Each year on April 16th people observed Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day
What some people are calling “the best holiday of the year,” Relax the dress code and work in comfort on Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day. This day was created as a fun holiday. It is a day to celebrate and unwind from the long hours and hard work of those whose job is to prepare taxes and the anxiety of the last minute tax filers. National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day allows you to sleep in a little later than you normally would. Once you get up, you do not have to take the time getting dressed as you are already dressed for your day.
PJs started to gain acceptance in the Western world by the late 1800s. Since then, jammies have been transformed into the sleepwear garments that we know and love today. Pajams, payjamas or jammies is a loose piece of clothing, not unlike pants, worn on the lower part of a person's body. While most people wear them to bed, they were once and still are part of a normal outfit worn by men and women during the day in many parts of the Middle East and South Asia.
