Teen Girls' Pyjamas

How to choose pyjamas for your teenage daughter?

Pyjamas play an essential role in your child’s comfort and therefore in her sleep. Here is some advice on finding the best pyjamas for your child so she feels at ease all evening. But how do you recognise the ones that suit your daughter best, from the wide range of options available? Two-piece pyjamas, summer or winter pyjamas, cotton or velour — here is some information to help you choose pyjamas for a child of any age and for any season!

When to buy cotton or velour pyjamas for your teenage daughter?

To know when to dress your child in velour or cotton pyjamas, you need to pay attention to the ambient temperature in her room! Indeed, temperature is the primary indicator of our children’s sleep, as it’s important to ensure it’s neither too warm nor too cold.

Take the room temperature into consideration

If the temperature is between 18 and 20°C, which is the recommended temperature for a child’s bedroom, you should choose velour or thick cotton pyjamas to keep your child well covered so she doesn’t feel cold. It’s also preferable to opt for long trousers and a long-sleeved top for full coverage from head to toe. On the other hand, if the temperature in the room is above 21°C, opt for cotton pyjamas, also with long trousers and a long-sleeved pyjama top. Finally, when the temperature reaches 24°C or above — usually in the height of summer — choose cotton shorts with a t-shirt or a light top so your daughter doesn’t feel too warm at night.

How to choose the right pyjamas for your little girl?

Choosing the right pyjamas for your children is essential, both to ensure a good night’s sleep and to respect their sensitive skin. In order to make the right clothing choice, it’s important to consider the material of the pyjamas, their elasticity, and the style you prefer.

The material

Synthetic materials are not suitable or recommended for our children’s sensitive skin. For their comfort, choose natural, breathable materials such as cotton and linen in summer, or wool or velour in winter. Also pay attention to the certification of the pyjamas. Prefer children’s pyjamas certified to the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, guaranteed free from harmful substances to protect our little ones’ skin.

Elasticity

For your daughter, choose stretchy and supple garments. In particular, they allow your child total freedom of movement and to be perfectly comfortable throughout the night without disrupting her sleep.

The style

For the child to sleep well and peacefully, you must choose a pyjama style she likes. Favourite colours, animal designs, magical worlds… Her tastes must be taken into account to make her happy and give her sweet dreams.

When to move to two-piece pyjamas for little girls?

From the age of 2, it’s generally assumed that the child can move on from her traditional onesie to a two-piece pyjama set. Indeed, from this age, the baby begins to move and get around and needs to be totally free in her movements. Long reserved for older children, the two-piece pyjama has also won over the wardrobes of the youngest ones. While the all-in-one pyjama is a must in any child’s wardrobe, a two-piece set has undeniable advantages, such as freedom of movement and faster dressing and undressing — helpful when removing a nappy, for example.

When should you move up a size in pyjamas for your little girl?

In order to choose the right size outfit for your child, you need to take her height and weight into account. Indeed, the sizes indicated on baby clothing (1 month, 3 months, 6 months, etc.) and children’s clothing (from 2 to 16 years) are only measurements and not the child’s actual age. As your child grows and gains weight, it’s necessary to go up a size so she is perfectly comfortable at night. Torn between two sizes? We know how quickly our children grow. To avoid having to change pyjama size just a few weeks after buying them, always go up a size!

Which winter pyjamas for your teenage daughter?

For winter nights, a pair of velour or thick cotton pyjamas, comfortable and snuggly, is perfect for your little sleepers. Long pyjamas, long sleeves, and even an all-in-one will keep your little girl well covered from head to toe for a better night’s sleep. When winter arrives, as temperatures drop and the environment cools down, it’s important to choose the right pyjamas for your child.

Your daughter is between 8 and 16 years old

For older teenage girls aged 8 to 16, opt for velour and cotton to promote comfort. If your child gets particularly cold, think about putting on a little pair of socks to keep her nice and warm!

Which summer pyjamas for your teenage daughter?

In spring and summer, when temperatures start to rise, choose lightweight, breathable materials such as cotton. With its incomparable softness and lightness, cotton offers your child a gentle summer night’s sleep. Depending on the conditions in your little one’s room, dress her in flowing trousers or short pyjama shorts, paired with a short-sleeved t-shirt, or even a light top in very warm weather. Polyester pyjamas can also be suitable for summer nightwear. Lightweight and soft, polyester has a calming effect while your children sleep, is inexpensive, and is extremely easy to care for.

Choosing the colour of teen girls’ pyjamas

Contrary to what you might think, just because it’s for your daughter doesn’t mean you have to stick to pink. It’s perfectly fine to opt for other colours. You can go for green, orange, or any other colour. You can also look for styles with animal motifs such as unicorns (very popular nowadays) or cartoon characters. But of course, everything should depend primarily on your child’s age. If your little girl is already a bit older, you can ask for her opinion. You can choose together — a magical moment to share between parents and daughters. Find the one that best matches your child’s needs and passions at Little Pirates.
