The concept of pajamas was officially born in the 19th century, when people began to make clothes for sleeping at home with white cotton, silk and linen for the first time. Men's robes were also plain white and long to the calves; women's robes were looser and more puffy, covering from the neck to the knees. After a century of development, the robe has become more refined, with many embroidery, pleats and ruffles added to the robe.
In the early 20th century, pajamas were as artificial as other types of clothing. Whether it was women's pajamas, couples' pajamas, boudoir robes, tea robes, etc., they all had exquisite and complicated drapes and layers of wearing, but ignored practicality. During this period, pajamas were all luxurious silk and velvet custom-made clothing, belonging to the upper class.
The arrival of World War I made the robe less loose and brought a more masculine and simple style. With the post-war economic development and the booming tourism industry in Europe and the United States, clothing stores began to make sleeping bags, bedspreads, pillows and sheets, and matched them with women's pajamas, driving the fashion of bedroom series. At the same time, due to the needs of travel life, the styles of pajamas are becoming lighter and lighter.
With the beginning of World War II in the late 1930s, nightlife gradually died out, so there was almost no demand for high-end women's pajamas. What was needed was ready-made and easy-to-wear clothes, such as wool flannel nightgowns that can be worn all day and can also be used as evening gowns; small and lightweight chiffon silk pajamas that are easy to wash, iron and carry; lightweight sleeping clothes made of dyed cotton cloth with adjustable waist.
In 1945, World War II ended, the economy recovered, and the singing and dancing were prosperous. Beautiful feminine pajamas became fashionable again.
By the 1950s, pajamas became mainstream like other women's underwear. With the innovation of industrial technology, nylon fabrics were widely used, bringing innovation to the clothing industry, and a variety of underwear, pajamas, styles and styles from dignified and noble to short and sexy emerged, as well as an unprecedented variety of new underwear brands.
In the 1960s, with the rapid development of commodity economy, reasonably priced, fashionable and high-quality women's underwear and nightgowns were widely sold in stores as ready-made clothes, and pajamas and underwear entered every woman's wardrobe. At the same time, they were often worn out for display. Ladies wore dazzling robes as evening gowns to theaters and dinner parties; pajamas appeared on the beach, tennis courts or markets.
After the 1970s, as cotton and nylon blended products such as polyester became more and more popular, pure nylon pajamas began to become outdated. High-end pajamas appeared in the form of silk, cotton, wool and blended cotton. The color form also changed from the past peaceful colors to the strong colors of the late 1980s. The luxurious taste also led consumption to high prices.
The 1990s was a stage with more modern values and functions. This new passion was a supplement to the increasingly popular family life around the world. The advancement of science and technology and the streamlining of corporate personnel enabled women to establish their own careers. In addition to taking care of children at home, they also had to work at home. The pajamas market has expanded to include what people wear when they go home, not necessarily what they wear when they go to bed. In this case, in addition to the pajamas series, the concept of home clothes has been added. In addition to fashion, people are also very concerned about what they wear at home. Home clothes have long surpassed the basic needs of just wearing. Women may have a mountain of pajamas in their wardrobes, but they also want to have the latest popular styles and colors. They not only need to be comfortable, but also want to look sexier and more beautiful.
