Kigurumi are cozy, full-body animal or character costumes. Often worn as pajamas or for cosplay, they combine fun, comfort, and whimsy.

Overview

Kigurumi are playful, full-body costumes originating from Japan, often resembling animals or popular characters. They are designed for comfort and fun, typically made from soft, warm fabrics like fleece. Originally intended for casual wear or as pajamas, kigurumi have become popular in cosplay, conventions, and as quirky fashion statements. The term “kigurumi” combines the Japanese words for “kiru” (to wear) and “nuigurumi” (stuffed toy), reflecting their cuddly, costume-like nature. These outfits are beloved for their ability to add a touch of whimsy to everyday life.
