Pyjama Buying Guide: The 7 Things That Matter in a Pyjama

Pyjama Buying Guide: The 7 Things That Matter in a Pyjama

Selecting your pyjama may seem like a piece of cake, but the truth is, finding one that suits your needs can be as meticulous as picking an evening dress. After all, a good sleep is influenced by a good sleepwear.

You want something easy, functional yet chic; add to that, luxurious. If you're on a pyjama shopping, we invite you to look at this list to narrow down your options and help you make the right purchase.

So how do you select your pyjamas? Here are seven things that matter.

Comfort

You won't get those nightly snoozes if you're constantly turning, fussing over the collars, popping the buttons and stretching out the elastic. To avoid that, keep in mind what you want in your sleepwear: do you want pockets? Buttons? Collars or round necks? Check if the elastic feels too restricted or if it has drawstrings to tie the pants in place. Your pyjamas will be part of your sleeping routine, and comfort is your top priority.

Pyjama Fabric

Pyjamas are made from different materials, some of them in mixed varieties, and you can select which fabric suits your lifestyle. Cotton is a common material because it is lightweight and breathable. Keep in mind, however, that this fabric does not insulate heat very well; it can lower your body temperature during colder weather. Flannel is popular for its warmth, but it cannot be worn in warmer settings due to its heavy composition. One of the best options is silk. Made from natural fibre, this material balances the body temperature in both cool and warm climates. The satiny material glides on your skin and gives off a luxurious element in your sleepwear. Make an investment and purchase pyjamas that would not irritate your skin.

Fit

When buying online, take time to view the size chart and make sure you've checked the measurements before purchasing. Since women have different body types, you may want to select pyjama styles that will complement your body. Apple types will look good in high-waisted bottoms. Pear types should take the opposite route. Our tip: silk pyjamas fall snugly on the body and can fit any silhouette.

Sleepwear Style

Who says you have to ditch style for your sleepwear? With so many fashionable prints and patterns, your pyjamas can reflect your personality in different ways. Be classy and choose the solid-toned coordinates. Or enjoy the burst of colours and patterns in fun geometric shapes for a youthful twist. Choose it so you can wear it outside too. 

Longevity

Invest in pyjamas that will stay with you for a long time; something that wouldn't easily wear off or go out of style. How to determine which garment will endure over time? Inspect the entire make, especially the seams and ends where the thread usually frays. Avoid synthetic materials and at best, choose handmade. Handmade items are given more attention than the mass-produced pieces; each garment is carefully checked to perfection. With this, you can enjoy your purchase for as long you could.

Usability

You don’t have to be locked in one style; instead of purchasing coordinates, buy separate tops and bottoms or mix and match it with your other sleepwear. And no, your pyjamas don’t have to stay indoors. You can add versatility to this wardrobe by reusing the top as a regular blouse. Silk pyjamas for women have become a contemporary trend, and you too can join the fashionable bunch by pairing it with casual jeans or skirts on your day out. Our suggestion: select ones that come with modern prints or solid tones for an elegant charm.

Care

There is no avoiding it, but your pyjamas will need regular washing, and you want it to be as easy-breezy as possible. Regular fabrics will require machine wash, but you might have to hand-wash or line-dry items made of delicate materials, such as silk and satin. Don't let special instructions deter you from investing in high-quality pieces. The amount of time you put in caring for your sleepwear is equivalent to the quality of its make and its overall longevity. For example all RADICE pyjamas are also machine-washable, so you don't have to worry about it. 

The right pair of pyjamas is a true luxury for every woman. Paying attention to these details will lead you to the best choices in terms of fabric, style, and fit. There’s no money that will amount getting a good sleep and, much better, good mornings. With a comfy pair of pyjamas, you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and refined as you charge into the day.
