nightcap blue-white

The blue-and-white sleep cap is a long pointed cap with narrow, horizontal blue-and-white stripes and a fluffy pompon on top. It is designed for women and men attending a pajama party or dressing up as a sleepyhead at a themed party. When worn, the point flops to one side and the pompon hangs at ear level.

Why does a pointed cap with a pompon belong at bedtime?

A nightcap used to be a common piece of sleepwear because people wore it to keep their heads warm in unheated bedrooms. This is where the image of a sleepy figure wearing a long pointed cap and carrying a candle comes from, and it can still be seen in picture books and cartoons today. At a pajama party, this single headpiece works as a recognizable accessory: everyone will immediately see that you are the sleepyhead of the group, even if you are otherwise just wearing pajamas.

The blue-and-white sleep cap in a complete nightwear outfit

A long nightdress or loose pajamas in a light color will best showcase the blue stripes. Add slippers and carry a pillow or stuffed animal under your arm, and the sleepy look will be complete at a glance. If you want to make the whole outfit more playful, choose pajamas with their own print, as the cap's regular stripes keep the look understated. For a group, it is fun to all dress in nightwear, with this cap as a unifying element.

Bring home the blue-and-white sleep cap and head to the pajama party like a true sleepyhead.
