affectionately referred to as bodysuits or onesies, the unitard is rebranding). Albie even talked about a unitard she bought and loved in the link up a few weeks ago. Here’s what she had to say about it: “Hi my name is Albie and I’m your fave comfort influencer lol. One of my fave new comfort finds is this jumpsuit from Old Navy! So good! I purchased two colors to start and now I want em in every color. What I especially love is that I can wear em around the house with a robe and then switch out my robe for a shacket to pick up the mini from school or do a quick Target run. There’s a built-in shelf bra that’s surprisingly supportive considering how too heavy I am, although to leave the house, I pair it with a bralette to be safe.”

Now at first, I wasn’t sure I would be diving into this trend, but when I saw the viral target unitard all over TikTok, what was I supposed to do? I clicked on that link. And was it already sold out? You bet it was. Did I sign up to be notified when it came back in stock? YES, I DID OKAY. So low and behold, it came back in stock and I immediately added to cart. Here’s what it looks like for those of you who are curious:

It’s a dupe of the Aritzia jumpsuit and it’s honestly a very good one for half the price. Now note it’s not AS shaping as the Aritiza one, but I bought it and find it incredibly comfortable and I constantly want to put it on. Once I solidified that I’m a unitard kind of girl, I invested in this next lil number and I love wearing it to the gym and to my Rumble boxing classes 🙂

So I know what you’re thinking…is this all just workout gear?? Or is this a real fashion statement that I can wear around town? I’m happy to report that athleisure IS fashion right now (which is ideal), and we love a sporty-street wear kind of look, so yes you can wear this around town and HERE’S HOW.

There are 3 main formulas, let’s break them down:

Dad Shoes + High Socks + Sweatshirt

One of my favorite ways to wear a bodysuit like this is with a sweatshirt tied around the waist or around the shoulders (like in example #2). I love how effortless it looks with a simple tied sweatshirt even though I know getting that sweatshirt tie to look good involves much effort. Another notable element of this outfit formula is the dad shoe + high sock combo. We are not wearing ankle socks anymore no no no, instead we’re wearing cool white 90s dad socks with some chunky white sneaks (Just kidding, if you love ankle socks that’s great. This is just what’s very much on trend:)). Also the more accessories, the better. I’ll show you in some other examples below but just know you can never have too much. Add that fanny pack belt bag over your shoulder, pair it with those sunnies, and throw on a baseball hat. The thing about the unitard is that it’s simple and you make it your own with the accessories. So that’s a daytime athleisure look. Here’s how you’d wear a onesie in a more “going out setting”.

Chunky Boots + Blazer + Sunnies

YUP, that’s how it’s done. I know it may feel WILD to wear a unitard out to a restaurant but I’m telling you it’s fun and comfortable. The blazer adds some structure to the shoulders while the uni SNATCHES that waist. The contrast makes for a gorgeous silhouette and a trendy outfit. Now onto the last bodysuit formula and maybe my fav:

Sneakers + Button Down + Accessories

How cute right?? I love the open button-down or the button-down tied at the front. So into this look. Now if you’re convinced that these are the best ever and you want to purchase a bodysuit to call your own, here are our favorites right now!!

1. Target Shorts Bodysuit | 2. Lowback Bodysuit | 3. Mindset Jumpsuit | 4. Ecostretch Jumpsuit | 5. Cami Bodysuit | 6. Good Karma Onesie | 7. Skims Rib Stretch Cotton | 8. Berry Flare Jumpsuit | 9. Alosoft Sunsout Onesie

What are your thoughts on this new trend?? Drop your comments below, let’s chat!! Xx

This has crossed my mind, but on the other hand I love a good jumpsuit, and I accept the annoyance of the same bathroom situation for the trade off of having an easy, cute, comfortable outfit to pull on without much thought. (Best combo for me is a long, comfy casual dress with bike shorts to avoid chub rub, but it’s nice to have options).

That’s why I go for the coverage of a tankini but the ease of separate bottoms. And taking down tights under a skirt is a helluva lot easier than stripping a whole unitard off.

The average age of a reader here has to be, what, 40? And most of us likely have kids? The chances of us wearing a unitard are therefore… slim-to-none? As a member of the (presumably) plurality cohort of women who come here for floorplan- and paint color-based diversions from our jobs/kids and planetary/political crises, please, friends in charge of this blog, don’t give us this!! It has no bearing on our lives at all!

