There was a period in the mid to late 1990s when these unitards were everywhere... in magazines, in gyms... then almost overnight they disappeared. Does anyone know why they started and why they fell off in popularity? Were they patented by a company that went out of business? You almost never see them anymore.

Everyone who had one, please confess. I had a lot of genie pants, spandex, T Michael wear etc, but never one of these.

Was anyone ever brash enough to don a stripped unitard WITH construction boots?

For some reason I feel that WE should be asking YOU, this, and not vice-versa.

Like I said, they were everywhere: in every magazine… photoshoots… training videos… and in gyms. But it only looked “good” if you had serious mass.

Me too - couple of them in fact (oh brother)

Not that convenient when you need the toilet as I recall...

You mean "striped"? I believe "stripped" qualifies as a Freudian slip given the OP.

They never looked good. Just gay, cringe, tasteless, awkward, tacky and fetish-like.
Even more so when combined with Otomix shoes

In the 80's, the craze was California Baggy Pants - so many people wore them, quite comfortable, many styles and colors and graphics... now, just a few remain to buy out there..
