Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to nightwear. [Background technology]

[0002] JITO Publication No. 3016216 describes pajamas consisting of an upper and lower part. The upper part opens in the front and has a very short hem. The lower part has an open zipper. Elastic gathers are provided between the start and end points of the lower zipper. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Publication No. 3016216 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, nightwear is required to be comfortable even when the wearer turns over in their sleep. Compared to other parts of the body, the shoulder blades have a wider range of motion and therefore tend to move significantly in response to shoulder movement when turning over in their sleep. The movement of the shoulder blades can pull on the nightwear. When the nightwear is pulled, the pulled nightwear can compress the shoulder blades, causing discomfort to the wearer. Furthermore, when the wearer's upper arms move, the sleeves can pull up the body, which can also cause discomfort to the wearer. Therefore, there is a demand for nightwear that is less likely to cause discomfort when the wearer turns over in their sleep and can improve the wearer's sleeping comfort.

[0005] The present disclosure aims to provide nightwear that can improve the wearer's sleeping comfort. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The nightwear according to the present disclosure comprises a body and a pair of sleeves. The nightwear comprises a pair of elasticized sections located behind the wearer's shoulder blades and a pair of gussets located below the wearer's armpits. The body comprises an upper body section extending from between the pair of elasticized sections to below each of the elasticized sections, and a lower body section extending from the upper body section to the hem of the body section. Each elasticized section is made of a fabric with higher elasticity than the lower body section. Each gusset connects the body and each sleeve to each other and is configured to provide roominess between the body and each sleeve. The pair of elasticized sections includes a pair of curved sections that curve so that the pair of elasticized sections approach each other. Each curved section includes a proximal section where the pair of elasticized sections are closest to each other, an upper section that extends from the proximal section to the nape of the upper body, and a lower section that extends from the proximal section to the gusset. The upper and lower sections are curved so that the pair of elasticized sections move away from each other as they move away from the proximal section.

[0007] In this nightwear, a pair of stretchable sections located behind the wearer's shoulder blades are made of a fabric with higher stretchability than the lower body. By locating the stretchable sections behind the shoulder blades, the stretchable sections can more easily follow the movement of the shoulder blades. Therefore, even if the shoulder blades move when the wearer turns over in bed, the stretchable sections stretch and flexibly deform, alleviating the feeling of pressure on the shoulder blades. This reduces discomfort felt by the shoulder blades when the wearer turns over in bed. Furthermore, this nightwear has a pair of gussets located below the wearer's armpits. The pair of gussets located below the armpits creates space between the sleeves and the body, thereby reducing the discomfort felt by the body being pulled up. Therefore, even when the wearer turns over in bed, discomfort felt by the shoulder blades and upper arms is reduced, improving the wearer's sleeping comfort.

[0008] The highly stretchable fabric may be a knit material.

[0009] At least one of the upper body and the pair of gussets may be made of a fabric that is more breathable than the lower body. By making at least one of the upper body and the pair of gussets of a fabric that is more breathable than the lower body, the breathability of the wearer's upper body can be improved. Therefore, the wearer's upper body can be prevented from becoming stuffy, further improving the wearer's sleeping comfort.

[0010] The highly breathable fabric may be a mesh material.

[0011] andWhen viewed from behind the body, each of the pair of shoulder blades has a curved portion where the pair of shoulder blades face each other. Therefore, when the pair of stretchable parts of the nightwear includes a pair of curved portions, the shape of the stretchable parts can mimic the shape of the shoulder blades. Therefore, even when the wearer turns over in sleep, the shoulder blades are less likely to shift from the position of the stretchable parts, so discomfort felt by the shoulder blades can be more reliably reduced.

[0012] and When viewed from behind, the pair of scapulae are shaped to move apart toward the upper or lower end. Therefore, by curving the upper and lower parts of the stretchable portion so that they move apart as they move away from the adjacent part, the shape of the stretchable portion can mimic the shape of the scapulae. Therefore, as described above, the position of the stretchable portion makes it more difficult for the scapulae to shift, thereby more reliably reducing discomfort felt by the scapulae.

