What makes the Fleabag jumpsuit so special?

Slate

Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag jumpsuit became an instant bestseller when Season 2 aired in Britain in April. Now the Fleabag jumpsuit craze has jumped across the pond with the recent Amazon premiere. "If someone said the words 'fleabag jumpsuit' to you, you would probably not picture an especially attractive item of clothing," says Heather Schwedel, who spoke to five women who bought the jumpsuit. "Perhaps some sort of exterminator’s uniform? But ah, capitalize that F, and that’s a whole ’nother story, if this week is any evidence. As Fleabag fever takes over the internet, or at least some corners of it, one outfit worn by the show’s titular Fleabag, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, has become a particular locus of obsession: the jumpsuit she dons for a family dinner in the premiere episode of the show’s second season, the most notable features of which include a lack of back material and a … strategically placed large front keyhole."
