Men's Lounge and Pajama Bottoms

Some nights call for flannel. Some mornings call for something lighter. Men's pajama bottoms cover the full range, from cozy fleece sleep pants built for cold nights to men's loungewear you can wear well past noon. The fits are relaxed, the fabrics are soft, and none of them require a second thought to pull on.

Shorts or Pants, Pick Your Temperature

Warmer months and warmer rooms have their own answer: men's lounge shorts. They wear light, move easy, and work just as well on the couch as they do on a late-night snack run. Cooler temps are a different story, and that's where a heavier pajama bottom earns its place.

• Elastic waistbands with a drawstring give you a fit that adjusts without any effort.
• Lounge shorts hit above the knee for a relaxed, unrestrictive feel through the leg.

Built to Layer With What You've Got

A good pajama bottom pairs with almost anything already in your rotation. Throw them on with a worn-in graphic tee or a crewneck sweatshirt and the look handles itself. For the nights where you want to keep things consistent from top to bottom, ultra-soft boxer shorts work just as well under the covers. Slide on a pair of men's slippers and the whole fit comes together without any extra effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between pajama pants and lounge pants?

Pajama pants are cut specifically for sleep, usually in softer fabrics like flannel or fleece with a looser fit through the leg. Lounge pants tend to be a bit more structured and can transition from the couch to a quick errand without looking out of place.

How should men's pajama bottoms fit?

They should feel relaxed through the waist and thigh without excess fabric bunching at the ankle. A drawstring waist helps dial in the fit without sizing up or down.

Do flannel pajama bottoms shrink after washing?

Flannel can shrink slightly in a hot wash. Washing in cold water and tumble drying on low helps them hold their size and softness longer.
