I am crazy abouat pajamas. Don't ask me why, but when I walk into a store, I want to see what new styles may be available. I don't think I"m alone in this. American's seem to have a love affair with pajamas, sometimes owning more of this type of clothing than any other. We love lounge outfits, lingerie, long flannel nightgowns and pajamas that hug and comfort us on winter nights, sporty short sets, and "bunny" suits with hands and feet that have often doubled as Halloween costumes. As the season's change, so do our tastes in Pajamas

What wife doesn't appreciate lingerie for Valentines, Christmas or her Anniversary. Women love unique pajamas that make them feel feminine and sexy. Remember, flannel can be as feminine as some of the more sheer materials. At Christmas kids are delighted with warm flannel pajamas decorated with Holidy cheer. A child's Birthday is the perfect time for pajamas printed with his favorite movie hero, rock star or cartoon personality.At baby showers, the pre-born guest of honor receives more infant pajamas than he will ever wear in his first year of life. The styles range from short body suits to bunny suits with feet, hands and head completely covered. There are many unique styles for infants that emphasize practicalities as well as the "cute" factor.

When shopping for Father's Day or Mother's Day shory nighties designed for summer are most appropriate and fun, whereas Dad might appreciate sporty short legged pajamas in wramer weather. Pajamas make great gifts for the office. What you must keep in mind is that pajama styles should reflect not only the personality of the wearer, but should function well in his or her lifestyle in whatever season of the year. Goodnight to all and to all a fashionably goodnight!
