Beach pyjamas are a type of loose-fitting, comfortable clothing that were popularized in the 1920s and 1930s as a fashionable option for women to wear at the beach or on vacation. They are typically made of lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton, silk, or rayon, and feature wide-legged pants and a loose-fitting top that may be sleeveless or have short sleeves. The pants may be high-waisted and feature a drawstring or elastic waistband for comfort. Beach pyjamas were a departure from the more restrictive and formal clothing styles of the time, and were seen as a symbol of freedom and relaxation. They were often worn with sandals or espadrilles, and accessorized with wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and jewelry such as long necklaces or bracelets. While beach pyjamas fell out of fashion in the mid-20th century, they have experienced a resurgence in popularity in recent years as a retro-inspired fashion statement. Modern versions may feature updated fabrics and prints, but still retain the loose, comfortable silhouette that made them popular in the first place.
