Yahoo News Best mens pyjamas 2021: comfortable sleepwear and loungewear
Men’s nightwear has had something of a revival in recent years, taking a full circle approach to more traditional loungewear.
Not only are pyjama sets officially back en vogue but they are also the perfect antidote to working from home blues where you really can’t own enough pairs.
Any good homebody knows there needs to be a real distinction between your day pjs and the clothes that you wear at night to ensure that when you make the switch, you are letting go of all the stress and troubles of the day and signalling the start of a relaxed and undisturbed sleep.
We’ve gathered pyjamas for every type of lounger, from the Zoom-appropriate attire, to the lazy Sunday morning two-piece. Forget your sloppy old tracksuits, these sets are sleeker, smarter and far more sophisticated. There are even options for every taste, whether you like trousers or shorts, silk, cotton or fleece and with bolder or more traditional designs.
Shop our selection of pyjamas for every budget, from the most luxurious, to the essential basics for a great night’s sleep.
Derek Roseâ Men’s Classic Fit Pyjamas
Classic, elegant and sophisticated, the timeless pjs from Derek Rose will become a mainstay in your evening wear. Yes, they are an investment but we think you’ll find it’s worth it once you feel the sumptuously soft satin fabrication. Crafted from a brushed cotton, there are a range of designs available from your classic check to your eye-popping Hawaiian print. The sets are made up of a collared top and the matching elasticated trousers.

Loungewear at its finest, you will find this combination is the perfect balance between style and comfort with a soft organic cotton material.
ASOS DESIGN lounge t-shirt and short pyjama set in tonal colours
For hot sleepers and humid summer evenings, a shorts and tee set may be more fitting and this option from ASOS puts a tonal twist on the design for a universally appealing combo set. The pyjama set has a minimalistic design that nails the basics. It is composed of a soft cotton jersey fabric that has been responsibly sourced.
The White Company Men’s Pyjama Top, Bottoms and Shorts

Uniqlo Men Airism Cotton Pyjamas
If you don’t already own a piece of Uniqlo loungewear - run, don’t walk. The brand does basics and does them very well, which extends to the nightwear offering too. This matching set - that is available in black, grey or navy - is perfect for those who prefer a muted colour palette. Detail comes in the form of the contrast piping. The pieces themselves are crafted in a cotton with just the right amount of stretch.
ASOS DESIGN lounge t-shirt and soft check trousers pyjama set
This set from ASOS will make a core addition to your nightwear rotation. It has a laid back feel with unrestrictive, loose comfort. The affordable and cosy set is made up of a check trouser and plain t-shirt but can be mixed and matched to your heart’s content.

If you’re looking for a breathable and understated set, the Poplin options from Gap should be on your radar. The set is made up of the top of your choosing and elasticated trousers. For the latter, there are three designs to choose between in tonal shades of blue or black. The pieces have a casual comfort look with a cosy cotton fabric.
M&S Pure Cotton Striped Pyjama Set
Who said that you had to sacrifice style for cosiness? This option from M&S combines the best of both worlds with a timeless stripe design and a soft cotton-blend composition. It has a lightweight construction to keep you cool while you sleep but still remains warm on those cool autumn nights. As an added bonus, they are made from ethically sourced cotton.
Pajama Set in Flannel Gingham
At the moment, our sleep cycle needs all the help it can get and this set could be the difference between a comfortable doze and a restless night. The pjs have a classic gingham pattern and a cosy cotton construction. It is made up of a shirt with matching elasticated drawstring trousers.
Men's Grey Linen Pyjama Trouser Set
Minimalist but stylish, these pjs have an all-over neutral grey design crafted entirely from natural stone washed flax with a chic navy piping. After a long, hard day at work, there are few things more satisfying than slipping on this cosy set.
Christopher Kane More Joy-print silk-satin pyjamas
It doesn’t get much more luxe than a set of silk pyjamas. Whether you are embodying the sleepwear as outerwear trend or looking to elevate your Sunday morning sofa game, this set from London-based designed Christopher Kane will bring a designer touch. It is made up of a button-front shirt and elasticated trousers in a relaxed fit - both of which are cut from silk-satin. The shirt is further embellished with the More Joy motif (inspired by Alex Comfort’s 1972 manual The Joy of Sex) at the breast.
Liberty Liddell Tana Lawn Cotton Pyjama Set
Up the ante of your nightwear by injecting a Liberty print into the mix. This set from the luxury department store is adorned with their archival bird and floral-adorned Liddell design on a breathable and soft Tana Lawn cotton construction. The brand explains that the print takes inspiration from a 1930s “baroque pastoral layout with a young musician surrounded by floral and fauna” and features a Wells shirt with notched lapels and Dover trousers with an adjustable drawstring waist.
Verdict
If designer loungewear is what you are after, it doesn't get much more classic or sophisticated than Derek Rose and the Pure Cotton Pyjamas. But if you are looking for something at the lower end of the price spectrum, we cannot resist the John Lewis Striped Set or the cosy but elegant option from Ralph Lauren.