[0013] The body may include a front body. The front body may have a skin-side portion facing the wearer's skin and a see-through prevention portion covering the skin-side portion. The skin-side portion may be made of a fabric more flexible than the see-through prevention portion. The see-through prevention portion may be made of a fabric less transparent to light than the skin-side portion. In this case, the wearer's skin faces the skin-side portion made of a fabric more flexible than the see-through prevention portion. The more flexible the skin-side portion faces the wearer's skin, the more comfortable it feels to the wearer, further improving the wearer's sleeping comfort. Furthermore, the skin-side portion is covered by the see-through prevention portion made of a fabric less transparent to light than the skin-side portion. This allows private areas, etc. facing the skin-side portion to be hidden by the see-through prevention portion, which has low light transparency. Since the see-through prevention portion covers the skin-side portion and prevents exposure of private areas, etc., this nightwear can also be used as loungewear. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present disclosure, nightwear that can improve the sleep comfort of the wearer can be provided. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment of nightwear according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations will be omitted as appropriate. In addition, the drawings may be partially simplified or exaggerated for ease of understanding, and dimensions etc. are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0017] The nightwear according to the present disclosure is clothing worn when going to bed. The nightwear may be worn as loungewear before and after going to bed. The nightwear is typically pajamas, sleepwear, or a nightgown. The nightwear may be made of, for example, multiple fabrics. In this case, the nightwear may be made of two types of fabric, or may be made of three types of fabric. In the present disclosure, as an example, the nightwear is made of multiple fabrics that are connected to each other by sewing. However, the method of connecting the multiple fabrics to each other is not limited to sewing. The multiple fabrics may also be connected to each other by adhesion or welding.

[0018] Hereinafter, the forward direction as seen from the perspective of a wearer wearing the nightwear may be referred to as "front," "front side," or "forward," and the opposite direction of the forward direction may be referred to as "rear," "rear side," or "rearward." Furthermore, the left direction as seen from the perspective of a wearer wearing the nightwear may be referred to as "left," "left side," or "leftward," and the opposite direction of the left direction may be referred to as "right," "right side," or "rightward." Furthermore, the upward direction as seen from the perspective of a wearer wearing the nightwear may be referred to as "upper," "upper side," or "upper," and the opposite direction of the upward direction may be referred to as "lower," "lower side," or "lower." However, these directions are used for convenience of explanation and do not limit the position or orientation of each part.

[0019] [First embodiment] Fig. 1 is a front view showing nightwear 1 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 2 is a back view showing nightwear 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, nightwear 1 according to the first embodiment is a nightwear top.

[0020] The nightwear 1 comprises a body 1a and a pair of sleeves 1b. The body 1a is the part that wraps around the wearer's torso. The body 1a includes a front body 101 and a back body 102. The front body 101 is the part of the body 1a that is located in front of the wearer. The front body 101 is provided with a placket 110. The back body 102 is the part of the body 1a that is located behind the wearer. Each sleeve 1b is the part that wraps around the wearer's arm. In this embodiment, each sleeve 1b is a long sleeve. Each sleeve 1b extends to wrap around the upper arm and lower arm.

[0021] The front body 101 and the back body 102 extend along a first direction D1, which is the left-right direction of the wearer, and a third direction D3, which is the up-down direction of the wearer. The front body 101 and the back body 102 are positioned opposite each other across the wearer in a second direction D2, which is the front-to-back direction of the wearer. In this embodiment, the front body 101 and the back body 102 extend from one end 106 to the other end 106 between a pair of ends 106 of the body 1a in the first direction D1. The front body 101 and the back body 102 are sewn together at each end 106. The body 1a extends along a waist direction D4 of the wearer. The front body 101 and the back body 102 extend along the third direction D3 between the neckline 107 and the hem 108.

[0022] The nightwear 1 includes a pair of gussets 20. The pair of gussets 20 are positioned below the armpits of the wearer. Each gusset 20 is configured to provide space between the body 1a and each sleeve 1b below the armpits of the wearer. In this embodiment, each gusset 20 connects the body 1a and each sleeve 1b to each other.

[0023] When viewed from the second direction D2, each gusset 20 includes a short side 21, a first long side 22, a second long side 23, and a third long side 24. When viewed from the second direction D2, each gusset 20 has a substantially triangular shape. The short side 21 is located on an extension of the end 106 of the body 1a. The first long side 22 is continuous with the short side 21 and extends obliquely upward from the short side 21 toward the end of the nightwear 1 in the first direction D1. The first long side 22 extends from the upper end of the short side 21 to each sleeve 1b. In the first direction D1, the first long side 22 is the long side that forms the end of each gusset 20. For example, the first long side 22 is a folded portion of the fabric that forms the gusset 20.

[0024] The second long side 23 is a portion sewn to the body 1a of the gusset 20. The second long side 23 extends diagonally upward from the upper end of the edge 106 toward the center of the nightwear 1 in the first direction D1. The third long side 24 is a portion sewn to each sleeve 1b of each gusset 20. The third long side 24 connects the upper end of the first long side 22 and the upper end of the second long side 23 to each other.

