Pyjama

Pyjamas (also spelled pajamas) are loose-fitting trousers or bottoms, traditionally made for sleepwear, now often worn as loungewear.

Material

Historically, pyjamas were crafted from silk or cotton. Contemporary pyjamas are made from a wide range of fabrics, including:

• Flannel: A soft, woven fabric, typically made of cotton, offering warmth for colder temperatures.
• Silk: Luxurious and smooth, known for its comfort and temperature regulation.
• Polyester/Microfiber: Durable, wrinkle-resistant, and often more affordable.
• Linen: Lightweight and breathable, suitable for warmer climates.
• Satin: Smooth, shiny, and often used for a more elegant look.
• Blends: Combinations of materials like cotton-polyester blends offer a balance of comfort and durability.
