What’s wrong with this picture?
Nothing, until you find out it’s a one-piece “romper.”
Isn’t that just inexplicably horrible?!
I’m not sure why it’s so horrible, but the first thing that comes to mind for some reason is the problem of getting undressed with a lover. The shock, the confusion….IT’S ONE PIECE! Eooowwwww.
And you can’t even pull up the saggy jeans with a belt. It just creeps me out.
If you’re creeped out too, can you explain why?
I feel like fashion has reached a new low here. If you can’t master the shirt-tucked-in-jeans look on your own, there is no hope for you.
This *is* creepy – what happens when you need to visit the bathroom?
Who are these people that sat around a table and said “Right, what we need here is something new and inventive for this season. . .”
“what about a jeans/button-up-shirt romper suit”. ..
“yes, that’s genius” .. ..
Yuck.
I’m not really creeped out, but I’m not a big fan of optical illusion clothing. I don’t like sweaters with collars and cuffs sewn in to make it look like you are wearing a shirt and especially those dresses that are meant to look like a skirt and a shirt. It’s like a dickie, but worse.
Daphne Guiness would just love this. There’s no point to this outfit either.
ElenaR – I bought one of those sweater/shirt thingies a couple of years ago. Wore it once and couldn’t figure out how to wash it … it would need ironing. Pain in the arse (as we Aussies say) so I gave it to the Op Shop.
Not my style at all.
YUCK!! Make it go away!! Besides anything else, she looks hideous, can she please pull up the saggy arse on her jeans. Don’t think the issue of getting undressed in front of a lover would be a problem, no man would touch you with a ten foot pole in that number.
Does her arse look big in that??
Lucy – Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
What…the fuck? How does anyone rationalize buying this?
“What I really want is to sew my shirt and jeans together so that it is extra annoying to undress myself or go to the bathroom! The best part is that it will look exactly the same as a normal clothing – tricking people is SO fun!”
Clearly I don’t get it.
I think we all need cheering up.
Bring back David Duff in his underwear!!
I’m not creeped out. I think it’s a good idea.
But my question is…what’s a lover? I get undressed and get into my PJs in front of the refrigerator when I’m trying to multi-task by getting a quick snack while getting ready for Prime Time TV on the couch. I get undressed in complete darkness when I’m trying to pretend that reality doesn’t apply to me. I get undressed in front of a mirror if I’m feeling masochistic. But I haven’t got undressed in front of a lover. That’s a new one for me. Getting undressed in front of an empty extra-large bottle of wine, yes. In front of a lover, no.
Truly uncalled for. It just seems so insincere and fraudulent. How can you trust anyone wearing this? It’s like they’re trying to pull a fast one on you.
For the time poor dag.
It’s like baby clothes for grown ups. The saggy pants have that whole ‘space for your nappy’ thing going on.
the more i read your blog the more mad i think the whole world is
manrepeller!
Going to the bathroom in this one would be a nightmare. You’re right… from the front, it looks… meh. From the back, it is a diaper. For the most part, women never want to elongate their torsos and shorten their legs, so I can’t see this garment having much appeal.
It’s just taking one of the laziest, simplest looks of the summer (double denim) and making it stupidly complicated. It mainly weirds me out because until you explained it was an all-in-one I was thinking I would wear something like that tomorrow…
This pains me. What kind of an imbecile needs their shirt pre-tucked into pants? It causes more problems than it solves! Fuck!
I think it’s so creepy because this apparently normal shirt-and-jeans outfit is in fact merely a facade, concealing the unspeakable horror that lies beneath – the one-piece ‘romper’…
(That last part is said in a horrified whisper, like in ‘Heart of Darkness’ when Kurtz says ‘the horror!’)
It’s a romper in sheep’s clothing, if you will.
I’m with ElenaR, ready made dressing clothes are my personal dislike. It is ridiculous not to be able to put garments together. I think babies often have the denim jean and shirt combo for their romper suits. ‘Bout sums it up, wear with nappy.
Andra – Daphne wouldn’t be seen dead in this! She is anti-denim entirely!
All I can think is what a waste of 2 perfectly useful basics…
On the other hand, it’s a more fashionable version of a coverall? I’m just trying to find the silver lining here.
At least you don’t have to worry about your butt crack showing.
ok, can you imagine taking this off in front of a guy???
men are the biggest fashion bullshit detectors and I can imagine getting a lot of shit for this. Really, you can’t master the shirt and jeans combo? it’s like oshkosh for grownups.
Taylor is right – she has short legs, loong torso and droopy ass in this truly unflattering outfit. Why the rolled cuffs – to shorten the legs even more? Who’s the creator of this hideous crap?