[0025] The nightwear 1 includes a pair of stretchable sections 10. The pair of stretchable sections 10 are aligned, for example, along a first direction D1. The pair of stretchable sections 10 are located behind the wearer's shoulder blades. Each stretchable section 10 is disposed on the back body section 102. In this embodiment, each stretchable section 10 reaches at least a portion of each sleeve 1b. Each stretchable section 10 and each gusset 20 are sewn together at the second long side 23.

[0026] The back body 102 has an upper body 103 and a lower body 104. The upper body 103 extends from between a pair of elasticized sections 10 to below each elasticized section 10. For example, the upper body 103 has an inverted T-shape. In this embodiment, the upper body 103 extends from the nape 107 to each gusset 20. A long side 105, which is the boundary between the upper body 103 and the lower body 104, extends in the first direction D1. For example, the long side 105 curves upward as it approaches the center of the nightwear 1 in the first direction D1.

[0027] The upper body 103 extends below each stretchable portion 10 between a pair of gussets 20, from one gusset 20 to the other gusset 20. The upper body 103 and each gusset 20 are sewn together at the second long side 23. The long side 105 extends to the second long side 23. For example, the long side 105 curves so as to approach the stretchable portion 10 as it moves away from each gusset 20.

[0028] The lower body 104 extends from the upper body 103 to the hem 108. In this embodiment, the lower body 104 extends from the long side 105 to the hem 108. The lower body 104 includes a pair of ends 106. The lower body 104 and each gusset 20 are sewn together at the second long side 23.

[0029] FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the stretchable portion 10 in FIG. 2. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the stretchable portion 10 has a curved portion 11 facing another stretchable portion 10. A pair of curved portions 11 are lined up along the first direction D1. The pair of curved portions 11 are curved portions such that the pair of stretchable portions 10 are close to each other. The pair of stretchable portions 10 and the upper body 103 are sewn together at the pair of curved portions 11. In this embodiment, each curved portion 11 extends from the nape 107 to each gusset 20.

[0030] Each curved portion 11 includes a proximal portion 12, an upper portion 13, and a lower portion 14. The proximal portion 12 is the portion where the pair of elasticized portions 10 are closest to each other. The upper portion 13 extends from the proximal portion 12 to the nape 107. As the upper portion 13 moves away from the proximal portion 12, the pair of elasticized portions 10 extend further apart. The lower portion 14 extends from the proximal portion 12 to each gusset 20. As the lower portion 14 moves away from the proximal portion 12, the pair of elasticized portions 10 extend further apart. The lower portion 14 may be curved to move away from the lower body 104 as it approaches each gusset 20. The proximal portion 12, the upper portion 13, and the lower portion 14 are curved with different radii of curvature. For example, the radius of curvature of the lower portion 14 is greater than the radius of curvature of the upper portion 13.

[0031] Each stretchable section 10 is made of a fabric that is more stretchable than the lower body section 104. In this embodiment, the lower body section 104 is made of a woven fabric, and each stretchable section 10 is made of a knit material. Each stretchable section 10 may be made of a thinner fabric than the lower body section 104, or may be made of a mesh material.

[0032] The upper body 103 is made of, for example, a fabric that is more breathable than the lower body 104. In this embodiment, the upper body 103 is made of a mesh material. The mesh material of the upper body 103 is, for example, polyester mesh. The upper body 103 may be made of a thinner fabric than the lower body 104.

[0033] [Effects of the first embodiment] In the nightwear 1, a pair of stretchable parts 10 located behind the shoulder blades E (see FIG. 4) are made of a knit material that is more stretchable than the lower body 104. By positioning the stretchable parts 10 behind the shoulder blades E, the stretchable parts 10 can more easily follow the movement of the shoulder blades E even when the shoulder blades E move. Therefore, even if the shoulder blades E move when the wearer turns over in their sleep, the stretchable parts 10 stretch and flexibly deform, so the feeling of pressure on the shoulder blades E is alleviated. This reduces the discomfort felt by the shoulder blades E when the wearer turns over in their sleep.

[0034] The nightwear 1 includes a pair of gussets 20 located under the armpits of the wearer. The pair of gussets 20 located under the armpits creates space between the sleeves 1b and the body 1a, which reduces the discomfort felt by the body 1a being pulled up. Therefore, even if the wearer turns over in their sleep, discomfort felt in the shoulder blades E and upper arms is reduced, improving the wearer's sleeping comfort.

[0035] The upper body 103 is made of, for example, a mesh material that is more breathable than the lower body 104. By making the upper body 103 out of a mesh material, the breathability of the upper body of the wearer can be improved. Therefore, the upper body of the wearer can be prevented from becoming stuffy, and the sleeping comfort of the wearer can be further improved.

