Pyjamas and Loungewear for Men
What kinds of pyjamas for men are there?
At Tom Tailor you'll find pyjamas for men in various styles: complete pyjama sets of top and bottom, separate pyjama trousers and matching tops to combine. They come both short for warm nights and long for the colder season. Most models are made of soft cotton and come in classic patterns such as check, stripes or a melange finish – in colours from blue and green through brown and grey to red and black. Exactly which material composition and length a model has is stated in each product description.
How do I recognise a high-quality men's pyjama?
You can recognise a high-quality pyjama by a pleasant, not too thin fabric, clean seams and good workmanship at the cuffs and button placket. Natural fibres such as cotton feel comfortable on the skin and are breathable. The fit matters too: a good pyjama sits comfortably without restricting you and keeps its shape after washing. An elastic waistband with a drawstring adds to a pleasant fit.
Which material is best for pyjamas?
That depends on what matters to you. The most versatile is cotton: it's soft, breathable and easy to care for, and suits the whole year. For colder nights, warmer fabrics like flannel or terry are pleasant because they hold more warmth. If you like a particularly refined, smooth feel, go for satin or silk. At Tom Tailor the pyjamas are mostly made of breathable cotton, sometimes with a share of elastane for more freedom of movement.
In which pyjama don't you sweat?
What matters is a breathable material that absorbs moisture and lets air reach the skin. Natural fibres such as cotton are especially well suited to this, while pure synthetics can make you sweat more. For warm nights a short pyjama in light cotton or jersey is ideal; for cooler ones, a longer model in a slightly thicker fabric. That keeps your body temperature comfortably balanced.
How often should you change your pyjama?
As a guideline, it's advisable to change your pyjama roughly every three to four days. Anyone who sweats more at night, or wears it during the day as loungewear, changes it more often accordingly. Fresh nightwear feels nicer on the skin and is more hygienic. A second set to switch to is therefore handy, so there's always a clean pyjama ready.
What is loungewear?
Loungewear is comfortable clothing for at home – cosy enough to relax in, but more everyday-friendly than a pure pyjama. It includes things like soft joggers, sweatshirts and hoodies in pleasant materials. Unlike classic nightwear, loungewear (also called homewear) can easily be worn without going straight to bed. It combines the comfort of sleepwear with a look you can also be seen in.
When do you wear loungewear?
You wear loungewear whenever comfort comes first: on relaxed days at home, while reading or watching series, over a leisurely weekend breakfast or in the home office. Soft joggers with a hoodie make a typical loungewear outfit; with cosy socks it's complete on cooler days. That way you're comfortably dressed at home and still ready to open the door for a moment.
