THE HISTORY OF WOMEN'S PYJAMAS

 

Sleepwear has always had a place in women's wardrobes, but over the years it has evolved into what we know today as women's pyjamas. The truth is, women's pyjamas have become so comfortable and so much a part of our daily lives that we wear them not only as sleepwear but as loungewear and everyday home outfits too.

The word "pyjama" comes from the Indian word "piejamah" — the name for loose trousers tied at the waist. British colonists decided this garment would make wonderfully comfortable loungewear for afternoon naps. Once they discovered how pleasant the new style was to sleep in overnight, women's pyjamas quickly replaced the long white nightgown that had been universal until then. Indians were not alone — Turks and Iranians were also among the first to embrace pyjama-style dress.

The men's version consisted of wide, straight-cut trousers with a drawstring waist and a button-up top with a light collar. Women's pyjamas were cut more loosely, with the trousers gathered at the ankle with ribbons or a drawstring. Women's pyjamas arrived in Europe during the First World War — worn not only for sleeping but as loungewear sets for pottering around the home. Shortly after, a new trend emerged: wearing women's pyjamas to the beach, made from light, flowing fabrics such as satin, chiffon or silk.

It is widely credited to Coco Chanel that the two-piece women's pyjama — top and wide-leg trousers — became a fashion statement. At first the style was met with resistance, as it was considered insufficiently feminine by the standards of the day. But once several Hollywood actresses appeared on screen in luxurious satin and silk women's pyjamas, interest exploded. Claudette Colbert was among the first to be filmed in a silk pyjama set, followed by Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo. These bold women were true pioneers who changed perceptions of glamour and femininity forever. It is precisely the relaxed, clean-cut silhouette of the women's pyjama that allows every woman to feel truly comfortable in her own skin — and there is no more beautiful woman than a confident one!

 

TYPES OF WOMEN'S PYJAMAS AND LOUNGEWEAR

 

There are thousands of variations and designs in women's pyjamas and loungewear sets. To make it easier to navigate, we look at them in two groups — by fabric and by style.

By fabric

Cotton Women's Pyjamas

The most popular and best-loved choice for many women. Cotton women's pyjamas are made from a natural fabric with moisture-wicking properties — soft against the skin, breathable and ideal for year-round wear. Cotton-elastane blends are particularly sought after, as the fabric hugs the body's curves, drapes beautifully and offers a longer lifespan than non-stretch cotton. Cotton loungewear sets and cotton pyjamas are also the most suitable choice for sensitive skin.

Luxury Satin Women's Pyjamas

The sophisticated choice for the woman who wants to feel special even at home. Satin pyjama sets are crafted from stretch satin with a beautiful sheen and a silk-like feel against the skin. A luxury satin women's pyjama drapes smoothly over the body, follows the silhouette and creates an effortlessly elegant look. Satin loungewear sets also make a perfect gift — for a birthday, Christmas or Valentine's Day.

Tulle Women's Pyjamas

The more daring choice for women who enjoy a touch of femininity at home. Tulle pyjamas are light, airy and elegant, with beautiful lace detailing — the perfect loungewear set for a romantic evening.

By style and cut

Two-Piece Women's Pyjamas

The classic and most popular style. Available in two main versions: summer — with shorts and a cami top or t-shirt in fresh colours and prints, and winter — with full-length trousers and a top with long sleeves, three-quarter sleeves or short sleeves.

Luxury 3-Piece Pyjama Set

A wardrobe essential for every woman. The classic combination is full-length trousers, a cami top and a long-sleeved wrap jacket with a tie. The three-piece pyjama set works equally well as sleepwear and as elegant loungewear. In an era when many women work from home, the 3-piece women's pyjama set has become a true expression of personal style — ranging from clean, everyday designs to refined luxury pyjama sets.

Women's Loungewear Set

Practical, stylish everyday loungewear for life at home. A women's loungewear set is comfortable, beautiful and versatile — perfect for relaxing at home, working remotely or simply unwinding. Available in a wide range of fabrics, cuts and colours.

Short Women's Pyjamas

The perfect choice for warmer months. Light, fresh and comfortable, short pyjamas are the favourite summer sleepwear for women who value comfort without compromising on style.

Satin Women's Dressing Gown

A luxurious style that can be worn on its own or as the third piece of a pyjama set. Beautiful, elegant and wonderfully comfortable to wear — true loungewear for the woman with taste.

HOW TO CHOOSE WOMEN'S PYJAMAS

 

Choosing the right women's pyjamas or loungewear set depends on several key factors — the season, the fabric, the cut and your personal preferences. Here are a few practical tips to help you find your perfect pyjama.

Consider the season

For warmer months, choose a summer cotton pyjama or a short women's pyjama in lightweight tulle. For spring and autumn — a women's pyjama with short sleeves or a light satin loungewear set. For winter — a cotton pyjama with full-length trousers and long sleeves, or a cosy luxury 3-piece pyjama set.

Choose the right fabric

Cotton is the most suitable choice for sensitive skin and ideal as everyday loungewear. Cotton-elastane provides a better fit and a longer lifespan for your women's pyjama. Satin is the luxurious choice for special occasions or for the woman who wants to feel elegant even at home. Tulle is light and airy — perfect for warm weather and romantic evenings.

Choose the right style

If practicality is your priority — choose a two-piece women's pyjama. If you want a versatile loungewear set — the 3-piece pyjama set is the best option, as it can also be worn as everyday loungewear. For a truly luxurious feel — a luxury satin pyjama or satin dressing gown is the perfect choice.

Choose the right size

Women's pyjamas should have a slightly looser fit than everyday clothing — for maximum comfort during sleep and full freedom of movement. See our size guide for precise measurements.

 

CARING FOR YOUR WOMEN'S PYJAMAS

 

Proper care for your women's pyjamas and loungewear sets guarantees a long lifespan, preserved colour and a pleasant feel against the skin. Follow these simple guidelines and your favourite women's pyjama will look beautiful wash after wash.

Washing women's pyjamas

Cotton women's pyjamas can be machine washed on a delicate cycle up to 40°C or hand washed. Cotton-elastane pyjamas — up to 30°C to preserve the stretch in the fabric. Luxury satin pyjama sets and tulle women's pyjamas require a delicate cycle up to 30°C or hand washing. We recommend a gentle detergent without bleach.

Drying

Never use a tumble dryer — high heat damages the fibres and shortens the life of your women's pyjamas. Leave your pyjama set or loungewear to dry naturally in the shade, laid flat or hung on a hanger to preserve its shape.

Ironing

Cotton women's pyjamas can be ironed on a medium heat setting from the reverse side. Luxury satin pyjama sets require a low temperature and should be ironed on the reverse side of the fabric to preserve the sheen. Tulle styles should not be ironed.

Storage

Store your women's pyjamas and loungewear sets folded in a drawer or hung on a hanger — away from direct sunlight, which can fade colours over time.
