Bubble Wrap Suit

Give the Bubble Wrap Suit to the person who never lets packing material reach the recycling bin unpopped. Thumbs Up has turned that habit into a full outfit: matching trousers and a hooded jacket covered in bubbles, ready for a costume party or an especially ridiculous group photo. The hood is a good detail. It carries the bubble theme all the way up instead of leaving you with novelty pants and an ordinary shirt.

The entertainment depends on letting other people pop parts of your outfit, so this calls for a party where you’re comfortable with that attention. For a quieter evening, the joke could get tiresome before the guests do. It also comes in one size intended to fit most, so don’t count on a tailored silhouette.

The cult-classic movie inspiration gives fans another reason to recognize it, but the visual gag needs no explanation. For the friend whose first response to bubble wrap is to start squeezing, there’s a pleasing absurdity in giving them an entire outfit’s worth. Just establish the popping rules before the group photo.
