Men's short summer pajamas: why choose them

When it's hot, a poorly chosen pair of pajamas becomes noticeable very quickly: the fabric sticks, air doesn't circulate, and you end up tossing and turning in bed. A short, light pair changes the whole story. Here's why men's short pajamas are worth it in summer and what to look for before buying them.

Why wear short pajamas in summer?

Short sleeves and shorts mean less fabric in contact with the skin, which allows air to circulate better during the night. No need to overthink it: it's the best sleepwear for hot nights, unlike long pajamas designed for the opposite—to retain heat.

Cotton or modal: which composition to choose?

Not all summer pajamas are made of the same fabric, and it makes a noticeable difference when you wear them:

100% cotton — breathable, absorbs moisture, and withstands washing without issues. This is what you'll find most in striped prints.
Modal (100% or blended with elastane) — a softer, almost silky feel, with some elasticity. If you're looking for extra comfort against your skin, this is your option.
Blends with polyester — the garment wrinkles less and holds up better to frequent use, although it's slightly less breathable than pure cotton.

We don't like to say that one composition is "the best": it depends on whether you prioritize freshness, softness, or durability. Choose based on what matters most to you.

Style: from classic to casual

Men's short pajamas don't have to be just functional. At LOHE, classic stripes coexist with button-down shirt finishes and mélange variations, so there's room to choose according to your style without sacrificing the comfort of shorts. We particularly like mixing both worlds: a classic print one day, something more casual the next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do cotton pajamas feel warmer than modal?
Not particularly: both are breathable fabrics. Cotton absorbs moisture better, while modal has a softer feel and some elasticity. If you get hot at night, the thickness and cut of the garment matter more than the fabric itself.

Which composition is best for sensitive skin?
Modal is usually the standard recommendation due to its soft touch, although 100% cotton also works well for most skin types.

How do you wash cotton or modal pajamas to prevent shrinking?
Always check the label on each garment — the recommended temperature varies depending on the exact composition of each model.
