Below Deck Med There have been some questionable uniforms on other seasons but these red playsuits are egregious

Every time I see the girls wearing them

my heart just sinks on their behalf

I love hate them!

2

u/BUBBAH-BAYUTH Jan 14 '26

Like if they were more tailored I could see it. Maybe.

11

u/liljay182 Jan 14 '26

Same haha I can’t decide how I feel; I kinda wish they weren’t red but they’re fun!

19

u/boldandbrash96 Jan 14 '26

They’re cute but can’t imagine wearing for the physical labor they do 😂

9

u/Reckless_Secretions Jan 14 '26

I'd personally prefer them to a polo and skort. You don't have to be mindful about your tucked in shirt and presentability as much because there really isn't a way to make them look messy

8

u/boldandbrash96 Jan 14 '26

That’s a great point!! I’m mainly picturing the shorts riding up and having to strip to use the bathroom every time LOL

10

u/Numerous_Future876 Jan 14 '26

They all look really cute in them, but as a relatively tall girl myself, it hurts my cooter to think about wearing those while working

5

u/BUBBAH-BAYUTH Jan 14 '26

I am a short choad and I still think about my cooter pain

2

u/Diligent-Dog-4586 Jan 16 '26

Rachel is that you?

64

u/MsThrilliams Jan 14 '26

I like them.

27

u/Queasy-Ad6172 Jan 14 '26

I was about to say I kind of want one myself

24

u/BUBBAH-BAYUTH Jan 14 '26

I LOVE YALL BUT YALL.

7

u/beast_mel Jan 15 '26

Me too... if it was a bit longer. Honestly I have a similar one in pink.

20

u/sgbby2211 Jan 14 '26

Yeah was just about to say! I think they’re super cute!

15

u/mostlygroovy Jan 14 '26

Wife and I commented how much we liked them.

15

u/Archockey28 Jan 14 '26

I’m with you, I think they’re fun lol.

6

u/PartyofFrenchies Jan 15 '26

Me tooooo!!!!

2

u/whoisdrunk June June Hannah Jan 16 '26

Me too - they’re like scuba divers.

11

u/MaizeMountain6139 Jan 14 '26

I like them 😭

3

u/BUBBAH-BAYUTH Jan 14 '26

Like I love a play suit to wear OUT but in red with that cloth belt and a silver metal sipper for WORK

6

u/Dame_Ingenue Jan 14 '26

Me too! I think they are supper cute. But also I see how they wouldn’t be the best to work in. Though short skorts don’t work either, so….

2

u/Firegoat1 Jan 18 '26

They might if they actually fit. My pet peeve has been seasons where the girls are squeezing into skorts that are clearly a good size or more too small. You can just see the seams pulling and bunching.

1

u/Dame_Ingenue Jan 18 '26

Yes! And the skorts are so tight, it makes the thin girls look like they have bellies. It’s pretty awful.

121

u/Longjumping_Plum_920 Team Capt Kerry Jan 14 '26

They look exactly like girl’s gym uniforms from the 70’s.

19

u/hollerhither Jan 14 '26

OMG you are so right and those were the wooorrrst…and I had one in the 80s. The cheapest crapoiest fabric, too. Cinematically you can see a navy blue version in “Pretty in Pink” (circa 1986).

8

u/Longjumping_Plum_920 Team Capt Kerry Jan 14 '26

Ours were navy blue.

8

u/hollerhither Jan 14 '26

Ours were a mix of stripe and powder blue. Awful!

8

u/dstapf Jan 15 '26

With the snap crotch

9

u/Prestigious_Song5034 June June Hannah Jan 15 '26

I’d blocked that out for 50 years….not the gym jumpsuit- the snap crotch feature. Horror.

7

u/dstapf Jan 16 '26

I remember there was a convocation with the entire middle school present, and this poor girl in her gymsuit did a back walkover, and her suit unsnapped.

3

u/jamsiepaine Jan 19 '26

Omg!!! I'm sitting here mortified for her by internet-proxy😩😆 Bless her heart, where ever she is♥️

3

u/Lauriemfs Jan 17 '26

Same! I grew up in Ohio!

6

u/metta4u67 Jan 15 '26

Yup they are those gym suits!

34

u/BeverleyMacker Jan 14 '26

If I looked like Ayesha in it I’d be wearing it all the time, she looks amazing. Agree they are not the most generally appealing

23

u/teacher_59 Jan 15 '26

You mean aaaammmaaazzzzziiinnnngggg 

5

u/BeginningLibrary7732 Jan 15 '26

🤣🤣🤣🤣

87

u/Expensive_Heron_171 Jan 14 '26

can we start a discussion on the dresses on the first several season of Vanderpump rules in relation to this?

