Adults in onesies

‍

As winter approaches, you might spot an unusual sight on the streets of Denmark: fashionable people (mostly women) wearing an all-in-one ski suit worn predominantly by toddlers.

These ski suits (or rather "flight suits") have become a fashion trend in Denmark in recent years, and they show no signs of stopping.

Josefine and I discuss the past, present and future of this trend with lifestyle expert Julia Lahme, and what it says about Danish culture as a whole.

We discuss:

• How flyverdragter are linked to the importance placed by Danes on fresh air
• The history of flyverdragter - from shipyard apparel to fashion item
• Why it is deemed a human right (kind of) for small children to have flyverdragter in Denmark
• Flyverdragter in other countries, and how it is a growing export market
• General fashion trends, especially as the Covid pandemic finishes
