A brief history of pajamas

“Pajamas”: nm Nightwear consisting of trousers and a jacket.

Inseparable from our nights, this interior garment combines two particularly attractive qualities: comfort and elegance. Originally from India, it takes its name from the Hindi “pajama”, which literally means “leg garment”. Popularized from the second half of the 19th century in bourgeois interiors, it was propelled into outerwear by Coco Chanel, who wore it on the beach. Today, we can talk about basic. 100% unisex, the pajamas can be worn both indoors and outdoors, as a total look set or mismatched, paired with jeans for the top or a white T-shirt for the bottom.
