Pyjamas: more than just pyjamasCosy in bed, cosy on the couch, preferably all day long: pyjamas are the perfect loungewear for winter. What does the two-piece set need to protect you perfectly against the cold and how do you find your favourite model to relax in? Here are the ultimate pyjama tips!
Why actually wear pyjamas? The word pyjama comes from Persian and the garment was brought to Europe by the British. Pyjamas have a long history, as their benefits have always been obvious: they protect the body from cooling down while you sleep, wick moisture away from the body and signal to your head that it's time to relax.
Warm, warmer, pyjamasThere is a suitable pair of pyjamas for every season. In winter, cosy fibres play the leading role: pyjamas made of fluffy woven flannel, velvety nicki fabric or extra-warm fleece keep out the cold. They feel wonderfully soft and are good at regulating the body climate while you sleep. It is best to opt for a high cotton content. The natural fibre allows the body to breathe and forms a thermal cushion. Pyjamas made from cosy plush are ideal for lounging.
Simply a cosier cutComfortable fasteners or a tight fit? Not an option! Flexi cuffs, elasticated waistbands and ties rule when it comes to pyjamas. The fit is relaxed, the cuts are comfortable and you can mix and match your loungewear to your heart's content. From sweatshirt styles to elegant pyjama shirts with a button placket, you decide how you want to relax. In winter, make sure that your arms and legs are covered as much as possible. This is where the body loses temperature most quickly during sleep.
Relaxed careTo care for your pyjamas, take a look at the laundry label. Low temperatures are usually sufficient. A gentle cycle in the tumble dryer is a good idea for all pyjamas made from a fluffy material, and you should always use fabric softener sparingly. Classic pyjama two-pieces consisting of a top and trousers dry best when lying down. The fibres can warp on a hanger.
Looking for a gift? What could be better in winter than the gift of cosiness? Pyjamas under the Christmas tree are the perfect gift to combat everyday stress. Simply choose a style that suits the person. Extra tip for the festive season: matching pyjamas for the whole family! Put them on, take a selfie and create unforgettable moments.