[0036] Each gusset 20 is made of, for example, a mesh material that is more breathable than the lower body 104. By making each gusset 20 out of a mesh material, it is possible to improve the breathability of the wearer's underarms. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wearer's underarms from becoming stuffy, further improving the comfort of the wearer while sleeping.

[0037] The pair of stretchable units 10 includes, for example, a pair of curved portions 11 that curve so that the pair of stretchable units 10 approach each other. FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the scapulae E of a wearer. As shown in FIG. 4, the pair of scapulae E are positioned approximately symmetrically across the center line L1 of the body. When the wearer is viewed from the second direction D2, the pair of scapulae E have curved portions E1 where the pair of scapulae E face each other. In the nightwear 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the pair of stretchable units 10 include a pair of curved portions 11, and the shape of the stretchable units 10 is modeled after the shape of the scapulae E. Therefore, even when the wearer turns over in their sleep, the scapulae E are less likely to shift from the position of the stretchable units 10, thereby more reliably reducing discomfort felt by the scapulae E.

[0038] The curved portion 11 includes a proximal portion 12, an upper portion 13, and a lower portion 14. The proximal portion 12 is the portion where the pair of stretchable portions 10 are closest to each other. The upper portion 13 extends from the proximal portion 12 to the position of the nape 107. The lower portion 14 extends from the proximal portion 12 to each gusset 20. The upper portion 13 and the lower portion 14 are curved such that the pair of stretchable portions 10 move apart as they move away from the proximal portion 12. The pair of scapulae E have shapes that move apart toward the upper end E2 or the lower end E3. Therefore, by having the upper portion 13 and the lower portion 14 curve so that they move apart as they move away from the proximal portion 12, the shape of the stretchable portions 10 mimics the shape of the scapulae E. Therefore, as described above, the scapulae E are less likely to shift from the position of the stretchable portions 10, which more reliably reduces discomfort felt by the scapulae E.

[0039] Each stretchable part 10 reaches at least a portion of each sleeve 1b. The pair of scapulae E are connected to the respective humeri at the shoulder joints E4. Because each stretchable part 10 reaches at least a portion of each sleeve 1b, the stretchable part 10 can more easily follow the movement of the scapulae E even when the upper arms move when the wearer turns over in bed. Therefore, the scapulae E are less likely to shift from the position of the stretchable part 10, which more reliably reduces discomfort felt by the scapulae E.

[0040] As a modification of the first embodiment described above, the upper body 103 does not have to be made of a fabric that is more breathable than the lower body 104. The upper body 103 and the lower body 104 may be made of the same type of fabric. For example, the upper body 103 and the lower body 104 may be made of a single piece of fabric. The upper body 103 and the lower body 104 may be made of a fabric that is less stretchable than the pair of stretchable sections 10. In this case, the pair of stretchable sections 10 are made of a fabric that is more stretchable than the upper body 103 and the lower body 104. By having the upper body 103 and the lower body 104 made of a fabric with less stretchability extending from between the pair of stretchable sections 10 to the hem 108, it is possible to prevent the nightwear 1 from losing its shape.

[0041] [Second embodiment] Fig. 5 is a front view showing nightwear 2 according to the second embodiment. Fig. 6 is a back view showing nightwear 2 according to the second embodiment. The nightwear 2 according to the second embodiment is a nightwear upper garment. The nightwear 2 comprises a body 2a and a pair of sleeves 2b. The body 2a includes a front body 201 and a back body 202. The front body 201 is provided with a placket 210.

[0042] The nightwear 2 includes adjusters 30. For example, the nightwear 2 includes a pair of adjusters 30. The pair of adjusters 30 are located at the waist of the wearer. One of the pair of adjusters 30 is located on the left side of the wearer. The other of the pair of adjusters 30 is located on the right side of the wearer. Each adjuster 30 is provided, for example, to straddle the front body 201 and the back body 202 of the nightwear 2.

[0043] 7A and 7B are enlarged views of the adjuster 30. Fig. 8A, 8B, and 8C are schematic views showing an example of how to use the adjuster 30. The adjuster 30 will be described in detail below with reference to Figs. 7 and 8.

[0044] The adjuster 30 has a belt-shaped member 31, an insertion portion 32, and a fastening portion 33. As shown in FIG. 7(B), the belt-shaped member 31 includes a portion 31a fixed to the body portion 2a and a free end portion 31b. The free end portion 31b is a portion that is not fixed to the body portion 2a. The belt-shaped member 31 extends along the waist direction D4 of the wearer. The belt-shaped member 31 extends, for example, so as to straddle the front body portion 201 and the back body portion 202 of the nightwear 2. In this embodiment, the portion 31a fixed to the body portion 2a is located in the front body portion 201. That is, the portion 31a is fixed to the front body portion 201. The belt-shaped member 31 extends from the portion 31a toward the back body portion 202 along the waist direction D4.

