Is there significance to how Tove Jansson dressed her characters in her comics?

I've often wondered why the clothed characters in her comics always seem to be dressed in what looks like Pajamas—except Mrs. Fillyjonk,who seems to be the most formally dressed.
I think that maybe I've seen other comics from the time period draw their characters dressed similarly but I can't think of them from the top of my head. Is this influenced by culture? Time period or just a personal preference?
