Whether with long sleeves, short sleeves, pants or shorts; for men there is always a wide variety to choose from the pajama that suits; after finishing an intense workday or having enjoyed a lovely evening of entertainment.
The night and the moment to enjoy sleep should not cease to be an ideal moment to have a relaxing and comforting experience; it is the ideal time to recharge energy, organize thoughts, stop consciously processing ideas, and enjoy a pleasant sleep covered with the comfort offered by a good pajama.
To feel that pleasant sensation on the skin at rest time; there is nothing like choosing the favorite garment to wear and preferably to protect oneself from the current season.
Now, with summer approaching, the guidance on choosing pajamas should focus on light, fresh pieces with contemporary and modern cuts that help provide a restorative night's rest and freshness in humid and hot times.
Some prefer cotton pajamas, with jackets or short-sleeved flannels; with cuts that include plackets and that do not resemble the classic pajama models that grandparents used, with buttons and front pockets. Especially if one has in mind to have an adventurous summer and a return to “normality” after a whole year in lockdown due to the global health emergency.
Some experts assert that to keep good spirits well fed and strong self-esteem, a man must sleep well dressed. Not only focusing on maintaining and caring for the image and appearance of the outfit during the day and the activities carried out during it; but also dressing well at the moment of sleeping and resting.

This style variety is the most demanded and enjoys the greatest popularity among young male pajama users.
Unlike cold seasons like autumn and winter; it is very common that the preference for pajama models and styles varies and changes towards the modality of shorts and short-sleeved shirts made of cotton blended with jersey or satin.
However, the trend remains for sets led by polos with plackets, which offer the freedom to open the front buttons and at the same time avoid being naked without the upper piece of the pajama. This is an important visual and usage detail that should be highly valued.
