The change from summer to winter nightwear

Short answer: Most people change nightwear by the season, but the temperature of the bedroom is the right measure. Change when you wake up cold or clammy, not by the calendar.

The room rather than the season

A bedroom with the window open all year needs the same nightwear in May and October. Go by the temperature of the room.

Mixed sets

Many people wear a thin top with long bottoms in the transition. That is an easier adjustment than changing the whole set.

Summer

In summer short models and nightdresses are used. See bamboo night shorts for women.

Winter

In winter long sets are used. See bamboo nightwear for women.

For men

See both in bamboo nightwear for men and pyjama bottoms for men.

The bedding changes too

The weight of the duvet matters more than the nightwear. See bamboo bedding.

Storage

Pack away the set you are not using completely clean and dry. See storing bamboo clothing.

How many sets you need over a year

Two thin sets for summer and two long ones for winter cover a whole year for most people. Then you can wash without going short in either season. See nightwear.
