The Great Debate over the Adult Onesie!

We didn’t see it coming (don’t think anyone did to be honest) - but here it is - It’s the ADULT ONESIE.

And all we can do is gape, scratch our heads and wonder... WHY? Why? Because onesies belong on babies... period!

Personalized "Heaven Sent" Romper by Jack Spratt - GPB 21

Not on fully grown adults - some making millions and billions of dollars too! Like these:

 
Justin Bieber & Brad Pitt in their Onesies

Brad Pitt looks like a garbage disposal man/mechanic/prisoner all hashed into one.

Yes, you are a child Justin Bieber - at least wear Canadian colours! Where’s your patriotism? Oh right... you also managed to diss the PM of Canada by showing up in ‘overauls’ LOL (you said it - not us!)

What were you thinking One Direction... and you too Harry Styles?

The boys of One Direction look like they all need a lollipop each and should be tucked into bed (even you, Harry Styles... why?)!

Ellen & Ryan Gosling in an adult onesie spoof!
Ryan Gosling - after “Notebook”, we’d forgive you anything and everything - except THIS travesty.

Ellen - Nope, you’re definitely not rocking that ugly onesie!

Yes, the adult onesie looks very comfortable. But to make a style statement in it is just plain wrong. And think about what it’s like to go to the toilet in them... yeesh! Or... are we going to start doing the unimaginable (think happy thoughts!) wear diapers too? - so that one doesn’t have to completely disrobe while in the pit.

Any-hoo! The less said about this trend, that is catching on like wildfire, the better. So, we’re not going to waste our time ranting about how terrible it is... because it’s here and we’re going to see it right into winter, we reckon!

In these circumstances, one can only hope that it won’t stay for long!

The adult onesie is sure to go down as one of the worst fashion trends since we can remember - right there with ‘no pants’, wear your pyjamas outside and dropping pants.

But, if you think we’re talking a load of gobbledygook and if you absolutely MUST wear the onesie - then PLEASE, we beseech you - at least wear it well!


 Here are some ideas!

We're not saying don't be a slave to fashion but sometimes, we think, one needs to ask oneself the all-important question, as The Bard once asked: "To be, or not to be? That is the question!"

Our Best Picks: Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins - Launch!

The Kardashian’s seem to have their fingers in every pie you can think of... and now they’ve even won over the heart of Toshop’s ruthless boss - Sir Philip Green (read all about him here). He’s let them unleash their style in an exclusive collection for Dorothy Perkins in the UK (now global of course!).

We’ve always thought that European and American Fashion is world’s apart - BUT if this article in the Daily Mail is anything to go by, we might just have to eat our shorts!

We’ve browsed through the collection, which can be found here:

Our Verdict:
The collection is VERY and MOSTLY Kim with bits of Khloe and Kourtney peeping through here and there! Bodycon dresses, lacy, racy, very normal colours and big emphasis on the chest and derriere - which they all have ample of! There’s a lot of shimmer and shine and they’ve even roped in the very popular ‘animal print’ - an absolute ‘must have’ trend at the moment. Over all, a fashion hit, we think!


We Love: the way the dresses and tops accentuate womanly curves and we love the PU leggings!

We don’t Love: the animal prints - too bold, too crass and trying too much to be too different.

Here are some of our favourite pieces from the Kardashian Kollection:


Kardashian Cream Lace Blouse - £35

Kardashian Lace Trench Coat - £75


Kardashian Black Gold Bar Dress - £40


Kardashian Gold Glitter Clutch - £30
Kardashian PU Panel Tregging - £28

Kardashian Black Power Jacket - £50

And here’s how we think you should wear the top (See Glamset here), jacket and leggings (See Glamset here)...

Kardashian Top Set



Kardashian Jacket and Leggings Set


You can see all the sets here... on www.glamsetmatch.com

Well, we think the Kardashians did really well with this ‘Kollection’ and we can’t wait for the next one!

Cheers...

A formal Introduction - GlamSetMatch...


We shamelessly copied and pasted this from our 'About' section on www.glamsetmatch.com -- but truth be told... it is what it is!

So, this is who we really are:

If there was a penny for every time a woman looked at her closet and asked herself the niggling question - "What shall I wear today?" - global poverty would be eradicated and there would be some small change left to get that Python skin Hermes Birkin bag (Oh wait! there's a 'wait list' for that!)

And, if that question was not hard enough to answer... soon another one materializes - "What shall I wear it with?" 

...Step in - Glam+Set+Match! Born to...
  • Nurture your sense of style
  • Inspire you to wear things you may not have thought could ever go well together
  • Think out-of-the-box fashion

Because... 
  • Great fashion comes from great inspiration
  • Even a mediocre item of clothing can become uber-stylish if matched up properly

What we are right now:
  • Young and delirious
  • Happy and inspired
  • A destination where everyday people can visit to get serious style inspiration
  • A place to look at pretty pictures of very pretty things

What we're hoping to become:
  • A global community of stylists and fashionistas who create glamourous fashion sets to inspire everyday great style
  • A web destination for fashion and style curation

So show us some love - for the sake of all the budding fashionistas out there and stylists waiting to shine... because if you are reading this right now - you're either just curious about us or are one of us! Either way...
Welcome!