Lol integrity? Calm down. 1) I’m a plus size woman in my 30s who has been influenced and is now seriously considering giving this trend a chance (I love bike shorts, maybe this is even better) so some portion of their audience is open to this – the blog does not revolve around you and 2) even if this is a total miss (which I’m sure the professional women who run this blog will identify through data), there is no reason to think it wasn’t written in good faith. I hope you never have a lackluster idea at work and have your integrity questioned as a result! What an impossibly high bar to live up to.

Amy I totally agree. I feel like EHD was at its best when it’s people were actually creating and designing. I love when they featured projects they did for charity, or for a friend. DIYs? Yes please. Family conundrums? Yes please.

But then Emily moved to Portland to retire. JK. Just referencing Portlandia. And now it seems like the blogging is mostly done by her younger staffers and none of them have her voice or her aesthetic. I find myself interested in 20% of the posts max, and I’m sure their site traffic is reflective of this. Get back to basics ladies. What about Malcolm, Orlando, Albie, Key? Where did all the awesome other voices go?? Enough telling us to buy fast fashion.

Seriously! Something that really bums me out about comments like “I can’t wear X because I’m over 40/have a soft belly/etc” is that when we say things like that, we’re not just talking about OUR individual bodies. We’re contributing to the dominant discourse that older/heavier/etc women can’t wear these things.

Everyone is allowed to have preferences (and even hangups!)…but I wish we’d just say, “I wouldn’t feel comfortable in that.” Own that insecurity, it’s fine! (And completely understandable.) But don’t spread your ageism and fat phobia to those of us out here rocking crop tops and unitards and whatever else we’d like.

I *could* wear it. I’m fit, lean, long legs, confident…I just wouldn’t, because it’s not actually a ‘new’ idea, not easy to wear unless you’re at home, and like Emily, denim shorts and tees, etc. are actually practicably easier to wear, comfortable and cute! Simples.

I don’t imagine for a moment, that most “not for me” comments are from overweight people or people who actually ‘want’ to wear it.

It’s called a debate.
Debating different views and having freedoms to express those opinions, is healthy.

Yeah, I wasn’t at all addressing people who simply don’t like the style. As I said, people are allowed to have preferences, and if you enjoy debate about the ease of peeing or how cute something is, cool! My issue isn’t with people who just don’t like it, but with with commenters that say “I CAN’T because I’m too heavy, too old , etc…” and reinforce the harmful cultural “rules” that what we can wear is dictated by our weight/age.

Your statement that you “could” wear a unitard because you’re thin is exactly what I’m talking about here. When you suggest you “can” wear something because you’re thin, you’re reinforcing the untrue belief that there are some of us who CAN’T wear a unitard because we’re not thin. If you do in fact believe that, okay, whatever, but please keep that to yourself.

I never said that any body type could or couldn’t wear a unitard.
I said I choose not to, because shorts andtees are far more practicable.
Perhaps your own subconscious bias is influencing your response to me?

I find it mind-numbing that posts about “new trends” are continuing when they aren’t “new” at all, but simply fast fashion regurgitation to the masses who get sucked in and add to the landfill after they find put that the “new, fun” plastic-fabric item they just bought over the internet, causing excess packaging, transport, etc. is ill-fitting and nigh impossible to get on and off for toileting purposes. Simple.

I hope we can all be indful that people’s comments are not all about the subjective “you”.

I agree with AM. You literally used the word “could” and associated it with being “lean.” You chose those words. They indicate someone who isn’t “lean” could “not.” I’m sure you didn’t mean any harm, but you’re the one with the unconscious bias here. I hope we can all be mindful that comments can be unintentionally harmful.

For what it’s worth, the garment itself comes with plenty of unconscious bias. It “snatches” your waist and one option provides more “shaping” than the other option. Shaping into what? Some more “ideal”shape, I guess?

That’s not the garment itself – that’s how a few copywriters chose to describe two designs. To me a unitard is athleisure wear’s answer to the romper. I wear rompers because I like feeling pulled together without having to think too much about my outfit. Feel the same about dresses. This is a nice alternative, especially for days where a dress or romper feels too formal or too constrictive to chase around my toddler.

