Men's Pajama Tops: Henleys & Sleep Shirts

Buying the top on its own lets him pair it with shorts or pants he already owns, so start with neckline and sleeve. Henley tops with a two- or three-button placket layer well and look less like "pajamas"; crew-neck sleep tees run coolest; button-front pajama shirts with a chest pocket and piped trim feel the most classic. Sleeve length follows the season: short-sleeve for warm rooms, long-sleeve waffle or thermal-knit for winter. For fabric, cotton jersey is the everyday default, brushed flannel and waffle-knit hold warmth, and bamboo or modal feels silky and runs cool for hot sleepers. These tops fall straight from the chest, so size off a tee he loves and add a size if he likes room to sleep. Keep names quiet: a small left-chest monogram or embroidered initials reads far better than a back print. Expect about $22-$55 for most tops, with brushed flannel and bamboo at the top of the band.
