pajama

Bedtime shirt style

Pajama refers to loose, lightweight clothing worn for sleeping, typically consisting of pants and a matching top.

The word is almost always plural in American English—pajamas—while British English uses pyjamas.

As a modifier, pajama stays singular: pajama pants, pajama party.

The garment originated in South Asia as loose trousers, adopted by Westerners first as loungewear.
