When temperatures drop, most of us reach for thick flannels and long sleeves. But hear us out – short set pyjamas can be just as cosy and practical for autumn and winter. With the right layers and fabrics, they help you stay comfortable without feeling weighed down or overheated on those cosy nights in.
Autumn and winter comfort doesn’t have to mean bulky layers or heavy materials. The secret is smart layering, which combines breathable, soft pieces that you can add or remove as you go. Here’s how to make short set pyjamas work beautifully for the colder months.
1. Start With The Base: Your Short Set Pyjamas
Your base layer matters. Short set pyjamas give you freedom to move and keep you cool under the duvet, especially if you tend to get too warm at night. Go for fabrics that feel gentle on the skin while offering just enough warmth.
Try something playful like our Strawberry Print Shorts Pyjama Set in Pink or the Sloth Print Pink Pyjamas Short Set, both are easy to layer and perfect for relaxed evenings at home.
2. Layer With An Oversized Hoodie
Layering is where short set pyjamas really shine. Throw on an oversized hoodie for instant warmth. We think you’ll especially love our Sherpa Fleece Two Tone Snuggle Hoodie in Grey for its soft and comforting touch. This mix feels snug but not heavy, which is ideal for weekend lounging or slow mornings with a warm drink in hand.
3. Add A Fleece Or Sherpa Dressing Gown
A fleece or sherpa dressing gown is your secret weapon for chillier nights. When paired with short set pyjamas, it adds warmth where you need it without trapping too much heat. The result? A perfectly balanced outfit that keeps you cosy yet breathable.
How about trying our Polkadot Sleepy Panda Applique Dressing Gown, where detail is key? If you like that relaxed, layered look, pair your favourite robe with the Jersey Love Heart Top and Cycling Shorts Pyjama Set for an effortlessly comfy feel.
4. Don’t Forget The Cosy Extras
Just because you’re wearing short set pyjamas doesn’t mean you can’t keep warm. Add fluffy socks, slipper boots, or a soft blanket for extra comfort. These small touches make all the difference when you’re winding down for the evening.
We especially recommend our Microwave Warming Unicorn Slippers for that toasty toes feeling you just can’t beat.
5. Create A Calm Autumn And Winter Routine
Your loungewear sets the tone for how you unwind. Short set pyjamas are perfect for creating a relaxed bedtime routine because they’re light, soft, and easy to wear. Light a candle, put on your favourite playlist, or some cosy winter jazz and settle into that calm, snuggly space that makes autumn and winter evenings special.
If you prefer something simple yet chic, short set pyjamas are a go to option because they’re classic, flattering, and perfect for layering.
Why Short Set Pyjamas Work In Cold Weather
It might sound unexpected, but short set pyjamas can actually help regulate your body temperature more effectively than thicker, full-length options. Many people sleep better when they’re slightly cool, and the shorts allow your body to breathe while still keeping your core comfortable.
For homes that stay warm, or for anyone who prefers lightweight comfort, short set pyjamas are a smart and stylish choice. You’ll stay cosy all night without overheating, just pure, easy comfort.
This autumn and winter, don’t dismiss short set pyjamas. With the right layering and textures, they can be one of the most versatile (and surprisingly warm) pieces in your lounge wardrobe.
But if we haven’t quite convinced you, or short set pyjamas just aren’t your thing, try our Slim Fit Moon Onesie for all over comfort. It’s cosy, soft, and perfect for those who love full body warmth with a snug, flexible fit.
