It has been confirmed: As-Seen-On-TV favourite Snuggie (basically a backwards, flannel housecoat) will be flouncing down the runways at New York Fashion Week this September.
The Snuggie collection will, keeping up with the trends, showcase the comfortable blanket-wear in a variety of different colors. We will also be seeing the Snuggie in an array of never before seen fabrics and possibly even a change in the standard construction of the product... Very exciting.
With the blanket-wear becoming fashionable, I’m sure there will be something for everyone from the Snuggie collection. If they happen to unveil a zebra print Snuggie, I think my life will be complete.
