If we start talking about culture and sleep hygiene, then, in addition to such important points as choosing a room for the bedroom, its furnishings, which bed to sleep on and what type of bed, the choice of clothes for sleeping is of no small importance. It’s hard to imagine, but until the 15th century people did not know nightgowns. They slept in what they wore during the day. The first negligees that appeared were used only by noble ladies, because these toiletries were expensive and not accessible to everyone. It was only by the 19th century that sleepwear became quite diverse and popular among all segments of the population. People began to sleep in pajamas or long nightgowns, and put a cap on their heads. Why was he needed, I wonder? It turns out that your head doesn’t freeze! There was no heating in the houses. Nowadays it’s easier, so we don’t wear caps anymore, but pajamas and nightgowns are still in use. Clothing for home and sleep is presented in abundance on store shelves.
Let's try to figure out whether we need such clothes? What is it like? Are warm pajamas necessary for children and adults or is it unnecessary? How to choose pajamas?
What types of sleepwear are there?
Candid translucent or satin night dresses, decorated with lace or embroidery, are very beautiful to look at. The presence of such things in a woman’s wardrobe is completely justified and, in some ways, necessary. But this is by no means clothes for sleeping and relaxing.
In our article we will talk about completely different things: practical, comfortable, functional - those that are needed specifically for a good rest, and not for emphasizing one’s own attractiveness.
In fact, such clothes are divided into only two types. These are nightgowns and pajamas. There are few options for men's pajamas. Most often they look like trousers made of jersey or other fabric and a shirt (or T-shirt). Women's sleepwear is more widely available. This is easily explained: ladies are traditionally more demanding in choosing outfits and pay much more attention to it than the stronger sex. Women's sleepwear includes shirts of different lengths and cuts, all kinds of suits, and “lightweight” options such as “shorts and a T-shirt.” There are even overalls.
There are models for the hot season, made from thin fabrics, and thicker products for winter.
Pajamas or nightgown – which is better?
Fans of nightgowns are quite few in number compared to those who like to sleep in pajamas. Usually these are representatives of the older generation. The whole point here is that our grandmothers, and even some mothers, were taught to use nightgowns by their parents from childhood as the most affordable option. As for modern youth, they have a much wider choice, and there are no persistent stereotypes regarding the choice of nightwear. Therefore, the answer to the question of what clothes to sleep in is not so clear for them.
Nightgowns look very cute and are in some demand, but sleeping in them is not very comfortable. Adults don't toss and turn as much in their sleep as children, but even minimal movement during sleep can cause a twisted nightgown to ride up and cut into the body. This explains why most people prefer pajamas.
When deciding which pajamas to choose, you need to decide what time of year you need them for. For summer, sets of T-shirts and shorts or trousers made from thin “summer” fabrics described above are suitable. For winter, you need “more serious” pajamas, made of warm, dense fabrics, so as not to freeze when crawling out from under the blanket. Usually these are suits in the form of trousers and a shirt.
Is it possible to sleep without clothes?
The advisability of “dressing for the night” has been debated for decades. And British scientists, studying this issue from a scientific point of view, came to the conclusion that sleeping without clothes is better for health.
They give the following theory. During sleep, the body must get rid of cortisol, a stress hormone that is produced during the day under the influence of stress and nervous experiences. A clothed person does not achieve the level of relaxation required for this in a dream. The body “does not understand” that all dangers have passed and you can relax, so the background level of tension remains. A constant excess of cortisol is perceived by the body as life in constant danger, in readiness for defense, in tension. This contributes to the appearance of sleep disorders, heart disorders, and diseases of the nervous system.
In addition, experts welcome tactile contact during sleep if two people sleep in the same bed. It is believed that touch not only strengthens relationships, but also causes an increase in the amount of oxytocin in the blood - the hormone of love, which also helps relieve internal tension and promote restful sleep.
It is worth making a reservation: all this is not the ultimate truth. If you like to sleep in tightly buttoned pajamas, this does not mean that you will soon end up in the hospital with severe neurosis or have a huge quarrel with your other half.
The British prefer to sleep naked: it is their choice and even a cultural tradition, judging by the prevalence of the “habit” of sleeping without clothes among representatives of this nation. In the US, most people prefer pajamas. Our habits are different, and each person may have their own preferences. Sleep the way you want!
