Tiger Pajamas

Tiger pajamas keep the stripes going after the lights go down, on sets made for slow mornings and long evenings at home. The collection moves between three moods: fur-stripe prints that cover a set from strap to ankle, cartoon tigers wandering through turquoise and white jungles, and single large artworks, such as a roaring white tiger or a pair of tigers circling each other. There are sets for men, for women and for boys, along with pajama pants sold on their own.

Fur stripes, jungle scenes and tiger portraits

Each kind of print shows the animal differently. The fur-stripe designs copy the coat itself, orange with black stripes, so the set reads as a tiger from a distance. The jungle prints are lighter in spirit: small cartoon tigers walk, sit and stretch among palm fronds and broad leaves, repeated across every inch of fabric. The portrait designs leave most of the fabric calm and give the tiger one large, detailed place on the top, more like a painting than a pattern.

Cami sets with tigers on show

The women's cami sets pair a top on thin straps with long, loose pants. The Cami Tiger Striped Pajamas go furthest toward the animal: the whole set is printed with orange fur and black stripes, and a panel of pale fur runs down one side of the top, like the light fur of a tiger's underside, with white straps and a white edge at the neckline.

The Tiger Print Pajamas Womens take the opposite approach. The set is cream from top to hem, and on the top two tigers curve around each other in a loose circle, one heading up and one heading down, each following the other's tail. Another cami set in the same cream shade shows a white tiger painted in soft grays on one side of the top, facing a scatter of red maple leaves on the other.

Button-up and crew-neck sets for men

For men, the collection covers both the classic cut and the lounge cut. The All-Over Print Tiger Pajamas Men are the classic version: a long-sleeved button-up shirt with a notched collar and straight pants, all in white, with a black and white tiger roaring across the front of the shirt, its open jaws and long fangs reaching from the collar almost to the hem.

The Jungle Mens Tiger Pajamas are cut as a lounge set instead: a crew-neck top with long sleeves and slim pants gathered at the ankle, printed all over with orange cartoon tigers walking among teal leaves on a turquoise ground. A women's set uses the same turquoise jungle, and other men's sets follow the same crew-neck cut on darker grounds, including navy and black.

A set for boys, and the tiger cub

The Boys Tiger Pajamas trade long sleeves for summer shapes: a short-sleeved shirt with a notched collar and buttons down the front, and matching shorts, both edged in black piping. The print is bright and busy, with cartoon orange tigers prowling between green monstera and jungle leaves on a white ground, from the collar to the hem of the shorts.

Tiger cubs turn up on children's clothes for good reason, and the animals behind the cartoons are just as endearing. Cubs are born blind, open their eyes after a week or two and stay with their mother for around two years while she teaches them to hunt. Our guide, all you need to know about the tiger cub, follows them from birth to independence, with a close look at the bond between a tigress and her young.

Pajama pants on their own

Some designs come as pants alone, with a wide waistband and a loose, straight leg. One pair is printed with soft pink brushstroke stripes on a pale gray ground, a gentle take on the tiger's pattern, while a turquoise pair shows orange tigers rising on their hind legs in mirrored pairs among teal leaves, the same jungle that runs through the turquoise sets.

Pants on their own are easy to mix with tops from the rest of the store. A tiger t-shirt turns them into a set, with designs that run from calm Bengal portraits to cute baby tigers.

Sizes across the tiger pajamas

Sizes run from XS to 3XL across the collection, and each design lists its own range in its options. The cami sets start at XS, several of the men's sets stop at 2XL, and the pajama pants reach 3XL. The boys' set comes in S, M and L. Our apparel size chart gives chest, shoulder and length measurements for t-shirts and hoodies, a handy reference point for the tops.

Warmer layers and the rest of the range

On colder nights, a tiger sweatshirt adds a layer without breaking the theme, with designs from all-over prints to tiger faces on black or white. The pajamas themselves belong to our larger tiger clothes collection, where t-shirts, hoodies, jackets and caps carry the same animal through the rest of the day.

Questions about the pajama sets

Are the pants sold without a top?

Some are. The pajama pants come on their own in a pink stripe or a turquoise jungle print, while the sets include both a top and a bottom.

Which sets have short sleeves?

The Boys Tiger Pajamas, with a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. The women's cami sets are sleeveless, and the men's sets have long sleeves.

Is the white set fully printed?

The All-Over Print Tiger Pajamas Men keep the print on the shirt, where the roaring tiger covers much of the front, and leave the pants white so the artwork stands out.

From fur stripes to jungle prints, every set of tiger pajamas here keeps the animal close at the quietest time of the day.
