Pajamas or '''pyjamas''' (often '''PJs''' or '''jammies''') are a form of Nightwear for those who do not prefer to Sleep in their Underwear or nude. Pajamas are usually two-piece garments but may be One-piece Garment s. They are worn by children and adults alike, although children seem to prefer them. The wearing of pajamas by adults is sometimes seasonal; ''e.g.'', only in winter time. The word "pajama" came by the way of the Hindi word ''pajama'', originally from the Persian words پايجامه ''Payjama'' meaning "leg garment." Material Pajamas are usually loose fitting and designed for comfort, using softer materials such as cotton ( Flannel in particular) or the more luxurious Silk or Satin . Designs, Patterns & Concepts Pajamas oftentimes contain visual references to a particular enjoyable hobby that may hold sentimental value to the wearer. Sports is a common theme that appears on many pajamas, however Animals , Balloons , Polka Dots and so forth are not uncommon as these often occur in a happy environment they do occur on a day-to-day basis. While pajamas are often worn in public or during the day, they are usually designed in such a way that makes their identity unambiguous. It is very rare that a pajama is not easily identified as such by contrast to track pants, T-shirts, etc. Custom In 2005, there were news stories that in the United States, girls and young women have started to wear pajama pants in public as fashion. In China, it is not unusual in the late afternoon or evening, to have adults wear their pajamas in public around their local neighborhood. In the U.S., when a wintery storm is predicted, some children will wear their pajamas inside out as good luck for a "snow day" from school the upcoming day. Pajamas are also often wore as comfort wear in the afternoon or evening at home by children after school or some other activity, and have been getting more common in school as fashion trends. References to Pajamas in Popular Culture Pajamas were glorified (or disgraced) on a popular kids television shown known as Bananas In Pajamas . The show detailed the adventures of two bananas while wearing their pajamas, and undoubtedly aided many children in arriving at a favourable opinion on pajamas. Since November 2005, Pajamas Media , temporarily also known as Open Source Media (OSM), is a worldwide aggregate of blogs. The founders chose this name "after that now-famous remark about bloggers being 'just a bunch of people sitting around in their pajamas.'" SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