[0045] The insertion portion 32 has an opening 32a through which the free end portion 31b is inserted. As shown in FIG. 7A, in this embodiment, the insertion portion 32 is bag-shaped and covers at least a portion of the belt-shaped member 31. For example, the insertion portion 32 is bag-shaped and covers the entire portion 31a of the belt-shaped member 31. The insertion portion 32 extends, for example, across the front body portion 201 and the back body portion 202 of the nightwear 2. For example, the insertion portion 32 has a rectangular shape. The opening 32a of the insertion portion 32 is formed, for example, at an end in the longitudinal direction of the insertion portion 32. The end in the longitudinal direction of the insertion portion 32 is located, for example, in the back body portion 202. A portion of the free end portion 31b is exposed from the opening 32a, for example, in the back body portion 202.

[0046] The belt-shaped member 31, which has been inserted into the insertion portion 32 and folded back at the insertion portion 32, is fastened to the fastening portion 33 (see FIG. 8(C)). The free end portion 31b is provided with a hook portion 31c which is fastened to the fastening portion 33. The free end portion 31b may be provided with a plurality of hook portions 31c lined up along the waist-circumference direction D4. In this embodiment, the fastening portion 33 is a button, and the hook portion 31c is a buttonhole. The free end portion 31b is formed with a plurality of buttonholes (for example, two) lined up along the waist-circumference direction D4. As an example, the fastening portion 33 is fixed to the insertion portion 32 at a position on the front body 201 side of the nightwear 2.

[0047] When the belt-shaped member 31 is folded back at the insertion portion 32 and fastened to the fastening portion 33, the length of the body portion 2a in the waist-circumference direction D4 is reduced. FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C show the adjuster 30 as seen from behind. In FIG. 8A, the belt-shaped member 31 is not fastened to the fastening portion 33. That is, the length of the body portion 2a in the waist-circumference direction D4 is not reduced. In the waist-circumference direction D4, the length of the free end portion 31b exposed from the insertion portion 32 is shorter than the length of the belt-shaped member 31 covered by the insertion portion 32. In this embodiment, the portion where the fastening portion 33 is fixed is located on the front body portion 201 side of the nightwear 2, and is therefore not shown in FIG. 8A.

[0048] In FIG. 8(B), the free end 31b is pulled out from the insertion portion 32 more than in the state of FIG. 8(A). By pulling out the free end 31b, the portion of the front body 201 to which the portion 31a is fixed is pulled toward the back body 202. Therefore, the length of the body 2a in the waist-circumference direction D4 is reduced. At this time, the length of the free end 31b exposed from the insertion portion 32 in the waist-circumference direction D4 is equal to or greater than the length of the belt-shaped member 31 covered by the insertion portion 32. Because the portion of the front body 201 to which the portion 31a is fixed is pulled toward the back body 202, the fastening portion 33 moves from the front body 201 side to the back body 202 side.

[0049] 8(C), the belt-shaped member 31 is folded back at the insertion portion 32 and fastened to the fastening portion 33. In detail, the free end portion 31b is folded back at the opening 32a, and the hook portion 31c (buttonhole) provided at the free end portion 31b is fastened to the fastening portion 33 (button). By folding back the belt-shaped member 31 at the insertion portion 32 and fastening to the fastening portion 33, the length of the body portion 2a in the waist-circumference direction D4 is maintained in a reduced state.

[0050] As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, in this embodiment, the nightwear 2 includes a pair of roll-ups 40. Each roll-up 40 is located on each sleeve 2b. Figs. 9(A) and 9(B) are partially enlarged views of the roll-ups 40. Figs. 10(A) and 10(B) are schematic diagrams showing an example of how to use the roll-ups 40. The roll-ups 40 will be described in detail below with reference to Figs. 9 and 10.

[0051] The roll-up 40 has a belt-shaped member 41 and a fastening portion 42. The belt-shaped member 41 includes a portion 41a that is fastened to the sleeve 2b and a free end portion 41b. The free end portion 41b is a portion that is not fastened to the sleeve 2b. The belt-shaped member 41 extends from the portion 41a toward the cuff 220 of the sleeve 2b. As shown in FIG. 9(B), the belt-shaped member 41 is located on the inside of the sleeve 2b. In other words, the belt-shaped member 41 is covered by the sleeve 2b. The fastening portion 42 is located on the outside of the sleeve 2b. In this embodiment, the fastening portion 42 is a button. The free end portion 41b has a hook portion 41c. In this embodiment, the hook portion 41c is a buttonhole.

