Generally, when a man puts on his pajamas, he experiences a kind of general relaxation that invades his entire being. It's something similar to being in off-duty mode, relax mode.
The Pajamas and Their Origin
Without a doubt, pajamas are one of the most worn garments in the world, without distinctions of race, culture or religion. It is a dress that is worn daily, and it is not only used for sleeping, but often to be at home to feel more comfortable and relaxed.
The word Pijama has its origin in a Persian and Hindi word paejama, which encompasses a set of meanings that could be reduced to the habit of preserving personal hygiene, health of the place where you sleep or rest (bed), and is also related to the feeling of comfort to the body during rest.
On the other hand, it has also been recorded that at the time of the extinct Ottoman Empire (current Turkey) this garment already existed and fulfilled a very particular role. It is said that it was used to “warm” the legs at a time when, in fact, there were no effective solutions to control the low temperatures of the cold seasons of the year. Within that culture its name literally meant, “leg clothing.”
By the middle of the 17th century, women and men, to avoid sleeping naked, used long nightgowns as sleeping clothes that were buttoned up to the feet along the entire front. They were made of velvet or wool. At the same time, during that time, the rise of maritime travel between East and West began, which could be considered the first tourist trips. On these trips, and as on all trips, cultural exchanges began to be seen; It is in this way that pants imported from Persia began to become popular, which turned out to be the first pyjamas in the West.
Initially, these garments were quite loose in order to allow full freedom of movement when sleeping. They were made of soft and fresh fabrics to ensure safe breathability and at the same time obtain comfort. Three centuries later, when England had the territory of India as a colony, it adopted and adapted this garment used for sleeping to its English style. Adding details and decoration oriented towards luxury.
It is at this moment, when this garment is defined by gender: men's and women's garments. It was a garment with so much renown and prestige that it became only suitable for people with high social positions, despite its origins as accessible textile pieces and popular use in all social classes, among other things, due to its simplicity. and primitive design.

According to the latest surveys, men do not wear pajamas as often as expected; it is a matter of custom and culture, often family.

Instead, what is indisputable is that its use must be encouraged as an entire modern culture. Because it provides convenience, hygiene and comfort. The super comfortable feeling of cotton fabrics on the skin not only helps relieve the worries of the day, but these pieces also help shape and stylize our figures. It is a fact, from time to time we want to look good without having to provide our best clothing combinations.
