Can what you wear to bed really determine your personality? There’s a lot that your everyday wardrobe can say about your personality. For instance, if you’re always impeccably dressed in a suit and tie or never without your heels, you care about the opinions of others and definitely have an image you want to project. However, if you like showing off your rock band t-shirt collection, then you probably like to stand out.
So does that translate to what you wear when you sleep, too? From perfectly coordinated pajama sets and pink onesie pajamas to your favorite old t-shirts and sweatpants, what you wear to bed can say a lot about you. Read through the list below to see what your favorite jammies say about your personality.
Matching Pajama Sets
Perhaps the first thing that comes to mind when many people think of pajamas are matching pants and shirts (usually the long-sleeved, button-up kind). Those who prefer to coordinate, even when they’re going to bed, are probably Type A personalities: organized, tidy, and stylish — but they might be a little bit uptight, too! Throw some bright colors and bold patterns into the mix, too!
PJ Bottoms and a T-Shirt (or Sweatpants and Pajama Tops)
This combination is probably second to wearing matching pajamas, and no wonder: you can have the comfort of an old soft t-shirt with a fun pair of loose, comfy pajama pants. If you live in a cold climate, however, this option could have your reaching for the sweatshirts and blankets in the winter. Meanwhile, if you’re the athletic type, for instance, you may have a lot of older sweatpants that you’ve retired from their workout gear rotation. If you’re seeing a lot of sweatpants in your pajama drawer, though, it may be time to consider some other options for bedtime.
Footed Onesie Pajamas
Believe it or not, footed pajamas for adults are becoming something of a trend! After all, who says that only kids can get the comfort and warmth of pajama onesies? These PJs are available in everything from cute pink onesie pajamas for adults and kids to funky patterned footed pajamas with hoods and drop seats. Those who opt for the adult footed PJs are likely fun-loving people and big fans of warmth and comfort!
Nightgowns
Wow, you sure are old school! Wearing a nightie might be your grandma’s pajamas of choice, but there are more contemporary options available, too. A nightgown can be comfortable for those who want to sleep in something free-flowing and loose. Just make sure it provides enough cover and warmth if you need to step outside for a minute or two!
Boxers, Briefs, or Nothing at All
While around 74% of Americans wear pajamas to bed and 18% wear “something else,” 8% of adults surveyed report that they wear nothing to bed. While this could be because you’re a “free spirit,” it could be that your pajama drawer is lacking, too. About 61% of adults surveyed say that they don’t have enough options for sleepwear. Avoid the cold of winter (or maybe the awkwardness of being in your skivvies) by stocking up on some new pajamas.
Whether you like the classic look of nightgowns and pajama sets or the comfort of sweatpants or adorable and warm pink onesie pajamas, there are plenty of options for you. Try looking online to find your next favorite set of pajamas!
