PJ tops that aren’t indecent

Feels like unicorn poo - so suggestions welcome.

Wish list is - not going to traumatise anyone wearing around adult brother / parents.

  • Not button up (incompatible with boobs)
  • comes in 18 / proper XL
  • not see through
  • fully covers boob and stomach (so not cropped or low cut)
  • material thick enough that doesn’t highlight every subtle feature of nipple and aureola
  • sleeves - long sleeves, or if short then nearer elbow than armpit.

Help!

Noctu do mix and match pyjamas tops and bottoms that are thick enough to pass as loungewear.

Luna stripe top: noctu.co.uk/shopall/luna-top-ochre-stripe

However, their largest size appears to be an XXL which they define as 16-18. They do look to be cut on the large side, so possibly worth a try. Their models are bra-less so you can get a pretty good idea what colour/pattern works best!

This is such a bugbear of mine! Do adult women really want PJs and tops that look like little girls’ clothes? Men’s clothes aren’t designed like they’re for little boys!
OP I have bought some decent PJs from Asda. Dark colours are best for modesty.

Loads of mens pj's have cartoon characters, superheroes and star wars stuff on.

I mostly wear fat face bottoms (cotton with pockets) plus a vest with built in support and put a sweatshirt or t shirt over the top for lounging round the house.

I wear those crop top style bras to bed under my pj's, very comfy and no risk of nip slips!

Yes, that's what I do. Cheap one from amazon
Don't wear all the time, but definitely if I'm away from home or we have guests.
I just feel unfettered otherwise!!

noctu are beautiful quality.

I also love the Fat Face Henley style tops - I think you can also pick them up on eBay. A couple of buttons at the top but never had an issue with them popping open.

also love Benetton plain t shirts but it’s a pain in the arse to return items to them as you need to fill out customs forms etc.

This set is good but not sure the top and bottom is available separately https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-edie-striped-cotton-pyjama-set-light-grey/p5543915

Sounds like the type of PJs I like but I've never had problems getting them. Sainburys or M&S are my favorite.

Asda and Sainsbury's. Lord of nice PJs - short-sleeved tops and trousers.

My mum bought me some from Tesco for Xmas, I love them so I went and bought another pair! I can't find a link. They are super warm. I have them in purple and a pair in blue. They came on a hanger that had a ribbon round it so it was like a parcel, £12 in the sale! Long sleeved and long legged with a ribbed effect.

My youngest daughter is that size , and gets hers from Primark .
mostly short sleeve t shirts as the top and nice soft cotton jersey bottoms .
to be fair they do seem to feature Daisy Duck and hello kitty 🐱😆
