Men’s pyjama trousers: make the set your own

You do not need to replace all your nightwear because your trousers need renewing. Separate pyjama trousers let you keep your favourite T-shirt or pyjama top and choose the bottom half on its own. They are also a simple way to try another fabric without buying a complete set.

When do separate pyjama trousers make sense?

Choose separates if you already know which top you prefer. Perhaps you like a simple T-shirt; perhaps you wear different tops with the seasons. You may also prefer a different size on the bottom from the top. In that case, explore separates rather than trying to make one set meet both needs.

If you want a coordinated top and bottom, a pyjama set is the natural place to begin. The main difference is how much you want to put together yourself.

Rome: a separate cotton option

Rome pyjama trousers are made from 100% organic cotton. Their fine piping adds a classic detail. Consider the specific variant alongside the top you plan to wear.

Rome is worth considering as a separate bottom half for a top you already wear. Compare the photographs of your chosen variant with that top before deciding. The same colour name does not guarantee that shades will match exactly.

Oslo: for those who enjoy the soft surface of flannel

Oslo pyjama trousers are made from 100% organic cotton flannel. They are described as soft and insulating. Consider them if you already like the feel of flannel.

Think about the top you will wear with them, too. If you enjoy a light T-shirt but want a more enveloping feel around your legs, you can choose each piece for its own purpose. You do not have to wear the same fabric from top to toe.

Compare with trousers that genuinely fit well

Use pyjama trousers you already enjoy as a starting point. Jeans are less useful for comparison if you want a very different fit at night. Check the sizing information for the individual design and distinguish body measurements from garment measurements.

• Waist: Consider where you like the waistband to sit and how it feels when you are seated.
• Hips and thighs: There should be the room you want, including when you bend your legs.
• Length: The hem should not get in the way when you walk. Extra length is not the same as a more relaxed fit.

Look at the photographs and the product's waistband details before buying.

Keep the combination simple

Begin with one pair of trousers and a top you already wear. Try them together sitting down and moving about. Does the top ride up? Does too much fabric gather at the waist? Or do the pieces work as you would like? This tells you more than simply checking the colours in a mirror.

You will find Rome and Oslo alongside other separates in the homewear collection. Choose the trousers for their fabric and fit, and let the top be your own choice. A good set does not have to be bought as a set.
