The word "playsuit" has a fascinating history. The term is thought to have originated in the 1930s in the United States. At the time, children's clothing was often designed with functionality in mind, featuring multiple layers and garments that could be adjusted or removed as needed. The first recorded use of the term "playsuit" was in a 1935 issue of the Ladies' Home Journal, where it described a single garment that combined the functions of a dress and shorts, allowing for greater freedom of movement. The playsuit quickly gained popularity as a practical and convenient option for active children. By the 1950s, the playsuit had become a staple in many American households, symbolizing a carefree and playful childhood. Today, the term "playsuit" is used broadly to describe a range of infant and children's garments, from onesies to rompers, that prioritize comfort, ease, and playful style.
