Pajamas, the history of a night revolution

Pajama is a garment with a long history and that has now become essential in time of confinement.According to the latest data, only 8 percent of the population sleeps naked.Most sleep with a mere t -shirt and underwear, but the pajamas is still the star of the night with about 40 percent of the population in love with it.There is nothing better to greet the dream than dressed in label.Thus this outfit should be understood, a way to get elegant to facilitate sleep and at least the nightmares caught you comfortable and dress.

The history of pajamas starts in the Ottoman Empire.The word comes from the Hindu term "Pae Jama" or "Pai Jama" and its use was extended by India, Iran, Pakistan and Bangladesh.In the West, in the antiquity and Middle Ages they used to prefer the famous nightgowns, both for women and for men, long white robes with which to cling well to the bed mattress.But this wild rudiment lost all value from the 18th century, when the British discovered in their Indian colonies the traditional shirts and baggy pants to go to sleep, the pajamas we know today, and introduced it to all west.First it was used as an exotic dress to demonstrate status in the wealthiest classes, but little by little its comfort was imposed.From the end of the 19th century it was already common practice in most homes.Even the lower classes had their own versions to greet as it was due to the dream.

In 1902, department stores thus announced their assortment of pajamas: “Simply, the best for sleeping and traveling.His appearance admits greater freedom than all the other evening clothes ”.There were silk for summer and plush or cotton for winter, but the variety of fabrics depended on the pocket of who bought them.

Although in India it was indicated for men and women, in the West it became popular mostly as male clothing, something that changed thanks to an essential name in the history of fashion, Coco Chanel.The 20s favored Andrójinas and pajamas garments fell perfectly in this field.Chanel, in his eager to free Corsés, put his pants and sleeping jacket as the best option also for women and left behind the old prejudice that the pants were prohibited for women."Mademoiselle Chanel, you are the living example that one should not only be dressed, but must be well dressed," said the owner of a casino to the dressmaker when they prevented the entrance for carrying your typical pants.

The cinema would be in charge of popularizing this idea for the world.First was Jean Harlow and then Carol Lombard in the legendary, "it happened one night" where he had, and much better, the same pajamas as Clark Gable.At that time, in 1927, the advertising of the Venetian Lido said: "The best beach in the world for the sun and the pajamas".The garment became popular as a beach dress and the women came out for the first time with pants in public with these outfits.The world had changed and thanks, in part, to a pajamas.

There are many names associated with the garment.Hugh Hefner, the creator of the adult magazine "Playboy", said he had more than 100 in his closet.Barbara Staisand received her Oscar in 1969 by "Funny Girl" with a horrible transparent black pajamas of Arnold Scaasi.In 1993, Kurt Cobain married Courtney Love with Pajamas because, he said, "he was lazy to put a smoking".And more recently, artists like Rihanna, Selena Gómez, Kate Moss or Sarah Jessica Parker made fashionable go buy in Pijama.

Many psychologists now recommend that we do not go all day in pajamas because that could lead us to apathy.We need to keep routines, they say.For them, going in pajamas is a kind of neglect based on the idea that the human being is stupid and that if he does not perform the same customs he did before confinement will go crazy.His perception of the human psyche works through the study of pathologies, and understand pathology for ideas or behaviors that escape the social norm established in advance in advance.Therefore, Estya ideas are not used in confinement, because nothing has been established in advance simply because an confinement of these characteristics had never happened.

Psychologists, in reality, do not understand that we cannot assess the behavior of the human being in confinement in the same way that we are released.If we study the human being well in confinement, we will understand that there is nothing healthier than going all day in pajamas to at least free ourselves from stress added by the situation.The pathology, right now, is to dress as if you were going somewhere, because it is not true, it is a delirium.That psychologists promote delusions is ridiculous, an irony that perfectly defines these crazy moments.Please continue with your pajamas, it's the best for mental health.