Unfortunately, even if a person likes to sleep naked, in our harsh realities, sleepwear is often a necessity. For example, if you live with a large family in a small apartment, the presence of pajamas is dictated by the rules of decency. In addition, most regions are quite cool for most of the year, so sleeping comfortably without clothes will not always be possible. And many people are simply accustomed to sleeping in pajamas. It’s more convenient for them, no matter what.
How to choose sleepwear
If you need sleepwear, we will try to determine the details. What to choose and how?
Material. Clothes for home and sleep are made from many different fabrics, often synthetic. Synthetics can be good, but the market is simply flooded with products made from cheap, low-quality fabrics. Their shortcomings are numerous. The smallest of them is the dye that remains on the skin when moisture comes into contact with the fabric. It is also possible to have an allergy to the material itself or to its low-quality dye.
No matter how attractive such synthetics may look, it is better to avoid such clothes. Its price is low, and its appearance is eye-catching, but, as they say, not all that glitters is gold.
A common disadvantage of all synthetic fabrics is poor hygroscopicity. Synthetic products do not absorb moisture well, which makes them uncomfortable to sleep in, especially in summer. It is better to give preference to products made from natural fabrics.
Models made of cotton (chintz, fine knitwear, satin), linen or natural silk, which pleasantly cools the skin, are perfect for summer. The winter option is pajamas made of warm flannel or flannel. For especially heat-loving people, cozy models have been created from dense brushed knitwear. Nightgowns are also warm, with long sleeves, especially for winter.
Size. The size of your sleepwear plays a big role. There is no need to flatter yourself by buying something a size smaller. This is fraught with unpleasant consequences: you simply will not be able to sleep due to the fact that you will be uncomfortable in tight pajamas or a shirt. They should be a little loose. The main criterion is comfort. Many people choose an old stretched T-shirt as sleepwear and feel great. And if this T-shirt was also worn by a loved one, then this fact also “warms the soul,” contributing to a feeling of comfort and security.
Color. When choosing a night outfit for yourself, you should not chase brightness, although the most creative models always catch your eye. The brightness of the colors can irritate you, preventing you from falling asleep. What seems attractive during the day is not always appropriate in the evening when it's time to go to bed. Too dark shades have a depressing effect, evoking gloomy thoughts. It is better to choose pajamas in light pastel colors - light shades of pink, blue, lilac, beige. These colors promote peace. The exception is men's pajamas. For men, both light-colored products and sets of darker, “masculine” shades - blue, brown, gray with or without an unobtrusive pattern are suitable. Pajamas for children can be a little brighter (children like them), but you should still avoid the most flashy shades.
Baby sleepwear
If in the case of adults it is quite acceptable to sleep without clothes, then for a child pajamas are very important. It’s rare that a child sleeps peacefully all night, covered with a blanket. More often it happens that the mother puts the baby to bed as expected, carefully tucking in the blanket, and in the morning it turns out that “the tail is on the pillow, the ears are on the sheet” (as in the poem about a kitten). Good, warm pajamas are better than the best blanket - they will protect against hypothermia. This way, the mother will be calm that the baby will not freeze, even if (that is, for sure) he opens up.
What you shouldn't buy
In the case of children's pajamas, of course, we are not talking about models made of satin and silk. You only need natural, soft fabrics - cotton, satin, flannel or flannel. Don't buy models that have a lot of clasps or decorations. Only soft, natural, hygroscopic and breathable fabric should come into contact with the child’s body. Lace can decorate the product in places where it will not touch the baby's skin. The same applies to all kinds of appliqués and embroideries. Also, you should not buy a long nightgown for a girl. No matter how touching the little princess looks in a shirt to her toes, you must keep in mind that she will be uncomfortable sleeping in such an outfit. The baby may simply get confused in the hem of her long, beautiful shirt.
Choosing pajamas by size
In size, pajamas for children should fit or be slightly larger. Pajamas that are too big are also not good - they will slide down and twist when the child wants to turn over in his sleep. Too small will compress the body and prevent the child from turning in his sleep.
What types of children's nightwear are there?
