nightcap red-white

The red-and-white nightcap is a long, pointed cap with horizontal red and white stripes and a white pompon at the tip.

It is designed for women and men dressing up as sleepyheads, for example at a pajama party or during Carnival. The tip is so long that it flops to the side, leaving the pompon dangling next to your ear or at your shoulder.

Why did people used to wear a nightcap in bed?

A nightcap kept your head warm in cold, unheated bedrooms. That is why it appears in old prints and fairy tales on everyone who goes to bed. Precisely that image makes the pointed cap a costume classic today: put it on and everyone immediately sees a sleepy figure in pajamas. The red-and-white stripes add a cheerful, old-fashioned touch, so that you can recognize the look from afar at a pajama party or during a Carnival parade.

Glasses, face paint and jewelry to pair with the striped cap

Round reading glasses on the tip of your nose enhance the sleepy grandfather look, especially with dark pajamas. With some red face paint on your cheeks and nose, you look like you have just rolled out of bed after a long night. Women can pair the striped cap well with a light nightgown and small pearl-like earrings, which complement the red and white of the stripes.

Order the red-and-white nightcap and go as a sleepyhead to your next pajama party or Carnival celebration.
