Does this come with matching pajama pants?

No. It is sold as a single short-sleeve shirt. Matching Real Soft bottoms are sold separately.

How does Real Soft fabric feel?

It is a brushed knit with a soft, slightly stretchy hand. It drapes loosely rather than feeling crisp like cotton poplin.

The fit is described as relaxed and loose. If you want a closer fit, consider a smaller size than your usual.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It is a short-sleeve top in a light knit. It suits warm rooms and summer, not cold bedrooms.

How should I wash it to limit pilling?

Wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry or tumble low. Heat and friction speed up pilling on brushed knits.

Is it only available at Aerie?

Yes. Aerie lists Real Soft as exclusive to its own stores and site.

Our take on the Aerie Real Soft Short Sleeve Pajama Shirt

This is a short-sleeve sleep shirt from Aerie's Real Soft line, a brushed knit fabric the brand markets as its softest. The cut is relaxed and loose, so it works as a top for warm-weather sleeping or lounging. It is a single top, not a set, so shoppers wanting matching bottoms need to buy those separately. Compared with cotton poplin pajama shirts, the knit fabric is stretchier and softer against skin but less crisp and less breathable in heat.