For newborn and baby early age he doesn’t need pajamas, he will need diapers, a pair of romper-vests or a slip (onesie for sleeping). Its cut does not provide any fasteners, except for a few buttons at the bottom, so that you can change the diaper without undressing the child.
For older children, it is better to choose pajamas made in the form of suits of trousers and a shirt or T-shirt. Every child should have several different sleep sets in their wardrobe. Warm pajamas for children will come in handy during the cold season, and lighter models will be useful on cool summer nights.
Or a T-shirt (top) and trousers, shorts or capris, depending on the time of year and the air temperature in the apartment. These pajamas are very soft and comfortable; many models are suitable not only for sleeping, but also for use as cozy everyday home wear.
For the cold season, it is useful from terry or velor. Such sets, as a rule, consist of trousers and a jacket (znake or), so they are very convenient to use as home wear. If you choose warm pajamas solely for sleeping, then it is better to give preference to models that do not have buttons or snakes - you will sleep much more comfortably in such clothes. Pajamas made of acrylic and wool also have excellent warming properties, but sleeping in them is not very comfortable - they can “bite” and even cause allergic reactions.
Pajamas can be not only comfortable, practical and cozy, but also sexy! If you are looking for just such an option, then pay attention to revealing sets consisting of mini shorts and a top, made of silk, satin or viscose. Models with lace inserts look especially elegant and sophisticated. It is not as comfortable to sleep in such an outfit as in cotton ones, but such pajamas will perfectly highlight your figure and make you even more attractive and desirable. Just don’t rush to buy cheap kits that look good, but feel “glassy” and hard to the touch. Even if you plan to wear such pajamas from time to time, let them be made of high-quality and pleasant material.
As for colors, there are no restrictions. Pajamas do not have to be in soothing pastel colors; you can choose any, the brightest colors and patterns. Animal and floral prints are very popular, but remember that both the style and color scheme of pajamas should match the characteristics of your figure. If you, for example, want to visually hide excess weight, then give preference to darker models (this does not mean dull and inexpressive). Pajama sets, designed in the same color scheme as the bed linen, look very original and stylish. And it’s best if you buy several pajamas of different styles and colors, suitable for all occasions.

Silk pajamas are the true embodiment of luxury and comfort. Natural silk fibers provide coolness in summer and pleasant warmth in winter, and their touch on the skin is very pleasant. Choose from stylish, cutting-edge pajamas, country-inspired styles, or Asian-inspired ethnic wear.
Instructions
Look for good pajamas in a specialized lingerie store. The price level depends on the prestige of the brand. You can choose a whole sleeping set, designed in the same style and consisting of pajamas, a robe, slippers and even a sleep mask. Many boutiques offer to create your own pajama pair. This is especially convenient with a non-standard figure - for example, with a large bust and narrow hips. In addition, you can decide for yourself what is more suitable for the chosen pajama pants - a frivolous T-shirt or a solid jacket with a collar and belt.
Choose the appropriate style. For summer, a set of a top and wide French panties is suitable. In winter, you will be more comfortable in a classic two-piece pajama set, consisting of long trousers and a jacket with sleeves, a placket fastening and a turn-down collar. Some models with wide pants and a long jacket with a belt can be worn as loungewear - such pajamas look very elegant. No less beautiful are the spacious robes in the Asian spirit, made of bright printed silk.
Try on your chosen model. Do not buy something that is too small for you - nightwear should be comfortable. Button up your pajama jacket, raise your arms, sit down. Evaluate the quality of the fabric. Cheap synthetic satin has nothing in common with natural silk. The only disadvantage of natural fabric is the high price. But you can find a compromise option - pajamas made of semi-silk fabric with the addition of cotton or viscose.
Carefully inspect the pajamas. The collar, sides and cuffs of the jacket should be trimmed with piping. This treatment helps maintain the shape of the parts. All cuts and pockets must have fastenings - this guarantees that the fabric will not come apart when tensioned. The hems of the jacket must be doubled with a thin lining - this protects the fabric from tearing. Check for buttons, soft seams, and a drawstring waistband that allows you to adjust the fit of your trousers.
