With seamless sides, it’s incredibly smooth and comfortable. It also has a solid-colored classic design with delicate contrast piping around the collar. We also love that it’s partially made of recycled materials, thus reducing waste and being more eco-conscious.

Body-Temperature Regulating PJs for Men

Night sweats can impact anyone, including me. Thankfully, there are plenty of options when it comes to men's pajamas that effectively regulate body temperature.

First up on our list of options for men is the IR Sleepwear LS V-Neck Shirt from the brand DFND. This brand says that their pajamas actually have infrared features, which “absorb body heat and reflect it back to the wearer.” This energy can impact circulation and “cellular oxygenation,” which can lead to better sleep and better-regulated body temperatures. 

There are 9 peer-reviewed published studies that speak to the science and effectiveness of their clothes. When it comes to style, this long-sleeve shirt is simple and classic and is just a touch oversized and loose-fitting, to ensure comfort all night long. 

And women, if you love this shirt, keep in mind it’s unisex.
