Men’s Onesies Are Real and You Should Wear One this Spring

Image used with permission by copyright holder

It’s the holiday season and time to do some serious lounging. You might be looking for the “right thing” to wear while kicking around the in-laws’ house on Christmas morning. You might need also need something cooler than sweats for evenings around the fireplace at the ski lodge you’re sharing with your ski buddies. Heck, you might just need something to pull on around your drafty house that offers a bit more coverage than a bathrobe.

Enter the men’s onesie.

It’s like a sweatshirt with legs … baby clothes for adults … one-stop dressing … astronaut chic. It’s comfortable, snuggly, and, most importantly, nice and warm on a cold spring’s night. 

However, if toddling around the house looking like, well, a toddler doesn’t quite work with the chill, masculine image you’ve been working so hard to maintain, get the same effect with a union suit. It’s a classic, proven solution, with lumberjack swagger. And, in a pinch, the right one is even an excellent solution for a base layer if you’re venturing out into the cold. The long, full-torso front opening can also let you be as buttoned-up or as unbuttoned as the mood (you should pardon the expression) suits.

MeUndies makes this updated version of the onesie so comfortable you’d better get her one, too. It’s available in a range of colors, but we like the black or dark sapphire best. It has a drawstring hood, full-zip front, and is made from super soft Modal with just a hint of stretch. Yes, there is also a unicorn pattern — just say “no.”

Of course, Calvin Klein would do its iteration of the onesie in a more streamlined version. It also features a hood and includes handy kangaroo pockets on the front, just like your favorite hoodie. It’s made from a plush french terry fabric for extra soft cuddling. There is a CK logo on the back if that kind of stuff is important to you.

For the ultimate holiday lounging experience, J. Crew does the union suit up in a classic Buffalo Check, also known as the Rob Roy tartan. Cotton jersey knit makes it soft and comfortable, while the fit is a bit more relaxed than a classic union suit. Seems like the perfect thing to wear whilst sipping a fine bourbon.

For more serious conditions, turn up the heat with L.L. Bean’s two-layer version.  It’s the classic union suit silhouette, rendered in a toasty cotton, merino and nylon bend. The two-layer construction creates insulation for maximum warmth and the interior layer is all cotton for maximum comfort against your skin.

2(X)IST features a long, slim fit complemented with a deep, metal-buttoned closure. There’s also a handy locker loop on the back. Though it comes in a dapper black, we like the blue stripe combo for a more playful approach.

If you’re a resident of the Southwest or South and union suits and onesies are a bit too warm for your weather, you can always hang out in these best pairs of underwear. No pants necessary.

Casio brings back its impossibly small ring watch
Second chance: Casio's miniature ring watch returns to American market
Casio Ring Watch CRW001-1

Casio announced the US restock of its Ring Watch CRW001-1 on July 1st, bringing back the small timepiece that sold out quickly after it came out in America in late 2024. The restock follows successful lottery sales in the UK and Japan, showing that people around the world want this digital watch that goes on a finger.
The Ring Watch CRW001-1 shows Casio's bold way of looking at wearable technology—it shrinks standard digital watch functions into a ring that measures only 25.2mm across and weighs 16 grams. Even though it is small, the timepiece keeps necessary features, including support for two time zones, a stopwatch that measures 1/100th of a second, and hourly flash alerts.
Casio US confirmed the July 1st restock on Instagram, saying the watch would only be available through the brand's online store, not in physical shops. Compared to the lottery systems in other places, American customers will buy the watch in the order they arrive—this might cause a lot of competition among people who collect things and those who like technology.
The small digital screen has a backlight so you can see it in different light. The stainless steel build makes it sturdy, even though it is small. The ring fits size 22 fingers (US 10.5, EU U), and you can adjust it down to size 19 (19mm inner diameter) or size 16 (18mm inner diameter).
The engineering needed to put normal digital watch parts into a ring shape shows how well they made it. The 1/100th second stopwatch is as exact as bigger Casio watches. Travelers who want to check the time without others knowing will like the two-time zone feature.
Casio did not say the exact restock time but told interested customers to sign up for email notifications about when it would be ready. That way may help manage the internet traffic while making sure serious buyers learn about buying chances in time.
The Ring Watch's appeal shows more people are interested in other types of wearable devices, not just ones worn on the wrist. Casio's good result with this unusual approach shows that people want new watch designs that question common ideas about what a watch should look like.
The quick sellout after the US launch, along with international lottery systems, suggests that collectors are very interested and that the watch might sell for more later. Casio has not said anything about more restocks in other places after the July 1st US availability, keeping the watch special.
This restock gives American buyers a second chance to get one of the most noticeable wearable technology releases of the year, bringing together Casio's history with digital watches and its push to make things very small.