Take a look at the label indicating how to care for the item. If the manufacturer recommends dry cleaning only, consider whether you can comply with this recommendation. More practical are models that can be washed in. Do this by hand, using a mild shampoo or a special silk detergent. Silk fabric cannot be soaked and wrung out in a centrifuge; bleach and treatment with a hot iron and steamer are also not recommended for it.
Healthy sleep depends on many factors. One of them is comfortable pajamas. Today it is a favorite garment for both children, men and women. It does not restrict movement and is often used not only for sleeping, but also for wearing at home and as an outfit for themed parties. How to choose pajamas? Let's try to figure this out.
Season. The first point you should pay attention to when choosing is the season. There are trouser and short sets. The first include long-sleeve sweaters (with buttons, zippers or without them at all) and pants. To create them, dense materials are used, which ensures comfortable wearing in winter and late autumn. For warmer times of the year, the second type of set with T-shirts (or tank tops) and shorts (capri pants) is suitable. As a rule, they are made of lightweight materials.
Textile. The determining criteria influencing the choice of pajamas are softness and comfort. Cotton pajamas are the most popular. They can be thin and brushed. These are natural kits that provide good air exchange. However, you should not avoid a small percentage of adding synthetics (up to 10%). Since it provides fabric elasticity and less wear. However, worthy competitors in popularity are sets made of velor, fleece and terry. They are designed for the winter period and are suitable not only for sleeping, but also for everyday wear at home. But products made from acrylic and wool are best avoided. They provide great warmth, but often cause allergies.
Size. Pajamas should not restrict movement during sleep, and therefore you should not choose tight models. When purchasing, consult a sales consultant. He will guide you according to the size scale. Since some kits do not always correspond to the designations on the labels.
Features of care. When choosing pajamas, pay attention not only to the size, but also to how to wash and care for the product. Cotton sets are less whimsical. They are equally suitable for manual and automatic washing and for almost any water temperature. Other materials are best washed by hand. Don’t forget about the quality of detergents, which are also divided by type of fabric. So, for colored sets, soft powders are suitable, and for plain white and milky ones, you can use products with bleaches. Also pay attention to the symbols for drying and ironing products. So cotton sets cannot withstand machine drying, and when ironing they require an iron with a steamer.
Appearance. Another important factor is the beauty and fit of the pajamas. Children's sets are often decorated with appliqués and lace inserts. Men's pajamas attract with unusual prints and patterns. Pajamas with stripes, polka dots and checks are universal for all genders and ages. The choice here depends directly on the individual tastes and preferences of the buyer.
A modern woman strives to be beautiful and fashionable always and everywhere, and home clothes intended for sleep, such as women's pajamas, are no exception. Any representative of the fairer sex wants to look impressive, beautiful and at the same time feel comfort and coziness even while sleeping. Therefore, modern fashion designers devote no less time to the design of pajamas than to the design of sewing any other clothing. Fashion trends in sleepwear also change seasonally.
Every self-respecting girl follows fashion trends and nothing harms a fashionista’s reputation more than random things in her wardrobe. And just one, but old and ugly pajamas can ruin the image of any girl. Each season has its own pajamas and it doesn’t matter which one you prefer, long or short, insulated or silk, simple or intricate, the main thing is that it is stylish.
Long pajamas
Long women's pajamas are necessary in every wardrobe, even if your room is warm and you have not experienced a heating outage. This model of pajamas speaks of the sophistication and style of its owner. Modern designers value long pajamas as a sign of elegance and recent developments have made pajamas more like an elegant pantsuit. In such luxurious pajamas you will have a pleasant time not only at night, but also to sit in front of the TV and even go to a pajama party.
Material and colors
Designers prefer silk as a material for such pajamas, and the choice of color is yours. Do you want peace and comfort in your night look? Then pastel colors are preferable: soft pink, mint, violet, lavender and as a result you will get sophistication, sophistication, and tenderness in your night look. If you want to look bold and sexy, then you need to buy pajamas in black, blue or purple flowers. Do you lack passion or do you need your partner to light up at the sight of your night look? Then choose any shades of red - the color of passion, and unforgettable nights are guaranteed.
Long pajamas with a properly selected top and pants perfectly adjust and at the same time emphasize the figure. If you do not have an ideal figure, then it is better to choose pajamas from flowing soft fabrics, avoiding cuffs and interceptions at the waist.
