A website devoted to future fashion discusses the jumpsuit:

Union suits, long underwear, jammies-- call them what you will; the uniform of Future Past is the jumpsuit and its near kith and kin. For men, at least. For women, really, really short skirts are always an option.
Why this love of jumpsuits is so strong remains a mystery. Certainly they have an air of simplicity and efficiency that implies a go-ahead world of tomorrow, but they also tend to lack pockets, are extremely unflattering on spacemen beyond a certain age and girth, tend to ride up in unfortunate places and, in some cases, makes going to the toilet a matter of disrobing completely.

Jeez.
There are only nine million people in the entire country. Which makes the percentage -- just staggering.

Great movie.

Jesus. Apparently my cousin's fiance is OK, but I have no idea about the rest of his family.

Speed-suit!
Given that any attempt to predict future fashion will be ludicrous, I think jumpsuits are at least fairly simple for illustrators and costume designers.
Yeah, the Star Trek costume department used to hate it when they had to design civilian clothes.
