Three Reasons Why You Should Wear Adult Pajama Onesies As a Grown Up
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Kids are always eager to become "grown ups". So now that you are one, you probably didn't imagine you'd want to be a kid again. Be honest, you do. It's okay.
Why is it okay? Because adulting, the concept and practice of being a full fledged adult, is especially hard for the infamous millennial generation. Like, really hard. Coming face to face with the harsh realities of life as a grown up makes the fantasy of being an adult as a kid fall devastatingly flat. As a result, it's incredibly easy for millennials and adults of all ages to reminisce about the good old days of being a kid, when life was simpler and easier.
Aside from downloading a version of your favorite old school computer game -- cough, cough, Oregon Trail, cough -- and trying to avoid getting grounded by your parents at age 33, another great way to embrace your inner child and take a break from being an adult is to wear an adult pajama onesie. Yes, you read that right. Adult pajama onesies are a thing, and a surprisingly popular one at that. Even celebrities are sporting the adult pajama onesies trend -- some pulling it off much better than others.
Are you eager to escape the pressures of adulting but aren't sure if onesie pajamas for adults are right for you? Check out these three ways that adult pajama onesies can make you feel like a kid again.
They're comfortable -- like really, really comfortable
Remember how you didn't have to much thought into your personal style as kid? Not only did you not quite develop a sense of your own personal style yet, but either your mom or dad was usually the one that picked out your outfit and pajamas anyway. The main focus of clothing for children is functionality and comfort, with an emphasis on comfort. Many kinds of adult pajama onesies are made of fleece. Though the thickness of fleece fabric varies widely -- there's 100, 200 and 300, with 300 being the thickest -- all kinds are cozy and comfortable, making it the perfect fabric for adult pajama onesies. The average American sleeps eight hours a night, so pajama onesies are a great way to stay comfy all night.
They just look cool
When you started to develop a sense of personal style and wanted to express yourself through fashion, there were probably a few items your folks found distasteful. See, this is one of the perks of adult life. Now that you're a real grown up -- kind of -- you determine what you want to wear and when you can wear it. Adult pajama onesies allow you to personalize your sleep style even if mom doesn't approve.
They're a lot of fun
The concept of adolescence and childhood were all but eliminated by the sentiment of the American Industrial Revolution, as young children went to work in factories right alongside adults. It's hard to believe that it was common for people to wed in their midteens! Fast forward to today, and it seems that the childhood is embraced well into adulthood. Adults of all ages find that returning to this innocent, magical time in life is a great way to relive the experience, but with a new found appreciation that only age and experience can bring.
Research indicates that 74% of Americans wear pajamas of some kind to bed, while 8% sleep in their birthday suit. The rest wear "something else" -- whatever that is. Don't allow yourself to fall into the naked 8% category or the lame "something else" group. Come on. It's time to sit with the cool kids like you always wanted. Now is a great to wear adult pajama onesies and and feel what it's like to be a big -- or not so big -- kid again.