Short pajamas
Short pajamas for women are the rage of youth fashion, gaining momentum in popularity every year. The bottom part can be shorts, panties, or capris, and the top can be in the form of a T-shirt, T-shirt, or with long sleeves. Short models look impressive on slender girls with straight legs.
Most often, such models are found in knitted design and made from natural materials. It is best to buy women's pajamas made from high-quality knitwear, which will not stretch over time and will not lose the brightness of its colors. Both appearance and personal comfort depend on the correct choice of material, which is actually why people buy pajamas.
Which material should I choose?
As a summer option, short women's pajamas made of silk are suitable. This material can turn even a simple cut model into a luxurious evening outfit. If you can’t afford silk, then cotton with a satin weave is a suitable substitute. Women's pajamas made from this material look just as impressive, expensive and noble. The hit of the season at the moment are short pajamas made from knitwear, which is based on cotton. This material is created with the addition of elastin, which allows the product to fit perfectly on the figure, be flexible and create comfort during sleep.
Which style is preferable?
The advantage of short pajamas is that they come in a wide variety of styles: from romantic to sporty and even “childish”. If you add to the look decoration in the form of all kinds of ruffles, flounces, inserts, lace, then you will get a boudoir style that looks impressive and seductive in the bedroom. Young girls often prefer a “childish” style, which gives their image a little mischief, naivety and lightness, which the opposite sex likes so much. It's nice to plunge into childhood by wearing pajamas with images of cartoon characters, butterflies or your favorite flowers. Cotton products allow designers to experiment with color, creating bright, rich colors that enhance the mood of its owner. Waking up in the morning, for example, in pajamas the color of fresh greenery or bright sunshine, the owner automatically receives the necessary boost of energy for the whole day.
How to make an image sexy
If you want to look appetizing and sexy, then this can be achieved by choosing the right color, texture and style of women's pajamas. A properly open neck, a clearly defined neckline, and intriguing trim make the wearer of the pajamas desirable and sexy.
Texture also plays an important role. It should be tender, smooth, pleasant to the touch, so that you want to touch it all the time. To achieve this look, natural silk remains unrivaled, but cotton fabrics with satin trim are in no way inferior to it.
How to choose the right color
Another important point is color selection. Of course, when choosing a color, you need to take into account hair color, eye color, and your inner world. It is very important how you see yourself: either soft and gentle, then pastel colors will suit you, or passionate and a little aggressive, and the red color will emphasize this. If you love experiments and intrigue, then women's pajamas in black or dark blue can highlight this.
How to choose a style
When choosing a style, remember that the more frank, feminine and seductive it is, the more you will gain in your image. It is important to remember that long pants are inferior to short capris or shorts, and a top with long sleeves is significantly inferior to straps. Forget about what you wear in everyday life, try to realize all your wildest fantasies in choosing pajamas.
It’s better if you have several of them in different styles in your wardrobe, allowing you to change your image and please not only your man, but also increasing your self-esteem, creating the image of a desirable woman. Feel comfortable, stylish, cozy and sexy in your home environment!
One of the important factors for a peaceful and comfortable sleep is the material of your pajamas or nightgown. The more comfortable a person feels in it, the stronger his sleep.
List of materials used to make the best pajamas
Cotton
Shirts made from fine cotton for the hot summer months, cozy pajamas made from knitted cotton fabric for the cold season, comfortable shirts and pajamas made from flannel - practical and pleasant clothing. In summer, a cambric or cotton shirt will help prevent the body from overheating. In winter, warm knitwear will keep you warm and help create a cozy sleeping atmosphere. Washing such things is not a problem. They are strong and durable.
Good things always last a long time. In particular, Komsomol knitwear from the Poltava region. You can view the range of products by following the link.
Silk
This material is soft and highly breathable. You could say it's a magical thermostat. However, it does have some negative sides. The smooth, flowing fabric creates a cool feeling in summer and an unpleasant cold sensation in winter. Silk does not like a humid environment very much. The tissue tends to become weaker. Therefore, for people who sweat a lot in their sleep, silk shirts and pajamas may not last long. In addition, products made from natural silk require delicate washing and drying.
Cashmere wool
It is soft and silky, warm fabric. It can be very elastic and will be comfortable to sleep in. It allows air and body evaporation to pass through well. However, you will have to wash it by hand.
