Knee length PJ shorts?

16 replies

Anyone found knee length pyjama / lounging shorts? I’m a very curvy 10 and mens ones do not fit, I’ve tried. But I can’t find anything longer than mid thigh, after a lot of googling, but I can’t bear short shorts at night. Ideally jersey, or something with stretch.

I saw a few in sainsburys today,they do really nice ones

DustyTulips · 11/06/2022 23:07

Thanks! Would you be able to link? I’ve had a look online and can only see short (mid thigh) or cropped (mid calf) ones - nothing knee length. I was looking here:

I know what you mean - I really want some of what you describe, but all the short pjs are super short.

Best I've found are these which are more cropped longs than short.

Those look good, but I think I’d need to hem them (and I hate sewing) - the model is 6” taller than I am so they’ll be a lot longer on me! If I can’t find knee length ones, then these are definitely nearly there.

Matalan have some, a blue set for £10. I can't link because it brings up the App.

Asda do ones with cycling type shorts if those would suit?

BuanoKubiamVej · 11/06/2022 23:24

I know you said Men's styles don't work for you but these ones honestly would. Plenty of bagginess to fit the curviest bum but a drawstring waist so you can set them to fit you just snug enough.

I saw some in Asda just a couple of days ago.

YourSpleenIsDamp · 12/06/2022 02:32

Asda ones are fab - I think they're described as three quarter length, but they stop just below my knees, and I'm 5ft 6

DustyTulips · 12/06/2022 07:22

Thanks, the Asda ones look right. I may wait until the plain red ones are back in stock, though, as I’m not sure about some of the patterns. I’m also tempted to try the cycling short style set, but I’m a bit worried it would be horribly unflattering.

I can’t see the Matalan set that was mentioned, maybe it’s not on the website.

John lewis had some a few weeks ago.

I’m very tempted to try those, thanks. I found the equivalent women’s ones from that brand and nearly got them as the material and style is perfect, but they were mid thigh length. If you’ve tried them and think they’d fit over hips, they’d be perfect. Any idea on how sizing relates to women's sizes? Otherwise I’ll dig the tape measure out.

Asda do some

Hi, I've taken a screenshot of the Matalan ones. I'm not sure how to bypass the app!

Thanks! I would ideally like knee length (on me, and I’m not model height!), but those (and the Asda ones) are definitely the nearest.

It’s weird that men get knee length pyjamas, and women only get short or mid calf. It’s made me wonder what’s in the minds of the pyjama designers.

Peacocks have some nice ones. They are stretch fabric and fitted, like spanx but not tight
