It was Al Bundy on the television show Married With Children that ruined it. He burned into the American consciousness the impression that only fat women wear muumuus. In reality, the muumuu is comfortable to wear in hot weather because it hangs loosely from the shoulders, much like the roomy Hawaiian shirt for men.
I don’t want to look like a weirdo. I’ll just go with a muumuu.

I hate the supermarket. I always wind up in the two-thousand-items-or-less aisle behind some ugly lady in a muumuu and curlers.
