3 Reasons You Need Matching Family Pajamas
Let's start things off by taking you through these three reasons that make family pajamas a must-have for you:
Family Photos
Whether you are someone who sends out a family Christmas card or simply needs a portrait to hang in the house, there is no better way to take a photo than with coordinated clothes. We recommend going for something neutral and basic for non-festive photos.
Something to Bond Over
We're about to go a little sentimental on you so bear with us. It is in human nature to think that the good times will roll on forever. Sometimes we realize that those good times are now only good memories.
Children grow up fast, and it’s natural to miss the times when they wanted to match with the rest of the family. So, capitalize on the time. A simple Sunday morning spent bonding with the fam while lounging in matching pajamas is sure to leave you with a memory that you won't soon forget.
A Great Gift
A matching family pajama set also makes for a wonderful holiday gift. You can even send a family Christmas card along with it where you all are twinning in a matching set. The card will encourage your loved ones to send a similar picture of their own family.
Things to Consider When Buying Matching Family Pajamas
Material
When it comes to your pajama's material, you'll commonly find cotton, polyester, and flannel. While cotton is the softest and most breathable, flannel is generally warmer. Polyester jammies are super lightweight and are often blended with spandex for that extra stretchiness.
The material that you ultimately go for will depend on your local weather and the time of year. Also, it’s wise to seek out fire-retardant fabric for safety purposes.
Family Members
A standard family pj set typically offers matching pajamas for two adults, male and female, and two kids, male and female. So, if your family ratio is different, make sure that the pj's are available to buy separately as well. The last thing you want is to have one of your children feeling left out. The best coordinating family pajamas, like the ones in our article, also get you sleepwear for your pets and even dolls.
Buying Tips for the Best Matching Family Pajamas
With so many options available, it can get a little overwhelming when trying to buy a matching pj set for your family. So, here are two tips that will help you make a more informed choice:
Sizing
Size is perhaps the most important thing to make or break a family set of pajamas. Granted, no brand can make a set that perfectly fits your entire family, so don't be too hopeful.
You should take a look at the size chart and the customer reviews which will address the overall fit. Moreover, we recommend that you consider going a size up. Sleepwear isn't supposed to have a snug fit, and loose-fitting clothes will just add to the overall comfort.
Design
From festive contrasts to long john patterns, the choices are limitless when it comes to holiday pajamas. If you're looking for something to add to your year-round wardrobe, we recommend opting for something a bit more everyday and basic. Regardless, it is wise to look out for brands that offer their pj sets in various color options and designs.