This is really weird. For one, the main reason I buy jeans is because you can wear them with different tops. How fucking dull to be stuck with the same boring-ass shirt every time you put the jeans on.
For two, is it just me or is the waist way too low? Almost around her ass? Looks like without the shirt tucked in she’d be rocking this look:

which is perhaps why the two items are sewn together in the first place? I hope not. It’s a sad day when you’re too inept to keep your own pants up and need a tailor to do it for you.
Sadness. I liked the outfit until I found that out. I dunno. Maybe I just have an issue with rompers on people over the age of five. Like footy-pajamas, you just outgrow them at some point. It also has this “you just HAD to wear pants that day but you couldn’t bear to put on two separate pieces of clothing?” vibe. Why not just wear the jeans and the shirt?
Then I have the nagging feeling that this outfit wouldn’t work outside the carefully positioned world of photos. The clothes wouldn’t move with the body in the casual, slouchy-but-confident way that makes an outfit like that so comfortable and pleasing to the eye. They’d move like a romper. Ew.
Agree with everyone. Aja is right. IF you cant fucking tuck ur shirt into your laziest jeans properly, u have reached new lows. Also, the bathroom thing is really fucking nuts. Sometimes I wear rompers and when i find myself in public bathrooms with my boobies hanging out, i think – wtf am I doing?
jesus christ, are we that lazy that we can’t tuck something into a pair of jeans? I shudder to think about going to the bathroom in a public place in that thing..
This was designed by somebody who hates women.
The back view makes my head spin. I think the awkward proportions are what make it so bad.
Junya Watanabe did something like this for men–he printed the image of Levi’s (pockets and all) on a pair of blank pants. At first, I thought they were creepy and wrong, but soon I was wanting a pair and trying to figure out how I could hide a $900 charge from Barney’s from the Good Ed.
Who makes this thing for women? I kind of like it.
Yay! The ugliness of baggy separates PLUS the inconvenience of a one-piece! Just what I’ve always wanted.
oh my god. it’s like a second skin of hideousness. why not just get an all-over-body tattoo of jeans/gross early 90s chambray shirt and be done with fashion forever. at least that would be utilitarian
first time commenter i think (maybe second) but longtime lurker… however this took me out of my lurking ways…. i feel offended by this romper.
Rompers are stupid, and obviously makes you feel creeped out. I wouldn’t pay for that shit, it’s $157.99 too expensive. I am more concerned on the customer on UO that thought the item was “reallycool”.
And here i thought levi’s couldn’t do no wrong…i was wrong
Ugly AND impractical, hey sign me up! ;-p
Everyone has made good points, and I especially agree with ElenaR. Why fake the funk, you know? But yeah, it’s an unflattering, lover repellent mess!
Manrepeller 4 sure & an adult diaper required for a night on a bar crawl. Or else …
i want to punch it in the throat.
I’m just imagining all that fabric trailing on the floor of a public restroom when the person has to take a pee. Not to mention the fact that you have to wash the whole thing every time you wear it, whereas jeans only need to be washed maybe every 7 or 8 wears, if that.
I think the real icing on the cake is styling this little Adventure in Fashion Catastrophes with black suede heels. The heels say, “This becomes a classy garment the instant we come into the picture! Never mind that it looks like a denim prison jumpsuit the rest of the time!”
…gosh, I bet my horse drool/shit/fly spray-covered ill-fitting barn jeans could become the height of ironic chic with heels like that.
The ass of her jeans is saggy because the woman has no ass. Maybe the romper configuration was out of necessity, as the only feasible way to keep her pants from falling right off.
…on the plus side, I bet a woman wearing this would be totally rape proof. It’ll scare off all but the dregs of the male population to begin with, and said dregs who aren’t totally repelled will be utterly unable to get the Jumpsuit of Doom off the victim, giving her time to punch them in the face with a Classy Suede Heel and run away.
Ooooooooooooooooh, ManRepeller would LOVE this. LOL.
I second what Aja said. If you can’t even throw on jeans and a shirt separately…I mean…
*sigh*
lol @Greg
Its footie jammies without the feets. Miss J is always creeped out and confused when baby clothes are crossed with women’s clothes.
I’m creeped out because even if I DID wear it – HOW is Johnny Depp meant to do me in it?!
I actually can’t think of any benefits or reasons why this fake romper should exist. It’s just not meant to be. Its very existence unbalances the force.
Instant fashion at it’s best. How cunning, to pack a major trends in one overall.
It misses some studs to be really perfect.
You know what this immediately reminded me of…? Those saggy jeans with the boxers sewn into them from the late 90’s to take the guesswork out of “sagging”. Nice.
Whaaa..? The boxers sewn in them? I’d prefer not to know that such horrors existed!
