For fans of the Snuggie comes a fancier way to wear a fleece blanket. The Snuggie Up Tuxedo functions exactly like the original -- that is to say, it's a blanket with sleeves -- but instead of the characteristic blue hue, the comfy garment is designed to look like a tuxedo. Similar to suit-printed t-shirts, the super soft fleece blanket only looks like you're going to a fancy dress party, and not going to lounge on your couch.

The wearable fleece blanket even has a waist tie and cuffed sleeves in addition to oversized pockets. The machine washable item comes is a one size fits all specifically for adults. It also has a red cape-like detail.
