Kigurumi pajamas - funny animal pajamas

Homewear should be comfortable to bring a feeling of comfort. Many people choose bright and unusual kigurumi, which are increasingly seen not only in clothing stores for sleeping, but even to passers-by on the street.

Kigurumi is a jumpsuit with zippers along the abdomen, most often with long sleeves, pant legs and always a hood. This product has a free cut, often larger than the required size. One of the features is the image of famous anime characters, cartoons, fairy tales and the embodiment of their external features.

Initially, this type of sleepwear came from Japan, but now they are worn all over the world, including in Russia. Kigurumi quickly gained popularity not only among young people who are fond of anime, but also among those who like soft plush costumes, bright colors and associations with their favorite characters and animals. The origins are carnival costumes and clothing for cosplayers.

From the carnival Kigurumi broke into the category of home wear, and entrenched there thanks to its main qualities - soft and warm material, fun design. Soon after distribution, they began to be used not only as pajamas, but also as everyday outfits. Many even manage to play sports in them, for example, snowboarders, skiers, skateboarders.

No less popular kigurumi at parties, both pajama and costumed. Depending on where the kigurumi is worn, they can be worn on both a naked body and on top of clothes or even warm sportswear.

Kigurumi is a jumpsuit, but even he may have some differences in style. For example, this is the length of the legs and sleeves. Most often they are long, but occasionally there are products with shortened ones. Some models go from legs to socks at once or from sleeves to “legs” - gloves or mittens.

Most of all the diversity in the individual elements, and not a cut pajamas. Pockets can be overhead, slotted on the sides or it is completely one on the abdomen or chest.

On the sleeves and the hem of the leg, most often there are elastic bands or cuffs, but there are models that do without these parts. As for the clasp, then the priority is the use of rivets, but in general, buttons and zippers are appropriate. Some models of kigurumi are presented with a “pocket” in the area of ​​the buttocks, so that if necessary it can be detached.

Each model is individual Kigurumi, because it obviously has any special qualities of the character or animal being depicted. The similarity is achieved not only painted face on the hood, but also with additional elements sewn - wings, tails, ears. With the help of color, you can imitate the presence of clothing on the character, for example, overalls.

Kigurumi is considered unisex clothing that does not even have age restrictions. Therefore, in pair and family pajamas you are unlikely to find any differences, unless you sew costumes to order.

Kigurumi can be divided into basic models and fantasy. In the case of the first - this is the usual monochrome jumpsuit with a hood. But the largest category, of course, is the second, because it includes pajamas depicting recognizable characters. The most common images are animals and cartoon characters, less often movie characters, because they find it difficult to give a cartoon shape.

In the category of animals, they use not only four-legged mammals, but even birds, fish, dinosaurs.Among all there are several images that are most in demand.

In raccoons and red pandas are often the same muzzle, so they differ in color: gray-black raccoons, red-black pandas. Both those and others have an attractive face laid out with appliqué, sewn ears and a striped tail. Kigurumi-panda is two-colored (black and white) with a big-eyed muzzle, round ears and a small tail. Kigurumi-cats have many options for faces and colors: some may be monochromatic with eye-catching tummies, others - striped or multi-color. The same large number of diversity is observed in the models of dog costumes.

Some models are not quite standard and are not limited to traditional ears and tail. Pajamas-fox tricolor (red, black, white), with a tail and always ears, but the face is either embroidered, or the similarity is achieved by a special style of the hood. A spotted tricolor giraffe with a light tum is very realistic in head, because there are not only ears on it, but also horns and a voluminous nose. The main difference between gray and white with the addition of a black lemur is a long tail dragging along the ground with a filler, as in toys. An integral part of the kigurumi in the shape of an owl is a sewn insert from the edge of the sleeve to the sides imitating painted wings.

There are also favorites among the characters of cartoons and fairy tales, although there are no less models than animals. In multicolored unicorns, there is necessarily a horn and a “mane”, holed up by the hood, and sometimes wings on the back. Kigurumi-pikachu is always bright yellow, with a zigzag tail, and the muzzle has red cheeks and long lowered ears.

A good pair of options would be cartoon aliens - Blue Stitch and his girlfriend, pink Angel, with fangs at the hem of the hood.

They are hypoallergenic, and therefore suitable for all, will not cause discomfort and will not harm even the delicate baby skin.
