A quality nightshirt is an essential part of any gentleman’s sleepwear collection. These traditional garments are perfect for keeping warm at bedtime, but can also be worn around the house as a form of loungewear.

After a long day, there’s nothing better than getting into a convenient nightshirt and sitting in front of a fire with a hot drink in hand before replenishing your energy with a good night’s sleep.

That’s why it’s important to choose a quality men’s nightshirt that’s both comfortable and practical.

James Meade has a selection of men’s cotton nightshirts, available in sizes M to XXL with a variety of attractive colours and striped designs to choose from.

What is a Nightshirt?

A classic men’s nightshirt is a long, loose-fitting shirt that reaches the knees, typically buttoned down with a collar and long sleeves.

Men have traditionally worn nightshirts for centuries, providing a base layer and coverage in bed to keep warm. Fabrics have varied over the years, with linen being the favoured option for ancient Egyptians while silk was the preferred choice for the likes of Henry VIII. Nowadays, a simple, versatile pure cotton that’s soft and breathable is a popular favourite.

You can find a great collection of men’s cotton nightshirts in a range of sizes and styles here.

Why wear a Nightshirt?

Cotton nightshirts are an ideal bedtime garment to keep you cosy while you sleep. Coming in a range of different styles and sizes, they are perfect for wearing in bed and lounging around in to provide an extra layer of warmth when you need it most.

Due to their relaxed loose-fit nature, men’s nightshirts prevent constriction or discomfort during your sleep - especially for the restless sleepers among us who may twist and turn throughout the night.

When to wear a nightshirt?

Whether you’re snuggled on the sofa in front of the fire or resting your head in bed, a quality nightshirt is just what you need.

When the cooler nights set in, cotton nightshirts are particularly beneficial as the breathable natural fibres keep you warm - but not too warm - to allow you to get a wonderful night’s sleep… Making them a wonderful solution to prevent the cold from waking you up before your alarm has the chance to!
