Although it seems that such a type of nightwear as pajamas has been used by humanity for a long time, in fact they began to appear in Europe around the end of the 19th century. This home outfit came to us along the same route as the numbers, only without intermediaries in the form of the Arabs. In the sense that their homeland was India, from which pajamas came directly to European countries.
Before the advent of pajamas, people at least in the West used nightgowns. They appeared around the 16th century, and before that, people slept naked, in various kinds of underwear or in the same ones they worked in. Which, of course, did not contribute to good sanitation. The nightgowns of that time were long and covered their legs to the ankles or knees, depending on the style. They were usually made of cotton fabrics. The reign of nightgowns lasted almost four centuries, until they were replaced by pajamas.
It is interesting that in India, and in general in the countries of Southeast Asia, they were clothes not only or even not so much for sleeping, but also for the street. In general, the word "pajamas" comes from the corresponding word in the Persian language, which means light pants, something like harem pants. Having already reached the West, pajamas were initially part of a purely male wardrobe. And only in the 20s of the 20th century, thanks to the efforts of the legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel, who enriched the women's wardrobe with men's things, women gradually began to wear pajamas. And the new state of affairs took hold and reached a different level after the 1934 film "It Happened One Night", in which the main character flaunted herself in beautiful pajamas. Many women began to imitate and spend the night in such clothes.
How to choose pajamas as a gift?
The most important thing when you plan to buy pajamas as a gift is to think again about who they are intended for. It is one thing - to make a present to a girl, another - to a man, and a third if the recipient of your gift - is a child. In general, pajamas are divided into these three categories. The thing is that each of the above groups has different needs and corresponding expectations from the clothes they will sleep in.
For example, when buying children's pajamas, they look at different criteria than if it were about nightwear for adults. And this is about different materials - for children, they make warmer and softer pajamas, and about the appearance. A child most often likes things, including his clothes, to be made in bright and colorful colors, without excesses, of course. It is also good if it is covered with some funny drawings, for example, cute animals.
Other requirements for pajamas come to the fore when it comes to the female field. Here the importance of high-quality materials is adjacent to the attractive style of nightwear.

Some like prints, others like plain things. In any case, such a present shows your care and tenderness.