[0052] When the belt-shaped member 41 is folded back at the cuff 220 and fastened to the fastening portion 42, the length of the sleeve 2b is reduced. For example, as shown in FIG. 10(A), the length of the sleeve 2b is reduced by being rolled up. As an example, in FIG. 10(A), the sleeve 2b is rolled up by folding back the cuff 220. The sleeve 2b is rolled up until the free end 41b is exposed. For example, the length of the free end 41b exposed from the sleeve 2b is equal to or greater than the length of the belt-shaped member 41 covered by the sleeve 2b.

[0053] In Fig. 10(B), the belt-shaped member 41 is folded back at the cuff 220 and fastened to the fastening portion 42. Specifically, a hook portion 41c (buttonhole) provided at the free end portion 41b is fastened to the fastening portion 42 (button). By folding back the belt-shaped member 41 at the cuff 220 and fastening to the fastening portion 42, the length of the sleeve 2b is maintained in a shortened state. In other words, the sleeve 2b is maintained in a rolled-up state.

[0054] [Effects of the second embodiment] As shown in Figures 5, 6 and 8, the nightwear 2 includes an adjuster 30 located at the waist of a wearer of the nightwear 2. The adjuster 30 includes a belt-shaped member 31, an insertion portion 32, and a fastening portion 33. When the belt-shaped member 31 is folded back at the insertion portion 32 and fastened to the fastening portion 33, the length of the body portion 2a in the waist direction D4 is reduced. Therefore, by folding back and fastening the belt-shaped member 31 inserted into the insertion portion 32, the length of the body portion 2a in the waist direction D4 can be reduced, thereby tightening the waist portion of the wearer's body portion 2a.

[0055] FIG. 11 is a front view showing nightwear 2 whose dimensions have been adjusted using the adjuster 30 and the roll-up fasteners 40. As shown in FIG. 11, the nightwear 2 according to this embodiment has the waist portion of the top tightened by the adjuster 30, thereby tightening the waist portion of the body portion 2a without tucking the hem of the nightwear 2 into the pants. This prevents the wearer from catching a cold while sleeping and prevents the garment from becoming messy. Furthermore, since the hem does not need to be tucked into the pants, the wearer's appearance is not unattractive. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the belt-shaped member 31 is not fastened to the fastening portion 33, the length of the body portion 2a in the waist direction D4 is not shortened. When the length of the body portion 2a in the waist direction D4 is not shortened, the waist portion of the body portion 2a is not tightened, allowing the wearer to wear the nightwear 2 loosely. This allows the nightwear 2 to be worn in a stress-free manner. Before going to bed, the wearer can adjust the length of the body 2a in the waist direction D4 by folding back the belt-shaped member 31 at the insertion part 32 and fastening it to the fastening part 33, or by not fastening it, thereby improving the wearer's sleeping comfort.

[0056] The insertion part 32 is, for example, bag-shaped and covers at least a part of the belt-shaped member 31. By covering at least a part of the belt-shaped member 31 with the bag-shaped part of the insertion part 32, the hanging part of the belt-shaped member 31 can be made less visible, thereby improving the appearance of the wearer. Furthermore, since the exposed part of the belt-shaped member 31 can be reduced, the belt-shaped member 31 can be prevented from getting caught. Therefore, the discomfort felt by the wearer due to the belt-shaped member 31 getting caught can be more reliably reduced, contributing to further improvement in sleeping comfort.

[0057] The fastening portion 33 is, for example, a button, and a buttonhole is formed in the belt-shaped member 31. In this case, the buttonhole of the belt-shaped member 31 is fastened to the button of the fastening portion 33, making it even more difficult for the belt-shaped member 31 to come off the fastening portion 33.

[0058] For example, one of the pair of adjusters 30 is located on the wearer's left side. The other of the pair of adjusters 30 is located on the wearer's right side. In this case, since an adjuster 30 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the wearer's waist, the size in the waist direction D4 can be adjusted while wearing the nightwear 2. By providing an adjuster 30 on each of the left and right sides of the wearer's waist, the size in the waist direction D4 can be adjusted on each side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the left and right portions of the wearer's waist appear to be slimmer, making the wearer of the nightwear 2 look more stylish.

