The Right Night to Break Out Your Onesie

The onesie is the wildcard of the pajama game. Funny, fuzzy, and almost cartoonishly cozy, these all-in-one nighttime garments make any night a slumber party. When that special night rolls around, ditch your regular PJ’s for something a little more interesting.

Some bedtime occasions call for more than just your regular shorts-and-a-T-shirt ensemble. Here’s when to go all-out with a snuggly onesie.

Slumber Party With the Girls

Throw back to high school shenanigans by hosting a slumber party with your best pals. Make sure you’re stocked with popcorn, candy, and white wine (for an adult touch) and start a pillow fight in your softest, cutest onesie. Pick a suit with ears and a tail to unleash your animal instincts.

Watching the Big Game

Show your team spirit by donning a sports-themed onesie for when championships roll around. For a long evening of tense competition, nothing is more comfortable than a onesie — lounge, jump, and cheer on your favorite team to your heart’s content.

Blizzard Warning

With the bitter wind howling outside and snow piling up around your house, stay in and snuggle with or without a sweetheart in a warm onesie. Covered head to toe in down fleece, you’ll ward off the chill with just one piece. Grab a blanket if necessary and settle in for a day of sitcom reruns and hot cups of tea.

In The Great Outdoors

Though onesies may look cute and cuddly, they’re also practical. If you find yourself on a camping adventure, wear a onesie underneath your clothes as an effective insulating layer. Pick a onesie in a fun color or print and let it peek out from under a flannel shirt and waxed jacket, and hit the trails.

Basic pajamas are so yesterday. Zip yourself into a warm and whimsical onesie and revel in life’s simple pleasures.
