History

↓↓
Pajamas originated in South and Central Asia, where the word comes from the Persian word pāy-jāma, meaning “leg garment.” They were introduced to Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries and became popular as comfortable nightwear. In Japan, pajamas became widely used during the modern era, influenced by Western clothing styles. Today, pajamas are worn worldwide as standard sleepwear, with many styles for comfort, warmth, or fashion.
