Long have the French looked down their noses (and over their champagne glasses) at British culture. Whilst they boast haute cuisine, Marion Cotillard, and the word “chic”, we Brits, they say, have terrible weather, bad roast beef and no sense of style. But finally everything is changing. The French are falling in love with our things, including an unlikely product that makes no claims on good taste:the onesie.According to the latest figures, shoppers in Paris are snapping up the adult romper suits like never before, and are calling it the “unesie”. Debenhams says demand for adult-sized onesies in France is up 272 per cent from last year. The department sells more of them online to French customers than to shoppers in any of its other overseas shopping destinations.
The onesie – so British that even Boris Johnson admitted to owning one with the Union Jack on it – is just one of many things being pinched by the French.
