A loose-fitting garment worn by both men and women as nightwear or loungewear. It consists of a waist-length jacket and trousers, and is made from cotton broadcloth, flannel, knitwear, pile fabric, silk, etc. Originally it referred to loose trousers worn by Indians and Persians, but was brought back to Europe from India by the British in the 1870s, and has been widely worn by the general public since the 20th century. Additionally, beach pajamas, which were popular as beach wear in the 1920s and 1930s, were a precursor to women's pants style being accepted as street wear.

寝巻または部屋着として男女ともに着用されるゆったりとした服。腰丈の上着とズボンからなり、綿ブロード、ネル、ニット、パイル地、シルク地などでつくられる。元来はインド人やペルシア人が着用するゆったりとしたズボンのことで、1870年代にイギリス人がインドからヨーロッパへ持ち帰り、20世紀以降、広く一般に着用されるようになった。また、海浜着として1920年代から30年代に流行したビーチ・パジャマは、女性のパンツ・スタイルが街着として認められる先駆けとなった。 [深井晃子] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