Bamboo
This material is soft and silky. soft and silky on the skin. Well supported
thermoregulation of the skin. In addition, it is a hypoallergenic fabric and may have antibacterial properties, which are beneficial for people with allergies.
Viscose
This is an artificial (not synthetic!) fabric made from recycled wood pulp. Super cooling material for summer shirts and pajamas.
What fabrics to avoid
With all its excellent breathability and sweat absorption properties, linen pajamas may seem harsh and not very comfortable for sleeping because of this drawback.
Fleece
This fabric retains heat perfectly. However, during nighttime sleep it can contribute to overheating because fleece does not allow air to circulate. It can also irritate the skin, causing itching that will keep you awake throughout the night.
Summer is over, autumn days and evenings are ahead with a mug of tea and rain outside the window. Don't be sad, because the cold weather is a great reason to pamper yourself and your loved ones with cozy pajamas. Modern pajamas are beautiful and comfortable, and the variety of fabrics, styles, colors and their combinations is worth talking about separately.
Styles and types of pajamas
- Winter pajamas warm and come in two types: pants complete with a shirt and overalls. It's a matter of taste and the choice is yours. However, it is worth noting that it is more comfortable to sleep in overalls, because the elastic bands do not dig into the body, and the shirt does not ride up. In overalls you can feel like the proverbial baby who sleeps sweetly.
Pants and a shirt can be used as comfortable home clothes. Shirts come in buttons, press studs and zippers. Sometimes the top is a long sleeve T-shirt. Winter types of pajamas are often sewn with hoods. It happens that pajamas are sold complete with cozy, warm Czech slippers made of the same fabric as the pajamas.
- Summer pajamas consist of shorts, breeches and T-shirts. Separately, it is worth mentioning women's chemises and nightgowns, which are often sold complete with a seductive peignoir or robe. Take a look at our catalog of women's home clothes, where you can take a closer look and choose a nightgown: http://www.aport.ru/domashnjaja_odezhda_zhenskaja/cat5771.
What pajama material will be comfortable in the warm season?
The choice of fabric depends on the time of year you plan to wear your pajamas and personal preference. Thus, silk, knitted and viscose fabrics are more often used in summer and demi-season sets.
When buying knitted pajamas, pay attention to their quality, as products made from cheap materials quickly lose their attractive appearance. You don't want your new item to stretch out after a couple of washes, and bubbles on the knees of your pants don't add any appeal. Therefore, you should not skimp on the quality of the product.
When purchasing silk and satin pajamas, carefully study the composition of the fabric. Sometimes pajamas and shirts made of polyester, which are cold in winter and hot in summer, are passed off as expensive fabrics. High-quality silk pajamas contain at least 95% silk (the remaining percentage is usually elastane).
Which pajama material will keep you warm in cold weather?
Winter pajamas are made from warm fabrics: terry, plush, flannel and flannel. All these fabrics are fluffy and pleasant to the touch.
The terry fabric consists of natural cotton and has light massage properties, thanks to small loose loops. In pajamas made of terry fabric you will be comfortable: warm, and at the same time not stuffy, since the loops and loose base of the terry give the fabric a “breathable” effect. Therefore, such pajamas are preferred by allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin.
If you have your eye on flannel pajamas, remember that such a product wears out quite quickly. Unfortunately, after several washes, the pleasant fluffiness turns into pellets.
Plush winter pajamas are very attractive thanks to the high pile (about 5 mm). The base of plush is always cotton, but the pile may differ in composition (it can be made of cotton, wool and silk). Thanks to the high pile, plush pajamas are voluminous, soft and will keep you wonderfully warm in the cold.
Choosing the color of pajamas
Clothes that harmonize with the color of your eyes and hair always suit your appearance. However, it is a good idea to listen to the advice of psychologists about the influence of color on mood.
White is a classic lingerie color. It is associated with purity, purity and perfection. Psychologists also believe that white color gives a feeling of freedom.
Black color gives a feeling of completion, so it symbolizes relaxation. It all depends on your mood: if it is good, black color instills calm. However, if you are in a bad mood, you are very tired or something has happened, black will only intensify negative emotions.
