[O122]One Piece Womens Pajamas

by Mario Churchill, Mar

Please, if you're already a mom and still wearing those pair of pajamas you used to sleep in during your college days, it's high time you took them off and threw them away. If you're a sentimentalist, at least fold them up and keep them hidden in your closet where they will be comfortable with the rest of your memorabilia. If your pajamas look like it got dragged in by the cat, you seriously need to reconsider and get yourself a new pair. Here are some tips you can use when choosing and buying pajamas for women.

Unisex is fine, but…
If there's one advantage women have over men in terms of sleepwear, it's probably because we can pretty much wear anything, even pajamas worn by men. As long as they fit, we can get away with them. There's nothing wrong about wearing men's pajamas, as long as the fit is not too loose, but don't feel obliged to use them too much. There are plenty more you can choose from.

Style and coverage
Pajamas often come in a set consisting of a top and a bottom which often match, or at least complement each other. The more traditional ones are those that are either short sleeved or long sleeved. These offer the most coverage and are a great choice for women who prefer to keep warm and prefer not to show a lot of skin.

For women who do like to show some skin, camisole pajamas are a great choice. These show more personality that the uniform-like regular pajamas and are often made with more luxurious fabric and material such as satin, silk and lace.

If you prefer sleeping in your old t-shirts or tank tops and could care less about pajama tops, choose pajama pants or bottoms. These are sold separately, allowing you to mix and match with anything you want from your wardrobe. You can even pair these pajama pants with some of your best lingerie.

If you like the type of women's pajamas that go from bed to breakfast to living room to garden to everywhere else, choose the old favorite, lounging pants. They are so comfortable that women wear them all day. You might want to have a pair or two of your own so you can wear them on long weekends or on days when you're not working and just feeling absolutely lazy. From sunrise to sunset, lounging pants are a great substitute for women's pajamas.

As for color, there's a wide array of hues and tints to choose from, so choose your favorite or go for the color you never used to wear. You can't do wrong with the more traditional pinstripes or small dots but there are so many prints available that it's almost a sin not to try some of them. Go cutesy or sexy or scary or just plain wacky. They are your pajamas so let your imagination soar.

Fabric
Women's pajamas come in different materials, each of which is suitable for individual taste and preference. Cotton is the most common and a top favorite because it's widely available, very affordable and quite comfortable to wear. It's also the sort of fabric you can 'live' in – the more you wear it, the better it feels – until, of course, it becomes too frayed at the edges.

If you like the smooth, liquid flow of fabric on your skin, choose pajamas made from silk or satin. These are popular materials used in women's pajamas and come in the most luxurious colors, from the deepest reds to the richest turquoise to the shiniest blacks.

We live in stressful times, and entire industries have evolved and grown around the idea that every now and then, we need to wind down. We need to relax. We need to recuperate from the daily chaos that is working and families and chores and housework and pets and commuting and finances and... well, you get the picture.

Where guys might typically turn to video games or a football game on the nearest big screen television to chill out, women tend to gravitate toward more subtle methods of winding down from a stress-filled day. In place of that blaring TV are things like scented candles, a whirlpool bath, a glass of wine and best of all, a set of comfortable pajamas. Nothing says relaxation and comfort like a good set of pajamas.

Of course, while home theatres and video games have been around only for a matter of decades, pajamas have been a fixture on the clothing scene for much longer than that. Just as with Men's Bath Robes, there has been plenty of time to perfect this gear.

Women's pajamas were noted in Western culture as early as the 1600s in Portugal, but the real trigger for adoption was probably the wave of British colonialism in Asia during the 18th and 19th centuries. Indian men and women had been wearing two-piece outfits known as ?Payjamas? (or leg garments) for centuries, and the British began to adapt these garments for their own use. Before too long, the trendy new style was making its way westward.

Pajamas became the name for loose fitting, comfortable, two piece sleeping or lounging outfits and they soon became extremely popular with European men. Pajamas for women eventually became fashionable as well, and in 1920, pajamas suddenly hit the big time. British men and women were wearing pajamas, not only for sleeping, but also as fashion statements. An explosion of fabrics, colors and patterns could be found and there were reports of people even wearing their flashy new pajamas at social events. This pinnacle of pajama popularity lasted for several years before eventually fading away, but by that time, pajamas had become firmly entrenched as a sleepwear and loungewear option, rivaling the popularity of traditional nightgowns.

Women's pajamas have not changed radically since the 1920s, at least in terms of the general concept, but during that time they have evolved. There are many more styles to choose from, for one thing, with the addition of shorts and short-sleeved options and all sorts of mix and match variations. The name ?pajamas? has changed now and then, with ?jammies? and ?PJs? joining the list of common alternatives. The variety of fabrics and weaves now used to make pajamas can be mind-boggling: traditional cottons and flannels, satin, silk, velour and synthetic materials such as polyester and fleece. Shoppers have far more to choose from now than they ever did.

History can be very circular, especially where fashion is involved. Once again, pajamas are becoming popular as lounge wear and are being seen worn by women outside of their homes. Maybe not at parties or nightclubs (like the 1920s), but PJs wearers have been spotted in grocery stores and malls. It's hard to blame people when pajamas have become such a symbol of relaxation and are available in such a variety of choices.