[0059] The nightwear 2 includes a pair of roll-ups 40. Each roll-up 40 is located on each sleeve 2b. Each roll-up 40 includes a belt-shaped member 41 and a fastening portion 42. When the belt-shaped member 41 is folded back at the cuffs 220 and fastened to the fastening portion 42, the length of the sleeves 2b is shortened. Therefore, the wearer can wear the nightwear 2 as loungewear by adjusting the sleeves 2b to three-quarter length, for example.

[0060] As a modification of the second embodiment described above, the nightwear 2 does not have to include a pair of adjusters 30. The nightwear 2 may include one or three or more adjusters 30. The adjuster 30 may be located at the rear (back side) of the wearer, or at the front of the wearer.

[0061] The insertion portion 32 does not have to be bag-shaped, and may be formed as a ring-shaped insertion portion having an opening through which the free end portion 31b is inserted.

[0062] Instead of the fastening portion 33 being a button, a fastening portion being a hook-and-loop fastener or a snap button may be provided. The belt-shaped member 31 may include a free end portion 31b extending in one direction from the portion 31a in the waist-circumference direction D4 and a free end portion 31b extending in the other direction from the portion 31a. The fastening portion 33 does not have to be fixed to the insertion portion 32. The fastening portion 33 may be fixed to the body portion 2a. For example, the fastening portion 33 may be fixed to the free end portion 31b extending in the other direction. The fastening portion 33 may be the free end portion 31b extending in the other direction. In this case, the free end portion 31b extending in one direction and the free end portion 31b extending in the other direction are connected together, so that the free end portion 31b extending in the other direction functions as the fastening portion 33.

[0063] [Third embodiment] FIG. 12 is a front view showing a nightwear top 3A of the nightwear 3 according to the third embodiment. FIG. 13 is a partially cutaway view of the see-through prevention section 61 provided on the nightwear top 3A of FIG. 12. FIG. 15 is a front view showing a nightwear bottom 3B of the nightwear 3. As shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 15, the nightwear 3 includes a nightwear top 3A and a nightwear bottom 3B. The nightwear 3 has skin-side sections 51, 52 and see-through prevention sections 61, 62. The skin-side sections 51, 52 are sections that face the wearer's skin. The see-through prevention sections 61, 62 are sections that cover the skin-side sections 51, 52. The skin-side sections 51, 52 are provided to face the wearer's private parts.

[0064] The nightwear upper garment 3A comprises a body 3a and a pair of sleeves 3b. The body 3a includes a front body 301 and a back body facing the opposite side of the front body 301. The front body 301 is provided with a placket 310.

[0065] In the nightwear upper garment 3A, the front body 301 has a skin-side portion 51 and an opacity prevention portion 61. The skin-side portion 51 and the opacity prevention portion 61 are portions sewn to the front body 301. FIG. 13 shows a state in which the opacity prevention portion 61 has been cut out at the portion of the breaking line C1. As shown in the cut-out portion of the opacity prevention portion 61 in FIG. 13, the skin-side portion 51 is arranged to face the chest of the wearer, for example. The opacity prevention portion 61 is arranged to cover the skin-side portion 51.

[0066] Figure 14 is an enlarged view of the skin-side portion 51 as viewed from the inside of the nightwear top 3A. As shown in Figure 14, when viewed from the inside of the nightwear top 3A, the skin-side portion 51 includes a first long side 51a, a second long side 51b, a short side 51c, a third long side 51d, and a fourth long side 51e. When viewed from the inside of the nightwear top 3A, the skin-side portion 51 has a generally pentagonal shape. The first long side 51a, the third long side 51d, and the fourth long side 51e are sewn to the front body piece 301 of the skin-side portion 51. The first long side 51a extends along the placket 310.

[0067] The second long side 51b and the first long side 51a face each other in the first direction D1. The second long side 51b is the portion of the skin side portion 51 that is sewn to the sleeve 3b. The skin side portion 51 and the sleeve 3b are sewn to each other at the second long side 51b. The short side 51c extends downward from the lower end of the second long side 51b. The short side 51c is located at the end of the front body 301 in the first direction D1. The short side 51c is the portion that is sewn to, for example, the back body of the nightwear 3.

[0068] The third long side 51d and the fourth long side 51e extend, for example, along the first direction D1. The third long side 51d connects the upper end of the first long side 51a to the upper end of the second long side 51b. The fourth long side 51e connects the lower end of the first long side 51a to the lower end of the second long side 51b. The third long side 51d and the fourth long side 51e face each other along the third direction D3.

[0069] 13, the see-through prevention part 61 includes a short side 61a, a first long side 61b, a second long side 61c, and a third long side 61d. The short side 61a, the first long side 61b, and the second long side 61c are parts of the see-through prevention part 61 that are sewn to the front body piece 301. The short side 61a extends along the placket 310. The short side 61a may be positioned so as to overlap with the first long side 51a of the skin side part 50.

