Where do Pyjamas come from?Pyjamas were originally loose lightweight trousers worn in the East,or a loose two piece suit of silk or cotton,or synthetic material worn for sleeping or lounging. Men’s pyjamas appeared in the Western world about 1870 after returning British colonials brought back with them the “Pajamas” worn by the Hindus. They are thought to have originated in India.“Pyjama” in Hindi means drawers and once introduced into the West became steadily more popular for men and women.When did Pyjamas grow in Popularity?At the beginning of the 20th Century,pyjamas were introduced as women’s sleepwear and around 1920 as at home evening wear.By the 1920s women wearing trousers had become an acceptable fashion.Workers in munitions factories had worn trousers beneath their overalls and after The Great War they kept trousers for private wear at home.Later when crepe pyjamas were worn publicly at the seaside,trousers for women were a usual sight,but still quite confined to beach and promenade areas.
