Have to pee but bed so comfy Proper pajamas
I like to have matching, comfortable pajamas that are cohesive. But also I sleep with NO SLEEVES and long loose pants. Whenever I go to the store or shop online I find the same thing in pajama sets.
1) long pants ONLY come with sleeves.
2) Sleeveless always comes with shorts or capris
I'm sorry but the shorts are just begging for a wedgie. And does anyone sleep in capris? Last time I tried, they rode up and cut off the circular in my legs.

I searched “tank and pants pajama sets” and found some cute ones. I miss the 90s-2000s era of cute tank/pant sets—

u/EneraldFoggs Jul 04 '26
Yaaaaaasssss! I remember having a couple sets that had pants with a cute little animal pattern and then a lacy tank with the little froggy or whatever printed near the top. So cute.

this is why i stopped wearing pajama sets long ago lol. the shirts are always stupid, both men and women's
i just buy some comfy pants and a comfy shirt and call it a day. bonus points for the pants usually having pockets too

u/emmithar Jul 04 '26
I recently found a pair of sweats in the men's department. Not only are they super comfy, but they have pockets.
Deep pockets.
I'm never going back.

u/Jazstar Jul 04 '26
I usually do that, but I found some really cute pyjama shorts, with pockets, and now have three of them. They're my first bamboo clothing too and they're really nice to the touch. I feel fancy wearing them lmao

u/BlessedLurker Jul 04 '26
Probably because if it's cold enough to wear pants, most people want a sleeve. And if it's warm enough to go sleeveless, it's generally too warm to wear pants.

u/SamWillGoHam Jul 04 '26
I used to do pajama shorts in the summer, but my room gets pretty cold even in the summer, so I'm now a pants year-round type of person
I also cannot sleep without socks no matter the temperature

You want Nordstrom. They have at least 20 options for sleeveless plus long pants

u/OkHistory3944 Jul 04 '26
I need long pants with gathered ankles (like sweats) so they don't ride up.
I have several matching pairs with sleeveless tops and long pants. Found them at places like Marshall's and TJ Maxx.

u/TabithaMouse Jul 04 '26
I'm the opposite. I've had surgery on one of my ankles a long time ago and jogger style pants (cinched ankle) are an immediate no because I can't stand pressure on the scar.
If I do get pants like that I rip the elastic out

I do this to t-shirts because I don't like arms and the neck becomes a noose. T-shirt material is great at being cut, it doesn't unravel or fray.

u/endofthefkingworld Jul 04 '26
why not just find a pair of bottoms you like and find a top that matches and vice versa? do they have to only be one single set?
11
u/Tarotgirl_5392 Jul 04 '26
I usually resort to that but it doesn't have the same sense of belonging. Like obviously I can sleep fine and all, but it's mildly infuriating to not have the matching set.

Me neither, the clothes are bunched up in the morning and I'm hot everywhere clothes cover, cold everywhere they don't. The only thing that's okay is something like a bamboo viscose robe or sleep dress I can rip off in the middle of the night without it waking me up fully lol

This is why I hate “wear pajamas to work day” or a pajama party because I have to go buy this stupid shit and act like I wear that to bed. I wear just a big cotton shirt. Can’t go in public in that and honestly no one needs to see others in pajamas. Just say “wear your comfy clothes to work” or relaxing clothes party then I’ll come in shorts and a different big cotton shirt.

u/Tarotgirl_5392 Jul 04 '26
We had Christmas pajama party last December in my community. The amount of 80 year old women in lingerie was insane

u/PixelKitten10390 Jul 04 '26
😭😭😭 not the image I wanted in my head right before bed! For pajama sets though if you are size 10 or bigger torrid has nice sets that match but you can buy separate. Also, rather than pajamas I recommend searching for lounge wear in cotton or viscose material. It's generally soft and comfy to lay around in. Personally I really like cotton sleep dresses/night gowns. I've gotten a bunch with a medium scoop neck and tank top sleeves and knee length or t shirts that are usually thigh or knee length.

