Due to the abundance of colours and styles, it is often difficult for the modern girl to decide which pyjamas to wear. In this case it should be remembered that pajamas can be used not only for sleeping, but also as home clothes, which you want to put on after a long hard day. We will help you to understand what pajamas to choose and how not to regret the purchase — in this article.

How to choose pyjamas?

Sleepwear is conveniently chosen according to two criteria: practical and aesthetic. Practical:

  1. First of all, pay attention to the material from which the pyjamas are made. For everyday wear suit knitted sets — they are ideal not only for comfortable sleep, but also for use as everyday clothes. In the colder seasons, fleece or velour pajamas will be a real salvation. Pajamas made of wool and acrylic, too, are good at retaining heat, but because of their texture can cause discomfort and cause allergies.
  2. It is better to choose pyjamas exclusively for sleeping without fasteners, buttons and zips.
  3. When examining pyjamas in a shop check the seams. They have to be soft, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable when wearing them. Pay attention to the seams, when choosing the pajamas silk — they must be properly processed, so the silk is not spread.
  4. Pajamas should not restrict movement during sleep. Buy a nightwear one or two sizes larger. If you already feel discomfort when trying them on, feel free to decline the purchase.

Aesthetic:

  1. Your pyjamas can be not only practical and cosy, but also erotic. Opt for viscose, silk or satin models. Mini-shorts and top with lace inserts to emphasize the advantages of shape, but to sleep in these pajamas will not be very comfortable.
  2. Without unnecessary modesty determine your complexion. Obese women with high growth suit the classic pajamas with vertical stripes. Slim — a huge selection of pajamas from kits with shorts and T-shirt to luxurious pajamas made of silk.
  3. It’s not always practical to match your pajama bottoms or the colour of your hair. We listen to psychologists’ advice on the effect of colour on mood. Blue, green and pink have a calming effect. In addition, pink is a mood setting, the colour of love and sensuality. Black is not always negative, but use it carefully depending on your mood. If you’re really tired and the day has been full of unpleasantness, black pyjamas will only make things worse. As psychologists tell us, classic white pyjamas can give you a sense of freedom and tranquillity.

There is another unusual style of pyjamas, which came from Japan and very quickly caught on in Russia — kigurumi. It is sewn from bright soft fabrics in the form of animals from cartoons. These pajamas are suitable not only for little girls — cheerful cheerful girls will look in it no less cute. In addition, kigurumi are very comfortable — they are loved for their loose fit, deep hood and decor, repeating the characteristics of animals: tail, ears, fur or feathers. The kigurumi would make a great gift both as pyjamas and as a home costume instead of a traditional dressing gown.

But it’s not just style that’s crucial to your choice. In the wrong size pyjamas it will be difficult to sleep.
