How to choose?
You need to choose a model taking into account several criteria. It is important that the product is suitable for a particular man, not only in size and volume. It needs to match his style. It should be comfortable to wear and fit for its purpose.
For example, night pajamas have a standard or slightly lengthened shirt length... They differ in fit, devoid of excess volume, because of which they can bully during sleep. These are products without hoods, collars. As a rule, they have narrow pants and a standard round neckline.
Such models are made of knitwear, which does not hinder movement and does not cause discomfort to a sleeping person. These clothes are suitable for both young and old men. In the lines of manufacturers, it is presented in a wide range. You can choose models of small and large sizes. In addition, the sets differ by the age group: in addition to products for adults, you can choose options for children and adolescents.
Someone likes flannel and coarse calico options. Their disadvantages are shrinkage during the first wash and lack of elasticity. However, by themselves, they are warm and soft. This is home wear to wear. Summer pajamas should be thin and as breathable as possible. If possible, you need to take an option that does not wrinkle.
In the selection process, you can not do without trying on. This will allow you to assess the degree of convenience of the product and understand how it is suitable for a particular man. Do not take too large or, conversely, a tight fitting product. If it is small, it will tear very quickly.
The big one will interfere with doing household chores.
Neither seams, nor elastic, nor decor should squeeze the body. You should not take the product without trying it on, trusting only the words of the seller. It should be borne in mind that the size range of each manufacturer may differ. As a result, the pajama suit may be small. However, it is not always possible to return or exchange such products. Such things are not taken at random.
It is important to pay attention to the quality and thickness of the seams. A good product has no protruding threads and slipped seams. The stitches have a small pitch, they are not pulled together or torn if you try to pull the seam. The seams should not be too thick, such products dig into the crotch and groin area, which causes discomfort.
It is important to feel comfortable, and therefore you need to consider the style of pajamas. Young men usually prefer to choose sportswear. These are sets consisting of a hoodie or sweatshirt with a hood and slightly tapered pants with side stripes.
Some young men like kigurumi, but they try to choose products without non-functional elements (for example, horns, plastic noses, tails).
Perfectionists love the classic style pajamas, consisting of a straight shirt and straight-leg trousers. Some people try to choose models that include an elongated robe. Wealthy men like silk sets, people with an average income can look closely at products made of cotton, flannel, fleece.
As for the fastener, everything is determined by the preference of the buyer. The degree of comfort is different for everyone: some people like products with a fastener to the level of the chest. Others prefer to buy models with zippers or buttons. Still others believe that it is better to buy wrap models with trousers with an elastic band and drawstring. The drawstring allows you to adjust the degree of fit if the elastic is weak.
In everyday life, knitted options without fasteners and pants with an elastic band are more convenient. Such kits can be worn at home, you can sleep in them, while they can be traditional or family. Knitted sets differ in the thickness of the material, you need to take the option for the season. In this case, the degree of functionality must be taken into account. It is advisable to take the option with pockets of optimal depth.
Large models are made of fleece, kigurumi are sewn from synthetic material with a small pile. Such products are very warm, they can replace a warm blanket in the off-season. In them you can not be afraid of the cold, they replace home suits. As a rule, soft slippers are included in the package of these pajamas.
The best hooded kits are sporty. They do not look like pajamas, they are used as home clothes. In them you can walk the dog, play sports and jogging. The pants of such sets are made with regular and seamed seams, which makes them more practical and durable.
As for the print, it is better to choose the option with photo printing. Products with stickers are often short-lived. In addition to the fact that it is better to wash them by hand, the pictures themselves become covered with cracks over time, or even slide off the base of the fabric in parts. They lose their attractiveness in appearance, and therefore look sloppy.