[0070] The first long side 61b and the short side 61a face each other in the first direction D1. The first long side 61b is located at the end of the front body 301 in the first direction D1. The first long side 61b may be arranged to overlap with the second long side 51b of the skin side portion 50. The second long side 61c connects the upper end of the short side 61a and the upper end of the first long side 61b to each other. The second long side 61c may be arranged to overlap with the short side 51c of the skin side portion 50.

[0071] The third long side 61d connects the bottom end of the short side 61a and the bottom end of the first long side 61b. The third long side 61d is the bottom end of the see-through prevention part 61. In the third direction D3, the third long side 61d is located lower than the fourth long side 51e. At the position of the third long side 61d, the see-through prevention part 61 is not sewn to the front body 301. At the position of the third long side 61d, an opening is formed between the see-through prevention part 61 and the front body 301. The dimension of the third long side 61d is larger than the dimension of the portion of the front body 301 covered by the see-through prevention part 61. The see-through prevention part 61 is sewn to the front body 301 so as to hang down from the second long side 61c. A drape is formed in the see-through prevention part 61. In other words, the see-through prevention part 61 forms a frill.

[0072] As shown in Fig. 15, the nightwear lower garment 3B is, for example, in the form of long pants. The nightwear lower garment 3B includes a crotch section 3c and a pair of crotch sections 3d. The crotch section 3c covers the wearer's lower abdomen and the base of the wearer's thighs. Each crotch section 3d covers from the base of the wearer's thighs to the wearer's ankles.

[0073] The nightwear lower garment 3B has a skin-closed portion 52 and a see-through prevention portion 62. The skin-closed portion 52 is arranged to face the wearer's lower abdomen and the base of the thighs. For example, the skin-closed portion 52 is in the form of shorts. The see-through prevention portion 62 is arranged to cover the skin-closed portion 52. For example, the see-through prevention portion 62 is arranged to cover the wearer's lower abdomen to the ankles. For example, the see-through prevention portion 62 is in the form of long pants. The skin-closed portion 52 and the see-through prevention portion 62 are sewn together at the upper end 331 of the crotch 3c. As an example, the nightwear lower garment 3B is long pants having a lining made up of the skin-closed portion 52 and an outer fabric made up of the see-through prevention portion 62.

[0074] The skin side portions 51, 52 are made of a fabric that is more flexible than the see-through prevention portions 61, 62. For example, the skin side portions 51, 52 may be made of a thinner fabric than the see-through prevention portions 61, 62. The skin side portions 51, 52 may be made of towel fabric. The material of the fabric making up the skin side portions 51, 52 may be silk, for example.

[0075] The see-through prevention parts 61, 62 are made of a fabric that has lower light transmittance than the skin side parts 51, 52. For example, the see-through prevention parts 61, 62 may be made of a thicker fabric than the skin side parts 51, 52. For example, the body 3a and sleeves 3b excluding the skin side part 51 are made of the same fabric as the see-through prevention parts 61, 62.

[0076] [Effects of the third embodiment] The body part 3a includes a front body part 301. The front body part 301 has a skin-side part 51 that faces the wearer's skin and an opaque part 61 that covers the skin-side part 51. The skin-side part 51 is made of a fabric that is more flexible than the opaque part 61. The opaque part 61 is made of a fabric that is less light-transmitting than the skin-side part 51. Therefore, the wearer's skin faces the skin-side part 51, which is made of a fabric that is more flexible than the opaque part 61. Since the highly flexible skin-side part 51 faces the wearer's skin, the wearer feels comfortable against the skin, further improving the wearer's sleeping comfort. Furthermore, the skin-side part 51 is covered by the opaque part 61, which is made of a fabric that is less light-transmitting than the skin-side part 51. This allows private areas, etc., facing the skin-side part 51 to be hidden by the opaque part 61, which has low light transmittance. The see-through prevention part 61 covers the skin-side part 51, thereby preventing the exposure of private areas, etc., so the nightwear 3 can also be used as loungewear. The same effect as above can be obtained from the nightwear lower garment 3B having the skin-side part 52 and the see-through prevention part 62.

[0077] Various embodiments of the nightwear according to the present disclosure have been described above. However, the nightwear according to the present disclosure is not limited to the various embodiments described above and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the gist of the claims. In other words, the nightwear is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified as appropriate. The nightwear according to the present disclosure may be a combination of two or more of the first, second, and third embodiments described above. [Explanation of symbols]
