What are "jammies"?

Jammies, also known as pajamas or PJs, are a type of sleepwear commonly worn at night. They consist of two pieces - a top and a bottom - and are typically made from soft, comfortable materials like cotton or silk. The top is usually a loose-fitting shirt or a button-up, while the bottoms can be shorts, pants, or capris. Jammies come in a variety of styles and designs, from classic plaid to fun patterns featuring popular characters or designs. They are designed to be comfortable and cozy, helping the wearer to relax and sleep soundly.
