Adult Onesies come in all shapes and sizes now!
Adult Onesies might not be your idea of a fashion statement but if the house you’re renting is as drafty as a shopping trolley and ice is forming on the inside of the windows, sacrificing your ambition to be a style icon might be worth the “warm as toast” comfort that a good quality onesie can offer.
Unfortunately, in New Zealand there are a lot of poorly heated and poorly insulated rental properties. This is partly due to the fact that many (most?) rental properties are considerably older than the average house and standards for construction and insulation are now very different to what they were fifty years or more into the past. Landlords are often reluctant to spend money on insulation and heating as the increases they may be able to get in rent sometimes don’t justify the expense of purchase and installation. Personally, I believe that this is a short term view as improving the “livability” of your rental also increases the chances of re-letting quickly and encourages tenants to stay longer.
However, if you are stuck in a cold rental property, the adult onesie is an excellent choice to keep warm, even in the most run down of houses. There are many types of onesie available. You will probably have seen the “costume” onesies with ears, tails and cow-print patterns. These look great on someone else but imagine answering the door to a surprise visit from your flatmate’s parents while wearing one!
Another thing to think about when buying adult onesies is that you don’t have to be stuck with one of those thin onesies that are more like a pair of summer pyjamas. You’d only need to put on a dressing gown over the top aynyway. Look for a thick tracksuit material onesie that will not only keep you warm but stop the drafts and be rugged enough to not tear open if you catch it on something around the house.
Cute Womens Onesies!
Adult Onesies – Styles and Colours
This leads me back to how I started this article – fashion. Sure, you don’t want to look like an idiot but you also want to be warm! Adults onesies from Monstore (www.monstore.co.nz) are designed to look more like something you might wear after a hard workout than kids jammies! The Mens Onesies come in a number of colours including a Black Onesie with a hood that Mike Tyson might have been proud to wear! There’s also a plain Grey Onesie as well as blue and green onesie options.
The Womens Onesies are also available in more “cute” colours of “pink and black” or baby blue and grey. The Pink and Grey onesie in particular looks just like a tracksuit, so if you’re more modest about your onesie fetish, this is the adult onesie for you!
The hoods on the Monstore onesies also zip right up, so if your boyfriend or husband is snoring you can zip up his hood to muffle the sound or if there’s a scary bit in the movie you’re watching, you can zip up the hood and go to your happy place!
Finally, these onesies come with zip pockets, so you can put your hands in to warm up or secure the remote as you go to the bathroom!
