f21 - wtf?

RyanJ · Coach

Seriously? A body suit? I remember my cousin buying those from Express about 12 years ago.

Hedvig · Coach

I used to have one of those in red with white polka dots - and yes, that was also about 12 years ago.

I KNOW I'm in a huge minority, but I adore dancewear...I was doing a lot of dancing around 5 years ago and invested in some really nice loetards and tights and wrap sweaters and other dancerwear. I like this too...I'm sure the fabric isn't great (esp. if it's synthetic), but the style is kinda cute.

I wouldn't wear it in my body's present (busty, flabby) state, but if I was thinner, I would probably rock it.

I used to have one of those in burgundy velvet back when I was in junior high. I don't think I'll be wearing one again

berryahou35 · Dooney & Bourke

I personally wouldn't wear it, but like my dance teacher said, you won't have to worry about flashing your midriff.... I don't know, that's all I could think of when I saw those.

member · Hermes

Yep - I was at F21 this weekend and saw them hanging w/the lingerie. It's funny that you posted this because me and some other girls in the for the dressing room were like "who still wears those?!"

monica · Kenneth Cole

i had a strong desire to buy one last week. I was in Florence, Italy and they were all over the place.. i honestly think that f21 is on to the next trend.

luckylily · Gucci

They do seem a little dated, but I can see their usefulness. When I'm wearin a lot of layers, sometimes I feel like I'm creating too much bulk over my hips and I end up fussing with things to keep the bottom layer from riding up.

I'm not a huge F21 fan, but I was in Miami, FL (Southbeach) last week for work and I saw some girls wearing them. They looked really cute. American Apparrel carries them, and I broke down and bought one in a deep purple color, and strapless with a fitted black high waisted skirt. I was told it would be hot, and I love to be ahead of the trends. Check them out.
This is the little body suit I got...

Here's a skirt I got but in black:

There's so many cute things on this site, and they're very affordable!
