Stylish and comfortable sleepwear for the modern gentleman.

The weather outside is, indeed, frightful. So, it’s probably time to bed down. In fact, one of the best ways to enjoy this segment of the year is to sleep through most of it, and to do so in the utmost style and comfort, you’re going to need a proper pair of pyjamas. Scroll down to peruse the latest offerings from some of MR PORTER’s favourite brands in this department. Then close your eyes, count sheep, and hope for the best.

You might be forgiven for thinking that this London-based brand is one of those hundred-year-old businesses you find on Savile Row – there’s something terribly gentlemanly about the alliterative name. Actually though, this is a thoroughly modern concern – launched in 2014 by couple Mr Joe Jeffreys and Ms Molly Goddard, and named after their grandparents – that offers thoroughly modern pyjamas. Look here for a flattering, contemporary cut of pyjama shirt, slightly longer and less boxy than traditional styles, in a variety of wry prints (including sprouting mushrooms) and interesting fabrics. The seersucker and short-sleeved styles will be particularly good for summer, but right now, you can’t go wrong with this navy style, rendered in soft brushed cotton and sharp enough that you can wear the shirt during the day, if the mood should so take you.

Loungewear brand Cleverly Laundry has a delightfully fuss-free approach to crafting what it refers to as “man-proof essentials for bed, bath and pool”. Its minimally detailed pyjamas are cut for a relaxed, easy fit, and rendered in washed cotton for supreme comfort. Match this blue pair with one of the brand’s equally appealing terry cotton robes, which come with a large shawl collar for an extra cosy feeling.

The wares of this quirky sleepwear (and “not-quite-ready-to-wear”) brand are inspired by the lives of great artists including Mr Pablo Picasso and Mr George Plimpton who, so goes the thinking, were at their most creative when they were at their most comfortable. We particularly like this checked variation for its soft, supremely touchable cotton flannel fabric – enough to inspire anyone to produce a masterpiece, if they can keep from nodding off, that is. If you were looking for a reason to invest in a supremely comforting Faherty Sherpa blanket, it’s worth noting that the colour scheme will complement these pyjamas rather nicely. But do you really need a reason?
