I do Peter Alexander PJ shorts and a t shirt...and I was still boiling. No clue how anybody survives in the long one supplied. Nobody seemed to care, it was dark anyway!
"Football" shorts, if by that you mean rugby league shorts, are probably inappropriate, but something like basketball shorts (as mentioned above) would be okay. (Paired with a t-shirt.)
But VA long haul business class provides pyjamas, so wear them!
I'm not keen in getting into PJ's or just shorts and T's for sleeping on any aircraft, it's the just in case scenario, a bit like kicking shoes and socks off, no thanks, I'd sooner be ready, just in case... My brother is a QF Pilot, and commends my approach for safety over comfort. I think you can sleep OK in a relaxed style of clothing and loafers at least as minimal footwear.
Thin edge of the wedge right there. Just in case it crashes? Firstly, it probably wont matter what you are wearing considering the likelihood of surviving is minimal. If you want to wear PJ's then wear them....be comfortable.
Have been on a couple of flights up front, where passengers in underwear only(and indeed not very flattering underwear) have got up without putting on shorts or similar and headed for the bathroom. Definitely not on in my book!
Definitely not illegal to sleep in what is comfortable, though I eschew pyjamas. The first time I was on a flight that provided pyjamas I absolutely worte them, but I had to wake up considerably earlier to join the queue of people to change back. However I don't wear suits on a plane - usually a t-shirt and either shorts or jeans.
I have a great pair of very thin PJ shorts that I usually wear around the house only... but now use them on overnight flights along with a nice comfortable t-shirt. Works better than PJ's (own or given by airline) but overall PJ bottoms and t-shirt work great. So underwear and shorts (not boxers) are fine, but please wear a t-shirt.

I just wear a a comfy pair of shorts and a loose fitting t shirt and generally just use the blanket from the waist down as I find it can get too warm with the cabin temp.

I’m with russell on this one. No evidence to prove it, but I’m guessing that the outcome of a post ‘event’ investigation has never been; “if only they hadn’t been wearing PJ’s.”
Not entirely sure what decent folk in Y wear for sleeping attire, not sure if they bring their own PJ's or not.
I just wear whatever I wore onto the flight and don't bother to change. I'm already seated in a 31 by 17 inch space with 5 inches of room to breathe and forced into an upright position anyway; a slightly more comfortable set of clothes doesn't make a difference.
I generally wear neat comfortable casual on board and don't change into sleepwear. But I think PJs/or t shirt shorts (and no not boxers) are fine, so long as you keep certain parts out of sight, taking into account that things shift while you are asleep.
I've encountered one shirtless underpants wearer on one overnighter and have to say, not a fan. No one needs to see that......
This is the first thing I do once the seat belt sign goes off on an overnight j leg. Straight into pj’s. In saying that they are winter ones with a shirt. I always find it cold. I know that SQ don’t care.
Singapore airlines don’t offer pj’s in business class at all. Wear something comfortable and loose fit clothing to ensure you can relax. I have seen people in pj’s many times and they looked really comfy. Try something like a pair of loose basketball shorts with underwear and a loose t-shirt to ensure maximum relaxation. Have a great trip!

"Illegal to wear pyjamas?" Hilarious question!! Mate, many airlines will offer them. On a night flight, the first thing I do is get into them!! On a recent HKG-SYD leg, you could tell the frequent flyers from the occasional - FFs changed into pj's immediately, before pushback. Everyone else looked at us like a bunch of weirdos before accepting that's what you do and joined in. If I'm doing longhaul economy, I'll take them with me also. Comfort on longhaul is just crucial - and aids blood flow.

Hopefully that last sentence isn’t viewed as mixed messaging.

Definitely comfy tops and bottoms, eg airline pj's or tracky or something equiv. Anything short of that is inconsiderate and frankly... rude.
