The Five Pajama Patterns You Need in Your Closet
Share

Approximately 74% of people in the United States report wearing pajamas to bed, while 8% report sleeping naked, and the remaining wear some other kind of clothing to bed. Pajamas are clearly in the majority here.
However, choosing pajamas can be difficult. Whether you're looking for footed pajamas for men, or onesie pajamas for kids, there are probably a few patterns that you know and love. However, not all patterns are created equal (we're looking at you, tie dye). Here are the top five pajama patterns you need for a trendy night's sleep.
Plaid
This trend is taking the hipster world by storm, so why not add it to your sleep wardrobe? Plaid pajamas are often made with actual flannel, which is great for chilly nights because it keeps you warm while allowing air to flow, therefore reducing sweat and contributing to the average eight and a half hours of sleep that most people get every night.
Animal Print
If you're looking to make a statement at your next sleepover, animal-print footed pajamas are the way to go. Countless celebrities are already in on the footed pajama trend, so why not spice it up with some zebra or cheetah prints?
Stripes
Although you're probably past the tiny inmate look of your childhood, stripes are a great addition to any wardrobe. This simple pattern can include vertical, horizontal, and even diagonal stripes to add a pop of color and some shape to an otherwise plain look.
Food
Whether it's pancakes and syrup or pizza, everyone is in a craze about food-patterned pajamas. These items are a fantastic statement piece, as well as a cute and fun way to reveal what might be your favorite food.
Floral
Floral patterns are sweeping the fashion world in a beautiful way. From bags, to sunglasses, to your pajamas, this pattern adds a touch of elegance and springtime to your nights. Not only that, but there are so many floral patterns to choose from that you may just be a little bit overwhelmed.
No matter the pattern you pick, pajamas can be a great way to add style to your sleep schedule. Approximately four in 10 Americans get less than the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep, but with a good pair of pajamas, anything is possible.
