When the warmer months roll in, finding sleepwear that feels light, breathable, and stylish becomes a top priority. Enter the Boat Blue Stripe Sleep Shorts, a playful and practical addition to your summer wardrobe. These shorts aren’t just for sleep — they’re the perfect piece for everything from lazy mornings with coffee to weekend lounging and packing light for summer holidays.

Crafted from the same beautifully crisp cotton we use in our private-label Jermyn Street production, these pyjama sleep shorts combine heritage craftsmanship with a touch of feminine charm. The blue and white stripe pattern is timeless — reminiscent of vintage deckchairs, seaside holidays, and classic shirting — giving these shorts a cool nautical edge.

Style and Fit: Tailored for Everyday Ease

These shorts are designed with relaxation in mind. Featuring a flattering tie waist, softly rounded side vents, and — by popular demand — handy side pockets, they strike the perfect balance between laid-back and considered. Whether you’re stretching out for an afternoon nap or throwing them on for an impromptu video call from the garden, they always look and feel the part.

We recommend rounding up a size if you're in between — the fit is designed for comfort, with a slightly loose, fluid silhouette that lets you move freely and stay cool on warm nights. Pair them with one of our organic cotton vests or tees for an effortlessly coordinated look.

Breathable Cotton for Hot Summer Nights

Made from 100% cotton, these sleep shorts are a dream to wear when temperatures rise. The natural fibres allow for airflow, wicking moisture away from the body and preventing that clammy feeling synthetic pyjamas can create. Cotton is hypoallergenic, soft on the skin, and machine washable — making it a fuss-free choice for anyone who values comfort and quality.

Whether you're a hot sleeper or just searching for something light and airy to lounge in, the Boat Blue Stripe Sleep Shorts offer a breathable option that doesn’t compromise on style.

More Than Just Shorts: A Full Matching Collection

The Boat Blue Stripe collection goes far beyond sleep shorts. We’ve created a full line of coordinated pieces so you can mix, match, and build your perfect summer nightwear wardrobe. Matching styles include a lightweight dressing gown, strappy nightdress, classic nightshirt, pyjama trousers, a full-length pyjama set, and even a short pyjama set. Every piece is cut from the same high-quality cotton, ensuring a cohesive, premium feel throughout. It’s ideal for gifting, matching with a partner or friend, or simply treating yourself to nightwear that feels just as good as it looks.

Versatile Sleepwear That Goes Beyond the Bedroom

colour palette make them perfect for throwing on post-shower, lounging in on a Sunday, or even wearing to the beach layered over a swimsuit. With the rise in stylish loungewear and pyjama dressing, pieces like these offer a blend of form and function that you’ll want to wear well beyond lights out. And let's not forget the practicality of pockets — a rare gem in women’s sleepwear! Ideal for stashing your phone, lip balm, or even a snack (no judgement here), they add that little bit of everyday luxury that makes all the difference.
