The adult onesie is a serious thing. And adults are wearing them outside of their home. Whether they’re going to the store or they’re at a party, you can see someone wearing a onesie that makes them look like a panda bear.
But why are onesies so popular? First off, they’re warm. They’re also extremely comfortable.
No matter what animal you love, there’s an animal onesie out there that you can’t resist. Onesies also take adults back to their childhood days of wearing footsie pajamas.
And did we also mention they’re extremely comfortable?
Are you thinking about buying some adult onesies? Continuing reading to learn more about this trend.
Did you know the onesie is technically not a recent phenomenon? The onesie is actually a couple of centuries old! During the 1800s, retailers started selling adult top and bottom pajamas as one set. This was the birth of “loungewear.”
The onesie received extreme popularity during the 1930s, even releasing “elegant evening wear,” or a onesie made of silk. This was especially popular among men during this time.
From here, the onesie stopped being a staple of adult loungewear and became more popular amongst kids. We all remember that famous scene in A Christmas Story when Ralphie received the pink bunny onesie as a gift from his aunt.
Because of the nostalgia, the trend re-emerged for adults today. Now there are varying adult onesie styles—there are plenty of silk and cotton onesies in solid colors as well as silly animal onesies.
If there’s one fashion item that represents the collective of millennials, it’s the adult onesie. And there are a few reasons why.
First and foremost, comfort is at the forefront. Gone are the days of wearing four-inch stilettos and club party dresses to look good. Today, everyone wants to wear their favorite PJs—well, everywhere.
But a standard solid-colored onesie doesn’t look very fashionable. This is where the animal onesie comes in.
This trend meshes childhood onesies to the Japanese kigurumi trend, making onesies a staple at many places, everywhere between sleepovers and at raves.
The onesie also became popular for another reason—it easily stands out. Even amongst the onesie millennial wearers, how many people sport a onesie at an EDM concert or a bar?
Adults still love dressing to the nines, so seeing someone in a kitty onesie will sure turn some heads.
Adult onesies are all the rage right now.
But do you know why? They have an incredible history and an immense impact on millennial adults. Onesies are comfortable to wear in the home, but many adults wear the onesie to their favorite bar and even to a rave party.
Onesies are a worldwide trend that won’t die anytime soon. Do you have a onesie? If not, you need one! We sell onesies for both men and women in unique and colorful patterns.
