Adult Jumpsuits
Fashion has a long history of changes in bursts. One day, what was worn as a new style is completely inappropriate, and the next day it is the hottest trend. In the 1920s, women were not allowed to wear pants in public. In the 1980s, punks were laughed at for wearing Doc Martins.
Not long ago, tattoos were only seen on gray-haired old men from the navy and ex-convicts. Time and again, we see that fashion choices that are strange, uncomfortable, or even scandalous become common.
Well, it turns out that currently these whole pieces are the newest item added to this tradition of fashion choices with that striking connotation. While some people think that wearing a jumpsuit in public is strange, immature, or even disrespectful, it has become one of the most progressive trends in pajamas and loungewear for men and women.
So, children's monkey suits have been around for decades, and by the way, this version of the monkey or onesie for adults is not that different. Both the adult version and the children's version are one-piece garments that are worn or put on effortlessly, usually with a long zipper in the front and covering all arms and legs.
Pajama Versions for Men
Both the adult and children's versions come in a variety of fun designs, often with a nod to dressing up as an animal or other hero figures like astronauts or soldiers. Many versions also have hoods, and the more creative versions of these hoods include animal features.
In addition to the fact that both the adult and children's versions of the onesies are so comfortable that in just a few years, they have become one of the favorite options for nightwear, daytime wear, indoors, outdoors, and everything in between.
Sleepwear
Sleepwear has been infiltrating public spaces for decades. In the 1960s, it was common for women to run quick errands in curlers and robes. In the 1980s, families began to go through drive-thrus in pajamas.
Over the last twenty years, more and more people have worn slippers to run errands and while shopping. Pajama pants with drawstrings were seen at gas stations, then in supermarkets, and then in large retail stores. And while the United States has reluctantly gotten used to seeing people in pajama sets or pajama pants, wearing adult pajamas in public takes public attire to another level.
Who uses these Monkeys?
If you haven't seen these pajamas in your part of the world yet, you might be wondering where all these jumpsuit users of this kind are. Like most fashion trends, the jumpsuit trend started to appear big in major fashion hubs like New York, Los Angeles, and Miami.
Onesies or one-piece garments have also gained traction in major university cities such as Austin, Madison, Ann Arbor, Columbus, and Berkeley. Internationally, one-piece garments are appearing in city after city, including London, Belfast, Berlin, Tokyo, Singapore, and in many of the major cities in India.
While the wave of full monkeys has hit city after city and country after country, it is still not in full swing worldwide. How can you tell if the trend has really started in your part of the world? If you keep your eyes open, you may start to see signs of the arrival of the full monkey.
The first to adopt the revolution of these pajama models tend to be elusive. There may be sightings at night pumping gas, hunched over on a bus, or quickly grabbing milk at the local convenience store. But once the trend starts to take hold, jumpsuit advocates gain courage and become more visible.
Once the trend intensifies in your area, onesie users will start appearing in groups. At this stage, you will begin to see people in these zippered garments walking around university campuses, moving through the grocery store, and occupying large spots at the corners of restaurants. You may start to encounter happy groups of onesie fans celebrating in bars and clubs throughout the city.
Friends of this trend have been seeing purchases in shopping malls. But if you really want to see the phenomenon in its full expression, you have to go to a café or restaurant on a Saturday or Sunday morning and you will see these one-piece outfits in mass while herds of twenty-somethings demonstrate that they wear the new preferred uniform of those who have brunch.
Youth Audience
It is also important to remember that it is unlikely that older people will be the ones wearing a jumpsuit. After all, older adults have never been quick to adopt new trends. You won't see your grandfather in a jumpsuit at the hardware store, and you may not convince your aunt to stick with her jumpsuit to pick up her kids from school.
But the reality is that they are tremendously popular among twenty-somethings and teenagers. And that means this trend will last for quite some time.
The Most Famous
Are you still not convinced about whether you should wear an adult onesie? Then take a look at the celebrity adoption of this comfortable fashion option. As early as 2011, young hipsters began appearing on Snap Chat and Instagram in onesies. Paparazzi around the world started taking pictures of singers, pop stars, dancers, athletes, and actors in all kinds of places wearing very extravagant.
In an early sighting, the tremendously popular boy band, One Direction, caused a great stir in the media by wearing very colorful onesies at a series of events. And the super stylish Justin Bieber has been spotted in bright outfits for many red carpets and events.
In fact, there is a long list of celebrities who have been caught on camera in their best onesie. While some of these celebrities stick to solid colors, many have thrown caution to the wind and embraced the more fun designs with animal themes.
And while celebrities are undoubtedly a sign that a trend is gaining momentum, there is no place like Instagram to take the pulse of any social phenomenon. After all, Instagram is one of the most popular places to seek social validation (and new outfit ideas). Once you enter Instagram, type in #Onesie and start scrolling through the millions (yes, millions) of photos and videos of the famous and not-so-famous sharing their love for these modern pajamas in all kinds of places, across the country and even around the world.
So, whether you live in Lexington or London, Baton Rouge or Belfast, Oakland or Osaka, New Jersey or New Delhi, you will see more and more onesies. This is a trend that has become global.
