Lightweight cotton plain dark coloured pj bottoms. Do they exist?

I have huge problems regulating body temp thanks to a genetic condition. Over about 68 degrees and I’m a sweaty, overheated, dripping wreck. Winter I also have problems with the cold but I can sort out clothes that solve the problem . Summer is a nightmare. I’m the most comfortable in my lightweight cotton pj bottoms. They look good shape wise and are so cool. I’m trying to find some in darker plain colours that I can wear as trousers but am not doing well with my search. I can find jersey ones, harems and ones that obviously are pjs. After trying all the places I can think of - Forgotten Tribes, next, Amazon, ebay, M&S, the white company , white stuff, fatface, monsoon, John Lewis , joules etc but am getting nowhere. Any ideas? Anywhere I’ve missed? Harem style pants don’t suit me as I’m very short and hippy. I just want regular pj bottoms (I love tesco ones) that don’t look overly pajama-y? Can anyone help?

these cotton/linen trousers from uniqlo are my most comfortable and cool trousers, they come up a bit big though.
Not pajama like at all.

Thanks Hugoagogo. They look lovely. How much thicker would you say the cotton is than pj weight cotton ?

Have you looked at ASOS? I’ve seen things like that in there

You could try Lands End

How about in the men's ranges?
They tend to be darker

I have these from H&M, they are not cotton but very thin, lightweight linen. They are really nice and comfortable and I've actually considered wearing them as daytime trousers - I haven't yet but you easily could.

Solitude they look great. I have plaid winter pj trousers from uniqlo which fit really nicely. Not sure how I missed these. Thank you.

MrsBunHat. These would be good if they are lightweight. I did look on their site but they probably look thicker then they actually are. Will give them a go. Thanks.

I didn’t think to look at mens Complete. Good idea.

Not cotton, but linen ones from this company are great: www.pigletinbed.com/collections/pyjamas-1

I also have bedsheets from the same company and find linen the best material in summer.

They’re lovely Salanda. I’m going to order some what with refunds being free. Thank you.

Cyber jammies? I really like their pjs

I have some from jigsaw, these in fact, they are still in stock. They're really comfortable.
