What does your tween boy wear to sleep?

[cmo]

DS, age 12, is in flux for pajama options. He's too old for most matched sets, but too small for adult sizes (he is just shy of 5 feet tall), and it seems there is a lack of junior sizes like there are for girls. He is not fixed on any one style, would be happy with a subtle matched set, or sleep pants or shorts paired with a plain t-shirt, preferably cotton. All our usual online sources are either too much polyester or have a too-young print/pattern/graphic. Any leads would be much appreciated!!

Nothing special. Just regular shorts and a t. Easy enough to find all cotton if you don't limit yourself to pjs department.

Cotton knit shorts (not true pajamas) and undershirt style tees (usually Champion brand) .

Since about age 6, they wear boxers and undershirt style t-shirts. In the winter, they have flannel pants intead.

DS wears regular tee shirts to sleep. For bottoms, he wears sweat (or fleece) pants in cold weather and sports-type shorts in warm weather. He hasn't worn proper PJs since he was in 3rd or 4th grade.

Two wear just underwear unless they are sleeping over or we have company, then they wear flannel pj pants and sometimes an undershirt. One wears just flannel pj pants.

At home, undies. Camping or at MIL's boxer shorts and an undershirt.

Ds1 is 10 and 5 feet he wears hannas or unders and a tshirt

BFF's sons (6, 8, 15) wear boxers and cotton undershirts.

My two boys haven't had actual pajamas for a long time - since maybe 6 yrs old or so. They wear whatever t shirt they have on and their underwear (boxer briefs). If they are cold, they will add "comfy pants" (pj pants that are flannel-like - typically have sports logos on them) but that is rare. We use a lot of blankets on their beds, so they usually take off pants. In the summer, they will sleep in just their underwear.

Have you checked Gap? They sell separate pj shorts/pants and shirts.

Thanks all! You've given me some great ideas, which has given me some ideas on what to look for next time I'm out shopping. DS and I thank you. :-)

I have wondered the same thing my small 10 year old still has some size 8 carter sets and some lighter sets from Costco but is just too old to be buy that stuff anymore. He doesn't wear boxers and wouldn't sleep without a shirt so I've been trying to figure this out too.

Would he wear soft boxers or other comfy shorts/pants over his preferred underwear and a tshirt?

DS wears cotton draw string shorts and sweats that I bought in the sports section at Target, and t-shirts.

Pajama day at school is just not as exciting for boys after a certain age :-)

[niccig]

Underwear, or if he wants PJs he wears old pair of soccer shorts from rec league and a t-shirt. Those soccer uniforms get a lot of wear after the season. DS will wear the tops to school and the shorts become pj pants.

I buy soft cotton shorts at target and tell him they are for sleeping. He likes to have specific pjs, but definitely too old for sets. I also buy cheap soft t's at target that are specifically for sleeping.

[calebsmama03]

silky athletic basketball type shorts and a tee if it's cold, otherwise just the shirts. Even in winter. He hates pants.

[jenstring95]

Older athletic shorts (the kind that might be short for daytime wear but that you wouldn't care about for pjs) and a cotton t-shirt. Or, more often, whatever he wore the day before because he is too lazy to change and will just shower and change in the morning!

I just got some size 12 pj's from Crazy8. (They had a spot for size 14, but didn't have any.)

For summer, we do target circo shorts and cotton T - I get cotton T's every black Friday at Joann's &/or Michael's for way cheap. For winter, we stock up on sleep pants after back-to-school and before Christmas, it's a short window of opportunity! JCPenny, Target and Fred Meyer/Kroger generally have something.

Pajama shorts. He won't wear a shirt unless it's really cold.

[ilfaith]

My 12-year-old usually wears tee shirts and either boxers or athletic shorts. He also has a couple of pairs of pajama bottoms...specifically, these... http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2622886/boys-4-16-up-late-2-pk-football-plaid-lounge-pants.jsp

My son just wears his shorts and a t-shirt. He's simple like that.

[Kindra178]

Tshirt and boxers and/or shorts in summer and flannel pajama pants and tshirts in the winter. Sometimes some sets from the Gap.
