Nightcap (garment)
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. Design Women's night caps were usually a long piece of cloth wrapped around the head, or a triangular cloth tied under the chin. Men's nightcaps were traditionally pointed hats with a long top, sometimes with a pom-pom on the end. The long end could be used like a scarf to keep the back of the neck warm. History From the Middle Ages to the 20th century, nightcaps were worn in Northern Europe, such as the British Isles and Scandinavia, especially during the cold winters before central heating became available. People tended to think that cold air was harmful, so a nightcap protected them.
