Latuza Men's Bamboo Viscose Button Down Pajama Set with Shorts (Dark Gray) Review (2026)

Who this pajama set is for

Latuza built this men's set around bamboo viscose fabric, pairing a short sleeve button down top with matching shorts rather than the more common cotton tee and jersey pants combination. That makes it a fit for men who run warm at night and want a lighter, more breathable fabric than standard cotton jersey, while still preferring a classic collared pajama look over a plain tee. The dark gray colorway is a practical, low-key choice that works across most bedroom styles and hides everyday wear better than a lighter shade. Anyone who prefers a relaxed pullover tee and lounge pants combination, or who wants a heavier flannel set for cold weather, will likely find this set's lightweight fabric and dressier button front less to their taste than a simpler warm-weather set.

The bamboo viscose fabric

Latuza's bamboo viscose fabric blends viscose derived from bamboo with a small amount of spandex, giving the material some stretch alongside the natural softness and breathability associated with viscose fibers. Viscose is generally softer and more breathable than standard cotton jersey, which is the main reason this fabric style shows up across cooling-focused sleepwear from several brands rather than being exclusive to Latuza. The spandex content also helps the garment hold its shape through wear and washing rather than stretching out the way some pure viscose fabrics can over repeated use, which matters for a set worn regularly.

Design details and fit

The top uses a notch collar with a full button closure, giving it a more classic, put-together pajama silhouette than a simple crew neck tee, which some buyers specifically look for in sleepwear. The shorts pair an elastic waistband with a drawstring for adjustable fit and include two side pockets, a detail useful for holding a phone or keys around the house before bed. Because the shorts and short sleeve top expose more skin than a long sleeve and pants set, this combination is built for maximum airflow, which is the main design choice separating it from Latuza's cooler weather pajama sets with longer sleeves and pants.

Washing and everyday wear

Latuza's care instructions for its bamboo viscose garments call for a cold, gentle machine wash, no bleach, low heat if ironing, no dry cleaning, and no tumble drying, a gentler routine than a basic cotton set typically requires. Following that care routine matters more with viscose than with cotton, since high heat drying or hot washing can cause viscose fibers to stretch out or lose their smooth finish over time. The button down front is also worth factoring into daily use, since some men find a full button front presses uncomfortably while sleeping on their stomach, a trade-off inherent to button up sleepwear styles generally rather than specific to this fabric or brand.

How it compares in the guide

In the site's best moisture-wicking pajamas guide this set ranks third of nine with a score of 8.1 out of 10, just behind the matching Latuza women's bamboo viscose set at 8.1 and the Cool-jams sweat-free women's pajama set at 8.2, which uses a synthetic wicking fabric instead of bamboo viscose. Against the Cool-jams men's moisture wicking pajama top alone at 7.4, this Latuza set offers a fuller matching set with shorts included, though men specifically managing heavy night sweats may still prefer a dedicated wicking fabric like Cool-jams over bamboo viscose's more general breathability.
