Pajamas (or pyjamas in Commonwealth English, (/pəˈdʒɑːməz, pɪ-, -ˈdʒæ-/ pə-JAH-məz, pih-, -⁠JAM-əz)) are several related types of clothing worn as nightwear or while lounging. Pajamas are soft garments derived from the South-Asian Muslim and Iranian bottom-wear, the pyjamas, which were adopted in the Western world as nightwear.