The color red is considered both aggressive and sexy. When looking at the color red, adrenaline and body temperature rise. Therefore, lingerie and seductive women's pajamas in red with short shorts and T-shirts are often found.
Pink color makes you feel romantic. It means sensitivity, kindness and love. This is why pink is considered a classic feminine color. This delicate color gives peace and comfort.
Green suppresses negative emotions and has a calming effect. Blue color also has a calming effect and helps with nervous tension.
Yellow and orange are considered the colors of joy, cheerfulness and energy. These are the colors of positivity, fun and good mood.
Everyone probably has their own favorite color, but it is worth remembering that pajamas are clothing for sleep and relaxation, so they should not be too bright, but on the contrary, set a calm mood and promote relaxation.
Pajamas come in plain colors and with patterns. So, those who prefer the classics can choose a fabric design in the form of a cage or stripes. And the playful, creative and childish ones can safely look for pajamas with owls, foxes, and other animals. These fun pajamas often feature hoods with ears, ponytails, and other mood-enhancing trims.
Men's and women's pajamas: sizes
When buying pajamas, it is important to determine your size correctly. It’s good if you buy something in a store and have the opportunity to try it on. What if you decide to order clothes online? To begin with, you should remember that pajamas and a shirt should not be tight and hinder movement. Remember, you should feel free and comfortable in clothes for sleeping and relaxing. Therefore, it is worth purchasing a product one size larger, but not vice versa. Below is the standard size grid. However, please note that each manufacturer posts its own sizing charts on the website, and they may vary.
When choosing pajamas and shirts, every woman wants to emphasize her attractiveness. To do this, you should take into account the characteristics of your figure. Women's pajama styles differ from men's in their frankness and sexuality.
Overweight women are advised to choose loose-fitting pajamas that do not hug their figure. It’s a good idea to listen to the advice of stylists that things with vertical stripes make you look slim, while large designs with flowers and ornaments, on the contrary, will visually add a couple of extra pounds.
When choosing the style of pajamas, you should take into account the time of year and the temperature in the house. Ideally, it’s a good idea to have several sets of pajamas in rotation: a couple of summer ones and a couple of winter ones.
Hygienists recommend paying attention to the fact that the inside of trousers and shorts, in contact with intimate parts, is made of natural cotton. Otherwise, skin irritation and inflammation may occur. Doctors also advise clearly separating pajamas: a set for sleeping must be replaced by a set for relaxation.
Young men and boys prefer to wear comfortable T-shirts, T-shirts, shorts, breeches and cuffed pants at home. Older men who want to look elegant at home often choose sets consisting of pants and shirts. Such clothes are comfortable: spacious trousers with elastic do not restrict movement, and button-down shirts look elegant.
Men's pajamas are made from the same fabrics as women's: knitwear, satin, silk and velor. It's a matter of taste and personal preference. However, the leading fabric for men's pajamas is cotton and knitwear with a brush on the inside side adjacent to the body.
Recently, interesting sets have appeared: women's and men's pajamas, made of the same fabric and colors. This set would be an excellent gift for newlyweds, or for each other on their anniversary, wedding or Valentine's Day.
Caring for pajamas depends on the type of fabric from which they are made. When planning to wash the product, carefully read the internal care label. It indicates the temperature of the washing water and whether the item can be ironed. It is recommended to wash pajamas for adults with the same powder that you usually use. Pajamas can be washed in the washing machine along with the rest of your underwear, at least twice a week.
Separately, it is worth mentioning pajamas and shirts made of natural silk. Silk is a delicate fabric, so washing items made from this fabric should be done by hand and carefully. Wash silk items in warm soapy water and rinse with cool water and vinegar. This procedure helps preserve the color and shine of silk.
Remember, proper care of shirts and pajamas guarantees the preservation of the product’s presentation for more than one year.
Choosing pajamas is not as simple as it seems at first glance. We hope that the information presented did not leave the question: how and what kind of pajamas to choose. Modern manufacturers of home clothing present a wide range of shirts and pajamas to suit all tastes and financial capabilities. You can verify this by checking out the new products for 2015 in online stores and special manufacturers’ websites. Where to buy pajamas? The choice is yours: you can visit special departments for home clothes, or you can shop online.
