They soon gained ground in the west during the colonial era, and became popular as sleepwear, with designs inspired from similar traditional Indian and Persian garments. In India, pyjamas comprised of important clothing items of women and Sikh men. In addition, with the adoption of pyjamas by Englishmen, their popularity soon perforated all across the globe. It's about the piping and the pockets and the relaxed neck.