I think Europeans look nice in Spring and Fall weather due to layering and structure, but when it’s hot outside their summer tops and bottoms look just as unprofessional and flimsy as ours if not more. I agree about yoga pants or soft shorts, but a flimsy, cheap dress with shoulder cutouts in a questionable print is not much different. What’s good about American fashion is that people do what they want to, they have more confidence to put on things they want and not for show. My grandma and aunt in Europe would never be caught in pants or leggings. They always wore collared shirts and stiff jackets going out and running errands even in 80 degree weather. That was based in customs and also in feeling shame about their body and being afraid to be different and do what they truly want. So sure, it would be good if people cared a bit more.

Naw, we’d be wearing “shapewear” under our dresses to vacuum. That’s all corsets and girdles were- less technologically advanced shapewear. The girdle replaced the whalebone corset and my grandmothers generation was thrilled. Those ladies were later delighted to trade in their rubber girdles for Spanx.

Shapewear used to be limited to policing womens waists and breasts, now there is no part of our bodies left free to breathe and be whatever shape they happen to be. Sorry, I just really hate wearing shapewear! Bring on the caftans!

I saw this unitard trend at Aritizia last weekend, and was like, who the heck would wear that, and where? I wouldn’t even wear it to yoga class because it’s too exposing. Maybe if I were 18, but honestly I probably would not have even then. If I were forced to wear it I’d HAVE to have a sweatshirt over so that it looked like bike shorts. No thank you.

Exactly Katherine, who knew the unitard would get so heated. My 20 year old daughter and her friends, where this a lot in college. Its comfy and cozy (she is school in Michigan, we are from California) so warmth is important for her as well as fashion. I think the younger ones don’t worry so much about “having to pee” so that is less of an issue for them. Would I wear it (I’m 53), possibly. I tend to wait awhile before jumping on a trend, then maybe buy one of the trend, wear it for a few months, in my 50 year-old style, then move on. I’m now wearing 90s style jeans that I said I could not do (when my daughter mentioned the new style of jeans, as in “mom you should consider not wearing skinny jeans all the time”) and guess what, they are comfy and not as bad as I thought.

Love these! I had both bike short-length and ankle-length unitards when they were fashionable in the 80s. I found all kinds of ways to wear them. I’ll definitely pick them up again. They’re comfy, stylish, and casual. I’m 63, go out to live music (both playing and also to just dance,) and lead a super busy life. There is no age limit to anything. Wear what you love and what suits your own life. It’s as easy at that.

It’s in the same category at jumpsuits. So cute on until your bladder is about to explode at you have to strip down in public bathroom trying to keep everything from touching the floor. 😰😰

If the post doesn’t interest you, just move along. Not every subject is going to be interesting to everyone. I remember before Covid, Saturday posts were frequently about clothing. The negative comments people post when they don’t like the blog seem unnecessary. I’m 65 and enjoy reading the perspectives of different ages and demographics here on the blog even though many of the posts don’t necessarily reflect my experience.

Attempts to control the comments section of a popular public blog is what amuses me.

Listen, if you’re confident enough in every. single. angle. of yourself from clavicle to knee that you can stretch a knit fabric over it with nary a slouch, pleat or pocket to hide behind, a thousand praise hand emoji’s to you. I’m a hella fit mom of two, and I, in the words of St. Brené: “am dangerous, I love myself so much.” But that’s still a no from me so hard you can cut a diamond, bébé.

I’ve been loving a unitard moment for a few years now! Mine’s from Universal Standard and it’s insanely comfortable. I’ve done everything in it- lounged, slept, flown, yoga-ed, gone to work, ran errands, etc. I wear mine out with tunic top or shorter dress, so I haven’t run into feeling overexposed in a public bathroom (although it’s slightly cumbersome if I’m also wearing a jacket).

Love this post. I wore bike shorts and onesies in the 90’s and love seeing them come back around. I have been wearing a Free People onesie to Orange Theory fitness for the last two years. I’m 58 and 5’10. It’s hard finding jumpsuits and onesies long enough for my torso, but when I do they are fabulous! Totally worth the inconvenience of going the bathroom. Just can’t wait till you really gotta go. I haven’t tried layering up for wearing outside of working out, but this post inspired me to try it. Thanks!

