Pirate onesies and t-shritsYou may be at a loss for what to get for your child, or a friend who is expecting a child. However there is no need to get frustrated, as there are a plethora of options. One of the most popular fashion statements in an alternative home these days, is the pirate inspired onesie or t-shirt. While you may not be able to find them readily at a mass market clothing chain, if you are able to find a store that caters to an alternative lifestyle or to take your shopping online; it can be simple to find these truly unique onesies and t-shirts. You may expect to only find things in morose colors such as black or charcoal greys, however I can assure you that there are many colors to choose from; as well as plenty of options in designs.
The most popular accessory or print that can be found on a pirate inspired onesie or t-shirt is a skull and crossbones otherwise known as the “Jolly Roger”. The Jolly Roger is often times used as a symbol that is generally used as a warning of danger (usually in regard to a poisonous substance), or in the days of past it meant pirates. The symbol or a variation there of was featured on a flag that was a design specifically of European and American pirates; however it is thought of a stereotypical pirate flag. Traditionally the crossbones are laid out behind the skull to indicate poison, however if the crossbones lye under the skull (IE: the Jolly Roger) would indicate pirates or piracy. While today the skull and crossbones is still a standard symbol for poison, it is becoming less common outside of an industrial usage. This is due in part to the symbolization of pirates in today’s pop culture. This can actually attract children to hazardous material, so it had become more appropriate for this design to be placed upon clothing that was suited for children; rather than a bottle of pesticide. Another more popular thing seen on a pirate theme top for a child, is a captains hat; along with sassy sayings such as “Pirate booty”, “arrr change my booty” or even some onesies or t-shirts that sport an entire pirate ship sailing in open seas. The popularity of pirates has increased considerably in the last couple of years, which makes it increasingly easy to obtain that adorable captain’s onesie. If you are purchasing a onesie for a friend during her pregnancy months, you may wish to find something that would keep her and her unborn child happy. If you do not yet know the sex of the child, many retailers offer uni-sex onesies or t-shirts that have a pirate flair. When you are putting an outfit together, it is important not to go too overboard with the pirate theme; allowing the onesie or t-shirt to sand on its own or be highlighted by simple accessories.
