This Day allows you to wear your most comfortable pyjamas to work without attracting any attention. Put in a full day of effort while wearing your cosiest pyjamas; trust us, it’ll be worth it!
HISTORY OF NATIONAL PAJAMA DAY
The origin of the word pyjama is Persian, where it means “leg garment.” Appropriately, pyjamas originated in Southwest Asia, descended from the traditional drawstring pants worn by natives of the region. As with many other cultural exports, pyjamas went global after British colonisers introduced them to the rest of the world in the 1800s.
Since then, pyjamas have become the most popular sleepwear garment in the world, and they are now available in a vast array of colours, shapes, and sizes. On This Day, you can wear any of these outfits to the office. This Day was inaugurated in 2004 by PajamaGram as a way to thank those of us who work late hours. PajamaGram is a brand that sells sleepwear for all ages of men and women.
This Day was created solely for amusement. Those with high-pressure and serious jobs may benefit from the day’s relaxed and laid-back environment. Swapping your work attire for pyjamas can help alleviate some of the stress of your job and keep you comfortable throughout the day. National Pajama Day is not merely a day of frivolity, nor is it a mindless holiday. There are numerous health benefits to wearing pyjamas to the office. It has been demonstrated that employees who wear pyjamas to work are more productive and relaxed. Perhaps this is why so many businesses and organisations celebrate this day with open arms.
