A nightshirt is a shirt worn to sleep, while a nightgown was originally worn by both men and women under their clothes during the day. Today, a nightgown is synonymous with pajamas and is removed before dressing. Nightshirts are made of cotton or flannel and are generally knee-length with sleeves. They are often purchased by women and girls, with younger girls preferring cartoon characters and older girls preferring trendy phrases or logos. Nightgowns are comfortable and practical, but not considered particularly sexy.
A nightshirt is simply a reference to any shirt worn at night to sleep. The word nightgown dates back to the 18th century when both men and women slept in the shirts or robes that were worn under their normal clothing during the day. They would take off all their clothes and sleep in their shirt only. Today, a nightgown is a word that is synonymous with nightgown and pajamas and is worn at night but removed before dressing for the day.
For modern business purposes, a nightshirt is generally a garment made of cotton or flannel, resembling a long undershirt and not the same as a nightgown, which can be made of cotton, silk, or any other material and is generally full body . The length of a nightshirt usually rests somewhere near the knees. A nightshirt is also usually short or long sleeved, but not sleeveless.
Although a nightshirt could simply refer to the top half of a pajama set, a nightshirt is generally a single garment and does not include pants or shorts. Most of the time, a nightshirt is designed to fit slightly better than a T-shirt to prevent twisting and bunching during sleep. Sleepshirts are made for both men and women, but they are purchased more often by women, especially girls.
Nightshirts featuring favorite cartoon or commercial characters are particularly popular with younger girls, while older girls may prefer a nightshirt printed with a trendy phrase or logo. Most nightgowns and other pajamas designed for children have some type of flame retardant additive when sold where required by law.
Adults often select a cotton or flannel nightgown for comfort and warmth while sleeping, and nightgowns are convenient when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Although comfortable, practical, and sometimes designed to be somewhat feminine depending on the impression, nightgowns are not generally considered a particularly sexy or promiscuous style of nightwear.