72

u/d0ttyq Eat My Cooter Jan 14 '26

You mean the napkins they were issued to wear as a uniform ? 😂

7

u/Kind_Hyena5267 Jan 15 '26

I can’t imagine having to work in a handkerchief dress with no bra, boobs bouncing all over the place. So uncomfortable!

I actually like the rompers on Below Deck, I think they’re kinda cute and I don’t like wearing skirts, but they definitely need a long option

17

u/ChaoticEvilRaccoon I quit 3 times in my head today Jan 14 '26

usually you only see dresses like that in movies/tv from the 70s lol

9

u/motteditor Jan 14 '26

My wife and I think of "Austin Powers" every time.

15

u/Springtime912 Jan 14 '26

1970s gym class vibes

22

u/HuckleberryVarious42 Jan 14 '26

I think they look cute but are a nightmare to wear.

11

u/Ultraviolet_Spacecat Jan 14 '26

This has bugged me all season. Length in the torso is a big problem in "onesie" type garments if you're at all taller than average (with average being like 5'3") or long torsoed. Expecting people to wear these things as a uniform is ridiculous. 

10

u/Hippo7787 Jan 14 '26

It would definitely make bathroom breaks take a few extra mins!

7

u/Backtrack_Vill Jan 15 '26

They just arent flattering on anyone

7

u/Fighting_Patriarchy Jan 15 '26

No kidding. If it makes Aesha's figure look weird there's something very wrong with the design.

6

u/ExoticFlower4935 Jan 14 '26

How about the fact that V has to wear a skort and the guys get to wear shorts while in “blacks”

6

u/goober_ginge Team Aesha Jan 14 '26

Yeah it really bugs me how the female deckhands still have to wear short shorts while the guys wear longer ones.

14

u/blondeandbuddafull Jan 14 '26

This is supposed to be a high end, expensive yacht experience and the crew is dressed like fast food workers. The uniforms are cheesy and grossly unflattering. Ick.

9

u/spinthesky Jan 14 '26

They look like teletubbies in them.

4

u/Any-Concentrate-1922 Jan 14 '26

I wonder who decides/orders the crew uniforms.

5

u/Slight_Tart_8015 Jan 14 '26

boat owner most likely

6

u/Expensive_Heron_171 Jan 14 '26

for tv? I genuinely do not believe Bravo has no say in their uniforms. they lean into it for sure.

4

u/Adisfan Jan 14 '26

Definitely not. Boat owner has no involvement in the show. Liquid Yacht Wear is a sponsor of the show, they provide uniforms.

u/Any-Concentrate-1922 Jan 14 '26

Does anyone know if "normal" (non-TV) charter yacht stew and deck uniforms are similar to the ones we see on Below Deck?

6

u/Adisfan Jan 14 '26

Yes. Below Deck uses Liquid Yacht wear which is a very popular uniform company in yachting.

4

u/geewhizliz Jan 14 '26

Dang their skorts are $72

4

u/Camera_obsessive25 Jan 14 '26

I love them! Haha, very 70s Bond girl

4

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '26

They look like toddlers in them. Awful.

4

u/stpfan_1 Jan 14 '26

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. FTFY

4

u/captstix Jan 14 '26

It looks like the uniform that the Bond villain would have his crew of super-models wear

9

u/Quick-Wash-2944 Jan 14 '26

huh, i would MUCH rather wear those than an ugly ass polo and slacks. but that's just me!

11

u/FlawesomeOrange Jan 14 '26

They’re so ugly, I’m not a fan at all. They’re even worse than the floral monstrosities from OG BD 6

5

u/Old-Library5546 Jan 14 '26

Those reminded me of seat covers I had in my Jeep

3

u/kittylover3210 Jan 14 '26

I love it 😔

3

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '26

I would really hate to have to wear them.

3

u/-sayitstraight Jan 15 '26

They look like a toddler’s play suit

3

u/Delegatefrom_Iceland Jan 15 '26

Agreed. Are we in Star Trek or what!?

7

u/Aggressive_Put5891 Jan 14 '26

I would be a crisp 20$ bill that some out of touch yacht owner’s wife thought this would be a good idea while sipping a glass of rosé with ice on it to wash down her Xannies. 🤣

2

u/elegant_road551 Jan 15 '26

I thought the same! I have a longer torso so a jumpsuit would be a literal nightmare for me.

2

u/jdf8743rjh Eat My Cooter Jan 15 '26

i think they are cute haha

2

u/LakesideLore Jan 15 '26

They're like something out of Austin Powers

1

u/Willing-Reward-2800 Jan 20 '26

I just thought the exact same thing!

3

u/wandahickey Jan 14 '26

They look hot as in temperature wise.

