A nightcap is a cloth cap worn with other nightwear such as pajamas, a onesie, a nightshirt, or a nightgown; historically worn in the cold climates of Northern Europe. Nightcaps are somewhat similar to knit caps worn for warmth outdoors.
A nightshirt is a garment intended for wear while sleeping, often with a nightcap. It is longer than most regular shirts, reaching down below the knees, [1] leaving some of the legs uncovered. It is often referred to as a nightgown for men, but nowadays, nightshirts are an optional sleepwear for women too.
The Dictionary of Fashion History highlights the use of the term "nightgown" as early as 1530, when French linguist John Palsgrave [3] [failed verification] translates "sloppe" to nightgown in his own textbook.

Nightwear – also called sleepwear, or nightclothes – is clothing designed to be worn while sleeping.

Some styles or materials are selected to be visually appealing or erotic in addition to their functional purposes.
