Pyjama Shorts for Men – Summer Sleepwear

Short answer: Pyjama shorts for men are the summer answer to pyjama bottoms: loose, light shorts that let air reach your legs on warm nights. Choose them in bamboo viscose and sweat is wicked away from the skin, so you wake up dry instead of clammy.

Loose shorts beat boxer shorts on warm nights

Many men sleep in their boxer shorts, but a pair of loose shorts in a breathable material gives more air and does not press at the groin. A pair of light bamboo shorts for men works excellently as pyjama shorts – they are soft, airy and free of irritating seams.

Combine with a light top

If you would rather not sleep bare-chested, choose a loose sleep t-shirt for men in the same breathable material. That way your upper body does not sweat while your legs are fine. Read more about how the material regulates heat in the guide to bamboo and temperature regulation.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use ordinary shorts as pyjama shorts?

Yes, if they are loose and made from a soft, breathable material without hard seams. Light bamboo shorts are well suited to sleeping in.

Why bamboo pyjama shorts rather than cotton?

Bamboo viscose wicks moisture away from the skin and dries faster than cotton, so you avoid that clammy feeling on warm summer nights.

How should pyjama shorts for men fit?

Loosely around the thighs and waist with a soft elastic. They should let you move freely when you turn over, without twisting or pressing.
