I can’t think of anything better than a lazy Sunday morning, curled up in PJs with a book or a bad movie on the TV. I do love warm flannel pajamas with fun, colorful prints but I tend to wear plain loungewear more. I can leave my apartment to get the mail or take out the trash without my neighbors getting a view of my crazy jammies.
My current favorite comfy pants are these Women with Control stretch bootcut leggings from QVC. They hold their shape really well, without getting baggy or saggy but they’re not super fitted or binding. If you lay them flat, they’re cut with a curve at the hip so it’s not a shapeless seam from the waist to the knee. The cotton is a nice weight and they have tons of stretch. They’re the kind of pants you can’t wait to get into after a long day. They'd be really great for yoga, walking, etc.
If you are looking for flannel pajamas in plus sizes, I have this set from JCPenney in a 3X and they fit very well. The set is on sale for $23 currently. I got mine last year and they’re a really goofy Scottie dog print that I love. They also come in misses, petite and tall sizes and make a great gift. I also really like the Modal separates. They’re a soft, breathable jersey knit that isn’t as heavy or warm as flannel.
Due to Old Navy’s whacked out sizing, my favorite cotton camis are from the Women’s line, rather than the Plus line. The shelf bra camis
are inexpensive, come in a bazillion colors, and are super comfortable to wear around the house or as a layering piece. I have a whole stack of them and really, they’re all holding up well considering I live in them. They are not super supportive so I still wear a bra if I’m going out into the world but on their own, it’s just enough support for sleeping, being at home, etc. The XXL fits me with room to spare and I have 48” bust.
I really need a new set of flannel pijamas, I got some from target last year but the fabric was so thing I wore a hole in them in the inner thigh. I also have a fleece pijama from old navy set I got as a present on last years christmas gift exchange, but it drives me crazy because the pants are too short and the bunch up when i sleep, wich makes me cold and kind of defeats the purpose of wearing pants to bed.

One of my pet peeves is people out and about in their flannels. Mailbox? Ok. Grocery store? Come on now! Put some pants on.
One of the joys of "lounge wear" is that it blends in. Someone walking around with Tweety on their arse doesn't blend in so much.

Tweety on their arse
That's pretty funny. Wife likes Tinkerbell, but only in the house.
Which reminds me to get busy for Christmas Shopping tomorrow.