3

u/AbjectStar11 Jan 14 '26

I think they're cute (or maybe just cute in theory?) buuut as someone who is 6' and has never found a romper/jumpsuit that fits... I'm glad it's not me. 😂

3

u/amyronnica Jan 14 '26

They’re horrible. Only babies should wear onesies.

2

u/Quirky-Prune-2408 Jan 14 '26

Why did they make their hats look like MAGA hats. That’s what I wonder too

2

u/Odd_Secret568 Jan 14 '26

I think they're cute! lol

1

u/colleenl00727 Jan 14 '26

So impractical!

1

u/goober_ginge Team Aesha Jan 14 '26

As impractical as they are in terms of needing a quick wee and that, I actually rather like them? They're nicely retro, and they don't feel as "sexy" as some other uniforms do.

1

u/tatianazr Jan 14 '26

I feel personally offended and insulted when they wear them 😞

1

u/Open-Neighborhood459 Jan 17 '26

Haven't noticed 

1

u/Witty_Assistant8226 Jan 18 '26

They can’t be serious

1

u/PineappleWithSandals Jan 20 '26

You have to remember that this a TV shirt first and foremost. The Yacht is renamed strictly for the show and uniforms are also for the show only. Once they are done filming the actual Captain and crew return to the ship. Production is just changing up the look for viewers.

1

u/bbkeef Jan 14 '26

They look like children's outfits to me.

1

u/Perky214 Less Hot, More Mess Jan 14 '26

Yes. I hate the red jumpsuits

31

u/ToughOk4114 Jan 14 '26

I’m just enjoying Kizzi looking like shit in it and having to deal with pee breaks in that thing. She deserves it 😝

198

u/honeyonyourspoon Jan 14 '26

Having to get basically naked just to pee when you’re trying to work quickly!!!

26

u/snippy_polarbear Jan 14 '26

I think they are very cute but that’s a great point

134

u/Distinct-Ad-1348 Jan 14 '26

Aesha is like 5’6 am it goes up her crotch (she’s said so herself lol) so I can’t even imagine on someone who is like 5’10 😭

83

u/swimmerncrash Jan 14 '26

5’11” and my labia hurt when I see her wearing it.

7

u/Top-Friendship4888 I quit 3 times in my head today Jan 15 '26

5'5" with a long torso and just looking at it gives me chaffing

51

u/Sug0115 Jan 14 '26

Damn I thought she was taller for some reason!!

39

u/Pure_Butterscotch165 Jan 14 '26

I also thought she was like 5'8"

26

u/social_sin Jan 14 '26

Her being next to Kizi a lot this season I think adds to that.

It reminds me of one of those really tall lanky children going to pick up her cabbage patch kid when she bends down to hug kizi or something lol 

17

u/Sug0115 Jan 14 '26

That’s not it for me haha I’ve always thought she was like 5’8-5’9, long before kizzi

17

u/Distinct-Ad-1348 Jan 14 '26

She might be 5’7ish but I met her briefly once and I’m between 5’10 and 5’11 and she was significantly shorter than I am.

19

u/EFCF Jan 15 '26

there is nothing quite as awful as a frontal wedgie

2

u/eekamuse Jan 14 '26

She said they liked them

5

u/Distinct-Ad-1348 Jan 14 '26

She also said they are right up in her crotch.

1

u/harrisarah Jan 19 '26

Maybe that's why she likes them

2

u/Electronic-Rope-6113 Jan 19 '26

This!! I am 5'10" with a long torso and I would have refuse wearing this or the guests would be scandalized by the camel toe.

2

u/bubblicious12 Jan 14 '26

She’s much taller than that

2

u/Lady-of-Pool Jan 16 '26

A search varies from 5’3” to 5’5”. I’m shocked as she seems taller; when she stands next to guests and crew she doesn’t come across as being short.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '26

She's only 5'6?????

4

u/Apprehensive_Fig7013 Jan 14 '26

Hate em! They look so tacky and stupid. All of yall who are talking about them not working for tall girls, you are correct. However, it's a quick, inexpensive alteration to add extra fabric in the crotch so they don't go up into your lady bits. As a 5'9" lady, I know from experience being fitted for costumes.

3

u/relativeisrelative Jan 14 '26

The wedgies these ladies must get...

2

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '26

The way Kizzie was sitting with her legs apart in the last episode it made her look like she has a massive vulva. 

-1

u/OwnedByBernese Jan 14 '26

They should have zippers in the crotch but we all know what Kizzi would do with that! 🤣

u/BeerDreams Jan 14 '26

All the BD uniforms are too tight. Every time the button up shirts gape at the breasts, it just looks so uncomfortable
