The best men's Christmas pajamas look like a classic set first and a holiday set second. Our William, Henry and Charles styles come in quiet holiday prints, in TENCEL™ Modal or Washable Silk, so he gets a set that feels good on Christmas morning and still gets worn in February.
The three styles below differ in the top, the waist and the fabric. Knowing how he sleeps, and how he dresses on a slow weekend morning, is usually enough to choose.
Which men's Christmas pajamas should he choose?
William: the classic button-front set
The William TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set was inspired by our best-selling women's pajamas but made just for him, in the same soft TENCEL™ Modal as Gisele. It is breathable, long lasting and machine washable, and it is designed to look polished whether he is at home or away. William is $168 in sizes XXS to XXL.
Choose William for the man who likes a traditional long set, or for a his-and-hers look, since it matches back to our women's Gisele PJs.
Henry: the Henley and drawstring set
The Henry TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set pairs a relaxed-fit Henley long-sleeve top, with functional buttons at the neckline, and a pant with an elastic waistband, adjustable drawstring, faux fly and functional pockets. The fabric is a temperature-regulating knit verified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. Henry is $168 in sizes XXS to XXL.
Henry suits the man who finds a collar and full button front too formal for bed. In our Pine solid, there is also the Henry TENCEL™ Modal Short Sleeve & Pant PJ Set, $158 in XS to XL, with a crew neck short-sleeve top and a drawstring pant.
Charles: Washable Silk
The Charles Washable Silk Printed Long PJ Set is 100% mulberry silk, produced using bluesign®-certified processes and verified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. It has a long-sleeve button-down top with a notch collar and chest pocket, and straight leg pants with an elastic waistband, adjustable drawstring and pockets. It is machine washable, $298, in sizes XS to XL.
Charles is the dressiest of our men's Christmas pajamas: a gift for the man who already owns a good set, or for a couple who wants to match in silk.
Whichever he chooses, all of our men's Christmas pajamas are machine washable, so they can stay in weekly rotation instead of waiting in a drawer for next December.

How do you match his pajamas with hers and the kids?
Every printed William also comes in the women's Gisele Long PJ Set and the kids set, so a his-and-hers or full-family match is a matter of choosing one print. The Henry prints, Santa Paws, Hollyberry and Winter Pine, also come in Gisele and kids styles, and all three come in a pet PJ.
Matching does not have to mean identical. He can wear Henry in Winter Pine while she wears the Gisele Long set in the same print, or wear a Pine solid next to a printed family. Shop coordinating sets in matching family pajamas, and see every print together in the best Christmas pajamas, every print explained.
What size should he wear?
Our men's size guide goes by chest measurement:
| Size | Chest (in) |
|---|---|
| XXS | 29-31 |
| XS | 32-34 |
| S | 35-37 |
| M | 38-40 |
| L | 41-43 |
| XL | 44-46 |
| XXL | 47-49 |
William and Henry long sets run the full XXS to XXL range. Charles and the Henry Short Sleeve & Pant set run XS to XL. The men's pajamas size guide has the full chart.
If you are giving men's holiday pajamas as a gift and are unsure of his size, his chest measurement is the most useful number to find. Many William holiday sets can also be monogrammed. A monogram is $15, and PJ monogramming is complimentary for a limited time, applied automatically at checkout. Monogrammed orders take 7 to 10 business days to process before they ship.
