Plain versus patterned nightwear

Short answer: Plain is easiest to combine and looks calmer. Pattern hides more and makes sets easier to tell apart in the wardrobe.

The advantage of plain

A plain set can be mixed with other sets and everything goes together. It also reads more calmly in a bedroom. The drawback is that stains and wear show more clearly. See bamboo nightwear for women.

The advantage of pattern

A pattern hides stains, lint and wear. It also makes two sets easy to tell apart in the wardrobe, which sounds trivial but makes a difference on a busy morning. See bamboo pyjamas for men.

How to choose

If you want to mix tops and bottoms freely, choose plain. If you want a set that looks good longest, choose a discreet pattern in a mid dark tone. See bamboo nightwear for men.

Frequently asked questions

Which stays looking good longest

The patterned one, because wear and stains are less visible.

Can a patterned top be worn with plain bottoms

Yes, if the colours in the pattern include the colour of the bottoms.

Is patterned nightwear warmer

No. The pattern is in the yarn and does not change the thickness of the fabric.
