Introduction
After receiving what can only be described as some of the world’s most disgusting pyjamas for Christmas (I won’t label from whom), I decided I wasn’t prepared to go through a nightwear nightmare any longer.
The desire to look good in bed shouldn’t only apply to sex. The majority of men couldn’t care less about how they look when they are asleep, but here’s an idea, your partner might. Sleeping naked is great, and also very comfortable. It’s one of the few times men should be allowed to take a nod from cavemen. However, realising long cold nights and my desire to purchase a fur coat to ensure a good nights sleep, it’s time we address.
Nightwear Guide
Nightwear does not necessarily (and certainly not indefinitely) mean unattractive pyjamas, accompanied by hideous thermal socks. As unlikely as it is to see a collection of nightwear at London Fashion Week, there is a myriad of options out there to choose from.
Chequered lounge pants
Every shop I look in is always fronting chequered bottoms in the pyjama parade. Unlike my usual, innate drive to steer clear of the norm, I find myself wanting a pair more and more.
Wearing a bold pattern only requires a plain counterpart in your outfit, or alternatively, other garments in the same pattern. Trying to find two different patterns to work together is hard, even for the most fashion forward among us.
Modal Lounge pant – Best find
On the way to the land of nod, how about stopping off at ASOS and picking up a pair of these Ralph Lauren, modal lounge bottoms? Modal – in layman’s terms – means they are soft and smooth, adding that extra comfort requirement when trying to knock out some z’s.
The Dressing Gown
There are really only two types of dressing gown a man could need.
The thicker, fleecy sort for the winter, and then a lighter alternative for cooler nights. Not all men may be comfortable wearing a silky, oriental inspired robe, but I know what my fence-jumping sheep will be wearing in my dreams tonight.
Leather Slippers
After wearing this season’s weighty military attire, there is nothing I long for more than a chance to relax and maybe have a foot spa at the end of the day. So why not give your feet a treat, and still look stylish in a pair of luxurious leather slippers?
FashionBeans insider tip: Coating the inside of your slippers with talcum powder can help skirt around any danger of kicking up a smell and also keep your well groomed feet smooth to the touch.
Underwear
Guys of all ages should be looking to wrap their manhood up in the best possible packaging.
The appearance of your underwear is vital. Imagine the embarrassment of going out dressed to the nines, pulling some really hot guy/girl then revealing the tatty [not so] pulling pants you’ve had for eight years.
The thong/tanga is risky if you don’t have the body (and bum) to pull it off – metaphorically speaking of course. It works well for young, athletic/slim guys – they can afford to be a bit risky with their clothing.
Boxers work well for men of all ages, depending on what type you purchase. They can work as silhouette sculptors. Body-shaping boxers are a useful tool for men who are carrying more weight on their thighs and hips. New ranges of boxers are being pushed out every year to enhance the size of your package, make your bum look good and do everything just short of cleaning the car.
Briefs again are a tricky one. Because they are quite loose fitting in the crotch area, getting the perfect fit is essential. Wearing them too big will just reduce the appearance of your bulge and leave you feel like you’re walking a tight rope without a safety net. Equally if worn too tight, it’s a known fact that ‘it’ will fall off. Okay we kid. Overly tight underwear will just highlight the exact shape and size of your manhood, which for some guys is not the desired look – maybe you wish it had just fallen off?
Emporio Armani & UnderU
Fashion house Armani has announced that Rafael Nadal is to be the new face (and body) for their Emporio Armani Underwear & Jeans line:
“UnderU being the largest online purveyor of Emporio Armani underwear (both basic and fashion ranges), we will have the new season fashion images of Nadal before anyone else and we will give the UnderU customer sneak peaks of the King of Clay and his rippling torso as soon as we have them – New Balls Please”

An absolutely great article! Definitely agree with the plaid/checked trousers with some form of plain top! FatFace also has some good quality printed ones similar to those above and are great for winter! Once again, great article!
good article. i also think its important – not so much for in the bed, but for the lounge time leading up to it. Afterall, you never know which late night visitor is gonna turn up! ;). The ralph lauren lounge pants are a fave of mine…with a nice slim plain top. i appreciate nice nightwear on women, so of course they’d appreciate a little back.
i get that this website shows garments from designers but what about the companies that ACTUALLY specialiase in this area? I mean loungewear and underwear styles, there are loads of companies that specialise in this field and offer MUCH better cuts, styles, fabrics, colours etc. Calvin Klein is a given but EA, as an example, don’t generally do innovative underwear and loungewear styles.
Fashionbeans – as a tip, here are a few good lounge/underwear companies:
Andrew Christian, N2N, 2Xist, Unico, Aussiebum, Timoteo, Narciso…
These companies offer undies to both gay men but also and importantly straight men too. I’ve been acknowledged by my girlfriend how great my undies are everytime i’m in bed with them on.
My opinion is known designers like D&G, EA, Diesel are only ever good at putting their labels on already existing styles of undies and at high price. Specialiased underwear companies are frontrunners & innovators IMHO.
the lounge pants from Ralph Lauren, those aren’t sexy! My gf prefers me in my N2n silk lounge pants thatn those baggy pants.
To Jake and Robby: Thank you both for your comments, nightwear really is an important part of fashion, that is sometimes failed acknowledgment by designers.
To RYZEN: Thank you for your comment. I agree that some designers do just tend to play it safe and believe people will buy into their brand and not their product, however the issue I was trying to touch on was mostly about fashion/comfort, which is really what nightwear can be about (hence why it is usually not acknowledged by the fashion world). So while silky boxers do sound very nice, not all fashionbeans readers may feel comfortable wearing these (for age/size reasons). I understand where you’re coming from regarding fashion being about innovative designs, but I personally feel nightwear really needs to incorporate both fashion and comfort.
