For sleep, lounging and occasional doctors appointment
Edit: I’d just wear cotton sleep pants and play them off if they came in plain colours and didn’t have the telltale patterns.
I was going to get some of the Smeg recommended jogger pants but prefer something a bit more cool and comfortable, a little stretch to be more likely to fit off the rack. And fairly cheap because furry little hands pull threads.
Bonds actually had cotton trackpants many years ago that were cool and comfortable without showing too much of yourself. I used to really like Bonds but I stopped buying after the prices rose and they changed to weird ill fitting cuts
Rivers used to do quite good crushed linen knee length pants for the tourist trade - elasticated top with a drawstring backup (which could be removed) with decent pockets and a drawstring tie just below each knee. Intended to be for summer, and wearable straight out of one's suitcase. I got a couple of pairs and really like them for hot sticky weather. I also like that they don't need ironing - and get softer and more comfy with each wash. Might be worth looking them up on line to see if they're still available. I also like last year's special at Aldi of knee length cargo pants in lightish cotton - baggy but the pockets are good and they are easy to wash and very comfy. I hate feeling sweaty in summer too.
