How to Choose the Perfect Pyjama Shape for You

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to pyjamas — and at Their Nibs, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Whether you’re lounging on a lazy Sunday, heading to bed after a long day, or stepping out in your favourite set for a coffee run (yes, our PJs are that good), comfort and personal style go hand in hand.

Here’s your guide to finding the perfect pyjama shape for you — because bedtime should always feel like your best self.

1. Classic Long Pyjama Sets

If you love timeless style with a touch of elegance, our long pyjama sets are your go-to. With full-length sleeves and trousers, this style is ideal for year-round comfort — especially in cooler months. Available in soft cotton, luxurious satin, and lightweight linen blends, they offer breathable comfort and classic charm. Our bestsellers like the White Hummingbird Cotton Set or Pink Stripe Satin Pyjamas are beloved for a reason.

Best for: Traditionalists, cooler sleepers, or anyone who loves a timeless look.

2. Shortie Pyjama Sets

Hot sleepers, rejoice! Our short pyjama sets feature short sleeves and shorts with elasticated waists and pockets. They’re the perfect blend of cute and cool, keeping you comfortable in warmer weather — or for year-round lounging.

From our Fashion Shorties to our Oversize Cotton Shorties, these sets are made for beach days, staycations, or just a breezy night in.

Best for: Summer months, hot sleepers, or relaxed holiday vibes.

3. Oversized Pyjamas

For those who love an extra dose of ease, our oversized sets are the ultimate in feel-good dressing. With a relaxed silhouette and drapey fit, they’re ideal for curling up with a book or stepping outside without changing. Available in long and short options, they’re the perfect mix of comfort and versatility.

Think: soft gauze, loose cuts, and elevated prints that you’ll want to show off.

Best for: Loungers, work-from-home days, and effortless everyday style.

4. Nighties and Nightshirts

If you prefer your sleepwear floaty and fuss-free, our cotton nighties and button-up nightshirts offer a dreamy alternative to sets. They're breathable, lightweight, and easy to throw on — perfect for warm nights or slow Sunday mornings.

Available in mini, knee-length and maxi styles, these are some of our all-year-round favourites.

Best for: Free spirits, warm sleepers, and those who love a little elegance at bedtime.

What’s Your PJ Personality?

At the heart of it, the perfect pyjama shape is the one that makes you feel good. Whether you love the easy breeziness of a nightie or the snug fit of a classic set, we’ve got a shape (and print!) with your name on it.
