What's better than an Aran sweater? An Aran knit adult onesie that covers your entire body!
We found it: the ultimate winter outfit to brave the snow, Storm Emma, the Beast from the East, an epic lounge session on your couch, whatever life may throw at you.
There's nothing cozier or warmer than an Irish Aran sweater (provided they're not the itchy kind, of course!), and this adult onesie takes things to the next level, making it possible to cover yourself from head to toe in warm knitwear.

With thoughtfully places buttons and flaps, there's practically no reason why you'd ever have to take it off!
Traditional Aran Fisherman Sweaters, which take their name from the three Aran Islands of Inishmore, Inishmaan, and Inisheer, are handmade made purely from wool in a variety of stitch patterns, behind each of which lies a story or symbol.
For example, the common Cable Stitch depicts fishermen's ropes and represents good weather at sea. The Diamond Stitch symbolizes the small, neat fields of the Aran Islands, the Irish Moss Stitch symbolizes growth and abundance, and various other stitches represent stories of religion or elements of nature.
While this Aran sweater onesie is less traditional in nature, it's yet another great example of how tradition is adaptable to contemporary trends. Back in 2015, Irish-born fashion designer Don O'Neill of THEIA made an Aran sweater wedding dress for his winter bridal line that went viral.
