Some of our top favorite wear-to-bed clothing that has never waned in favor is a good pair of pajamas. Pajamas have been around for centuries and have remained the top sleepwear in many parts of the world. Their appeal is so big that they have gone beyond the limits of the bedroom and appeared as the top favorite lounging wear of many stay at home moms, dads and home business owners. Is it any wonder that they remain one of the top choices when buying sleepwear?

The best parts Pajamas come in sets, so you can buy a top and a matching bottom. However, there are also retailers that offer only either the top or the bottom as singles. That should give you a lot of choices on what to wear and which ones to mix and match. There's a wide variety of styles to choose from, ranging from the conventional to the sexy to the ultra-hip.

Fabric Pajamas are made from many different materials, although the most popular ones are those made from cotton, flannel, fleece, satin and silk. You can also find materials that are a combination of both natural and synthetic fibers. Choose the type of fabric that will be comfortable enough to keep you warm and give you a good night's sleep.

Gender When it comes to pajamas, women have the upper hand because they can wear any style, regardless of whether it's designed for females or for males. When it comes to buying pajamas, be careful about picking the right size. Pajamas should fit loosely to give the wear enough room to move and twist anyway they like, so make sure about picking a size that is either just right or a little loose.

Color White is still in and many people still prefer the neat and pure look that white pajamas have, but there are so many choices in color that you just can't be stuck with just one or a few earth tones. Pajamas now come in every conceivable color from the smoothest and tamest pastels to the regular solid block colors to muted tones to the more outlandish bright hues.

If you think your dream time can use a little adventure, go for the brightly colored ones, especially those with the wackiest designs. An advantage of pajamas is that they let you go crazy without breaking a fashion statement. Sure, there are a few that you might later on prefer to keep hidden in your closet until they disintegrate, but when there are so many possibilities on what to wear to bed, who's stopping you from making your choice?

Buying pajamas for infants and toddlers We trust pajamas to keep our babies warm in the night, especially those who have a tendency to kick off their blankets in their sleep. If your child is the type who often keeps his blankets all bunched up at the foot of the bed by morning, pajamas are a great choice for comfort, warmth and yes, style.

Cotton remains a top favorite fabric for pajamas because it's light and breathable. Many of the more recently manufactured pajamas are also super soft and cozy, capable of providing enough insulation to keep you warm and are porous enough to keep you cool. That makes them perfect even for summer nights.

If you prefer to keep your baby toasty warm, get fleece or flannel pajamas. Not only are they cuddly soft, they are also quite durable, able to withstand hundreds of washings. As for brands, there are literally hundreds to choose from, such as old favorites like Land's End, Old Navy, Gap and several others.
