When it comes to our sleep wardrobe, pajama shorts are a must-have for a good night’s rest. These versatile and stylish alternatives to traditional pajama pants are perfect for people who want practicality, style and all-night comfort. Beyond being worn in bed, they’re also excellent to lounge at home in, to travel with or even to get in some light exercise. Here are eight compelling reasons for you to try pajama shorts, if you haven’t already.
1. Alleviate Chafing Overnight
You’ve had a busy day of walking or exercising, and now you’re experiencing irritation between your legs (aka chafing). Start by soothing the area with cool water, then make sure you’re wearing something comfortable at night to create a gentle barrier that’ll allow your skin to heal. Our Cotton shorts are suitable for sensitive skin, allowing you to move comfortably throughout the night or during a lazy day at home and letting your skin heal along the way.
2. Pajama Shorts are Perfect for Hot Sleepers
Are you the type of person who kicks off their covers in the middle of the night, only to wake up overheating? Then you definitely need a pair of pajama shorts. Unlike heat-trapping pajama pants, shorts allow for better airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable while you get your beauty rest. Many styles are made with moisture-wicking materials to combat night sweats, like our Cooling shorts (we like to call them an AC for your legs during bedtime). Wear them with a light pajama top or T-shirt to get a great night of sweat-free rest.
After a toasty night of solid sleep, you may want to ease out of your pajamas into daywear without a full outfit change, and pajama shorts make that a little easier. Want to walk your dog on a cold day or need to pick up a delivery in the early morning? Throw on a cozy sweater and a pair of sweatpants over your shorts before getting ready for the day. Our Staple shorts are a thin yet warm layer, made with ultra-soft material. If you want to get back into bed on the weekend or curl up to read after your brief outdoor moment, wearing shorts gives you options and comfort.
4. Warm Climate Staples
It goes without saying that pajama shorts are a must-have for warm climates, where full-length pajamas can feel a bit stifling. Lightweight fabrics and shorter lengths are the go-to choice for anyone trying to beat the heat. Wear your pajama shorts with a breezy tank in hot climates to ensure a cool night. Just like for hot sleepers, our Cooling shorts are perfect for warm environments too.
5. Packing Light
We’ve all packed our suitcase for a trip before and realized we forgot to pack pajamas. Faced with full carry-on luggage, the last thing we want to pack is a bulky pajama set since we’re already low on space. That’s when a pair of thin pajama shorts saves the day. Taking up very little space, the shorts ensure we still have sleep attire but can also close our suitcase to embark on our trip. Plus, they double as loungewear, a cooling or warming layer, and are even great to get a workout in because you can wash them by hand in the sink.
6. Mix and Match Your Mood With Your Pajama Pants
Pajama shorts for women come in a wide variety of colours and styles to match your mood and personality. Feeling playful? Opt for a pair of pastel or bright coloured shorts, like our Cargo shorts in our bold and bright blue Lapis hue. Want something classic? Go for neutral tones. Pajama shorts are ideal for mixing and matching with your favourite sleep tops, allowing you to customize your look to best suit your vibe.
7. Easy to Stretch and Work Out
A morning stretch feels great after a night of sleep and can set your body up for success, as you’ll start the day feeling energized and limber. Pajama shorts move easily with your body so you can just step out of bed and onto your mat to do some stretching poses with ease. Providing the flexibility you need with breathable, ultra-stretchy fabrics, you can do a few downward dogs or even get in a mat pilates workout to kick off your day. For a quick home workout, pajama shorts can easily double as activewear.
8. Pair Pajama Shorts with a Robe
We’re huge robe fans and there’s nothing more luxurious than slipping a cozy robe over your pajama shorts. This pairing is ideal for lounging around the house, enjoying a slow morning or unwinding after a bath. The perfect balance of comfortable and chic, combining pajama shorts with a warm full-length robe is the ultimate indulgence.
From preventing chafing to saving space in your suitcase, there’s no reason not to fall in love with pajama shorts.
