Paejama

Paejama is a term that refers to a type of traditional Korean sleepwear. Historically, paejama was typically made from cotton or linen and featured a simple, loose-fitting design. The garments often consisted of a top and bottom, with the top usually having a crossed collar and ties. The trousers were often elasticated or drawstring-waisted for comfort.

The design of paejama reflected a need for comfort and breathability, suitable for the Korean climate. While traditional styles emphasized natural fabrics and a relaxed fit, modern interpretations can vary widely in terms of materials, patterns, and embellishments. Today, the term "paejama" is often used interchangeably with "pajamas" in a general sense, but it retains a connection to its Korean origins and traditional aesthetic. The evolution of paejama reflects changing fashion trends and lifestyles, while still holding onto the core concept of comfortable sleepwear.
