Do you remember jumpsuits, a fashion disaster IMO?
Audrey
Absolutely! In the early 80's I had the most obnoxious unique one from Naf
Naf, a French brand that used to be more available here. It was bright green
with black stripes like what a train engineer would wear, a drawstring
waist, and an matching backpack attached by velcro and metal clips.
Perfectly hysterical and hidous. Enough that I have kept it for smiles.

Hence, the catsuit.
Why aren't Coveralls in fashion?

Why aren't coveralls in fashion? They are by far the most practicle
type of clothing you can wear. You never have to worry about tucking
your shirt in and they are extreamely comfortable to wear. The pair I
have has two zipper heads on it. One at the top and one at the
bottom. Just like ordinary Jeans you can unzip it from the bottom for
when you want to relieve yourself.
The local Sheriffs department uses green coveralls/jumpsuits. Those
in jail/prison wear bright orange coveralls due to their practicality.
Mechanics, military, pilots, carpenters, skydivers. They all wear
em.... Not only that but many have found them to be very durable and
comfortable for harsh winters for outdoor working. Carhartt makes a
very high quality pair of insulated coveralls of "duck cotton brown"
and they last for years and years and years.
And so I wonder when will coveralls become popular amoung the general
public? For both Casual and Formal wear?
Notice how in all those science fiction movies/shows people are
wearing coveralls? Star Trek, Star Wars? Me says,
Coveralls/Jumpsuits are the fashion of the future...

Fashion by its nature needs a bit of impacticality. I offer as my proof of that assertion the strappy stiletto sandal.

Not to forget that that the color is "Shoot Me If I Escape Orange." in jail/prison wear bright orange coveralls due to their practicality.

They pop up from time to time under the name "jumpsuits" but (IMHO) public? For both Casual and Formal wear?

I think you answered your own question. I don't want to look like a felon or
a helicopter pilot. For those of us with a long waist, they often produced
the dreaded camel toe. I have had a few and have no intenion of going back.
BTW, they never went out in South Louisiana as men have been wearing them
for at least 30 years. It makes me think of my late uncle . . . again, not a
fashion statement I care to make.
