Some of us love the familiar feel of traditional pyjamas. Others want plenty of room to curl up, stretch out and claim their rightful share of the sofa. And sometimes, it’s simply a question of how much ankle you like to show.
Which pyjama shape feels most like you?
At Their Nibs, choosing your nightwear starts with finding a shape you love. Our illustrated guide takes a closer look at four favourites: traditional, oversized, capri and boxy pyjamas. Think of it as a little introduction to your next bedtime companion.
Traditional pyjamas: a timeless bedtime favourite
There’s a reason we keep coming back to traditional pyjamas. With their classic button-through top and long trousers, they have that wonderfully familiar, properly-ready-for-bed feeling.
Our women’s traditional pyjamas are a lovely choice if you enjoy a classic silhouette with coverage for sleeping and lounging. They’re equally at home over breakfast, tucked beneath a dressing gown or accompanying the final chapter of a very good book.
Choose a print that makes you smile and let this enduring shape do the rest. Sometimes your bedtime routine deserves a little ceremony, even if it mainly involves checking you’ve set the alarm.

Oversized pyjamas: room to relax
If your ideal evening involves loosening up and slowing down, meet our oversized pyjamas. Relaxed and roomy, this shape brings an easy feel to bedtime dressing, with both long and short sets in the collection.
These are the pairs to reach for when you want space to settle in: knees tucked up, book balanced, tea within reach. The generous silhouette also gives our prints plenty of room to shine.
Oversized is a shape in its own right, so check the individual product’s size guide when choosing your pair. That way, you can enjoy the intended fit without guessing how many sizes to go up.

Capri pyjamas: a little ankle, a lot to love
Prefer your pyjama trousers a little shorter? Our capri pyjamas offer a cropped, mid-calf finish, making them a lovely option for anyone who enjoys some coverage with a little more leg left free.
They’re a useful in-between choice when shorts don’t quite appeal and you’d rather skip a long trouser. Think leisurely breakfasts, packing for a weekend away and evenings spent pottering around at home.
As with any cropped style, where the hem sits will depend on your height. And if you’re a little on the shorter side, capri pyjamas could be your clever bedtime shortcut: a cropped leg on someone taller may sit closer to full length on you. All the loveliness, a little less trouser!
Find your favourite capri pyjamas.
Boxy pyjamas: an easy, contemporary shape
Our boxy pyjamas pair a relaxed, square-cut top with wide-leg trousers for a contemporary silhouette. There’s an easy drape to this shape that makes it particularly inviting for slow mornings and unhurried evenings.
If you enjoy a roomier top with a distinct square shape, this could be your bedtime match. Let the illustrated details introduce the cut, then choose the colour or print that catches your eye.