Who knew that the comments section of EHD was filled with so many cranky old Karens. Lol. We have the internet to thank for all of these folks thinking that (1) content should be free, (2) they should get to rant at length, and (3) if there is an article they don’t like, the world must know.

It’s called a “comments section.” People are commenting. I’m pretty sure I know who the “cranky old Karen” is.

That you have come back to this thread to comment repeatedly tells me the Karen is you. Didn’t realize a Karen could be triggered by a unitard.

Right? All of a sudden any older Karen who isn’t catered to in a post (spoiler: not every post is going to speak directly to you) has to sprint their ass to the comments to complain. Must be exhausting for them.

Paige, LouAnn –

You must be young if you’re happy being so derogatory of other women’s ages, so let me share some knowledge with you, something you’ll learn as you mature:-

  • Women don’t need to be derogatory towards other women in order to disagree with them.
  • Women don’t need to demean other women in order to take issue with their comments.
  • Women don’t need to belittle other women if they have a different opinion to you.

And y’know for the most part the ‘cranky old Karens’ reading this blog manage to get their point across in a way that remains respectful.

You didn’t need to use demeaning language in your comments. You chose to. And it shows that you commented without any self-awareness that your contribution, your own ranting and public whinging, looks exactly the same as the ‘Karen’ behaviour you’re supposedly calling out.

Own goal ladies.

And my two sentence comment was “ranting” lol….I wasn’t derogatory about age in my response unlike the dozens of angry older women in this comment section and there was no demeaning. The nastiest interactions I’ve seen on this blog and on socials always come from older, typically white, privileged women.

Okay – You do realize that some of your readers here are not 25? (-: Would be great to have someone on your team that can relate to / offer ideas for those of us that aren’t. I’ve got ideas! Pick me. (-;

Did it in the 90s. Will not repeat. It was a fun thing then, but meh, the reality was my long torso and unitards, bodysuits, etc never really fit. My 40s are freeing because to all of these 90s rebrand trends I say: great for you, not for me. I’ll be over here in my skinny jeans. 🤣

Allowing age to define style feels quite antiquated and limiting. We don’t want to be put in a box but aren’t we putting ourselves in a box when we isolate styles to a certain age group with the knee jerk “no.” I’m not saying you gotta love a unitard but I’m a 42 year old mama and I’ll be damned if I let a number dictate my style- now or ever. I love a unitard and I love overalls and I love skinny jeans and flared jeans too. Wear what makes you feel good but leave all that judgement behind- it’s toxic. For all the people over 30 out there complaining about this post, aren’t we wise enough to know that it always comes down to confidence and aren’t we feeding the cycle with comments that limit our choices?! I recommend embracing a wider scope of possibilities – you’ll be surprised at how liberating it is!

How many of us are of the age where we pee when we sneeze unless we’re doing a kegel and the right padding? And how many of us are wearing a unitard? I’m wearing a tank top and separate legging or biker shorts: same silhouette, better convenience. I’m wearing what I need to be wearing at my age and body shape.

Yikes. Shocked to see so much unitard hate in the comments. I absolutely love to wear these and am a 38 old woman without a perfect body who doesnt live in LA. Everlane had the best one (sadly discontinued) and I would buy 5 more if I could and check Poshmark on the regular. Perfect to layer with a sweater! for bike rides! for Pilates! Also, my go-to comfort outfit when on my period 🙂

Women crack me up, ha – these comments are so hostile. I could live in any onesie, jumpsuit, unitard & love that that EH likes to experiment and have fun with clothes. I’m a pregnant mom in my late 30s & believe me, one can still figure out how to pee wearing a onesie. It’s not complicated.

Same reason I won’t buy a jumpsuit. I am never going to be on board with being undressed when needing to use a public bathroom. Actually wouldn’t want to do it in my own home or at friends’. And if it actually hits the floor of a public restroom, ugh!

Unitards do seem like too much work for me too but they are super cute and I loved hearing about this trend so thank you 🙂 I don’t mind these types of posts occasionally to keep it fresh and fun, I avoid social media most days so it’s not easy to keep up with what the kids are doing !