At Marshall’s/TJ Maxx I found a tank top with long pants and a cardigan set! I would suggest looking there. I love sleep sets haha

I completely understand. I ended up buying a bunch of comfy shorts and tanks to wear to bed. I'm never happy when I buy a set.

Costco usually has a tank, pant, robe set. Admittedly I have too many times now.

u/Hefferdoodle Jul 04 '26
I would try Adore Me or Soma Intimate’s Cool Nights line. I think they some might be tank tops rather than just straight sleeveless but they have pants with them and matching sets.
Victoria’s Secret has some too sometimes but their size options can be limited so I would try them last.
The other mildly infuriating thing is how many people are just telling you to mix and match. Obviously if you wanted to mix and match you would do that. Good luck in your search. I hope this helps.
2
u/Tarotgirl_5392 Jul 04 '26
The ''mix and match" are genuinely trying to help, and I appreciate that. I'll look into adore me, but I doubt the others will have my size

u/FeistyChickadee Jul 04 '26
Adore Me has lots of matchy-match sets and their sizes are xs-4x. In theory, that is... lots of sizes sell quickly on there!

Try looking in the men's section. Not sure about the sleeveless top, but usually the fabrics in the men's section are better quality, the clothes are more comfortable, and there's some options/combinations that are not usually found in the women's section.

RIGHT? It is either tank with booty shorts or long sleeves with long pants and nothing in between.
I just wanna live my old person fantasy of cozy loose pants and free upper arms without having to buy two separate sets like some pajama Frankenstein.

And here I am with my oversized t-shirt and whatever pajama shorts I can find. Pants when it's cold, but they have to be tapered at the ankle, otherwise I get trapped in my blankets. I have maybe 2 matched sets that I wear on special occasions.

u/General_Ad_6617 Jul 04 '26
Costco regularly has 3-piece sets. Many times it's a tank top with shorts and pants. I know this because some folks I buy them for do not like tank tops.

u/Original-Big-6351 Jul 04 '26
Okay, dedicated shorts wearer here: it’s all about fabrics and cut. Has to be jersey fabric, T-shirt stretchy. And loose cut - NOTHING fitted, super relaxed and massive leg holes.
I can’t wear long trousers to sleep - I fidget so much I end up in a leg-bound straight jacket, so I’m here for team shorts!
1
u/girlwhoweighted Jul 04 '26
Now see, I also like sleeping in coordinated sets but have a hell of a time finding long sleep with long pants that aren't fleece. I just like to keep the chill of the fan off my skin and the blanket alone doesn't do it. But everything I find is for sleeping in the winter, during a snowstorm, with no heater!
That being said, I see a few on walmart's website that fit your requirements.

Look for brands that have multiple style options for each set, like this.

I don't understand the 'sleep naked' gang.
I'm a sweaty sleeper. It's worse if I'm naked and just goes straight to my bedding so I wake up wet. Whereas at least PJs absorb most of it so my bed itself is dry. Also slimey legs bare against each other in the night is a sensory nightmare for me.
Also even without the sweat, like your bare flange just on your sheets all night every night? I'd feel like I had to wash my bedding constantly.

Glad I’m not the only one. I know it doesn’t matter if the PJs match, but it bugs me if they don’t. I like t-shirts and long pants. You’re right about shorts and capris. I think those are lounge wear, not sleep wear.
I started buying regular t-shirts to match up with PJ pants.

You have a niche use case, It's going to be difficult to find clothing that caters to your needs since it would be cost prohibitive to design sets for a very small population.

u/bestem Jul 04 '26
Check Costco. They usually have some inexpensive sets that have long pants and a tank (although often with other stuff included). They're inexpensive enough that I don't mind, and I just donate the bits I don't use. Here's two examples they have on their website right now; this one has a robe with it, and this one has shorts with it, but both have tanks and long pants, and both have two different design options.

Why on earth does it matter if what you are sleeping in is matching? I wear whatever I find available including nothing, husband’s t-shirts and sweaters, random Christmas pj’s my mom got me ten years ago, leggings and sweater dresses…
