Pajamas or pyjamas (often PJs) are garments designed to be worn in bed, for those who do not prefer to sleep in their underwear or nude. Pyjamas are usually two-piece garments but may be one-piece garments.

The word "pajama" came by the way of the Hindi word pajama, originally from the Persian words پايجامه Payjama meaning "leg garment."
