Was back in the same store yesterday. Sleepwear display was much than 2 months ago, as expected when spring is approaching. However the space is now full of swimsuits. Probably more needed than sleepwear or underwear because there are few places that you can't swim without one, but still far from essential.
Was in the same department store yesterday. Area devoted to sleepwear was further reduced and another department store had almost eliminated theirs.
I would be great if this means that more men are sleeping nude now that the weather is getting warmer. Some certainly are, but I suspect that the more common move is from sleepwear to underwear!
An essential is "a thing that is absolutely necessary" so those store signs and store designations are just marketing BS.
As far as clothing, a pair of shorter inseam shorts, a t-shirt, and maybe a pair of sandals are the essentials. Even the sandals are optional most of the time but the shorts and shirt keep me out of trouble when I am out in public or when we have visitors at home. Underwear or sleepwear has never been essential.

Do you have any of either?
Are there any other types of clothing you don't own?
I agree with you.Underwear or sleepwear has never been essential.
I don't even own underwear.
But there was a time when underwear served a greater purpose than it does today. Used to be that men (in town, at least) nearly always wore suits. Suits were difficult to clean. A man might only own one suit. If he had two, the newer one was worn to church or for special occasions. Regardless, they were not washed very often.
Underwear formed a barrier between the person and the suit -- to absorb moisture/fluids and odors. Underwear was easy to wash. No problem putting on a fresh set each week.
Cuffs and collars were removable from shirts -- they could be cleaned while the shirt itself was worn over and over again.

I had to wear suits most of the time at work, so I wore underwear. Once I retired, I got rid of all of my suits and underwear. I did keep one blazer for dress up occasions.
I still have to wear suits on a regular basis for my work. However, I decided quite a few years ago not to wear underwear any longer, no matter what. Now, even with a suit or dress pants, I go without underwear. It is not, for me at least, an essential item. I hate the restriction of wearing them more than any chafing from not wearing them.
Very few people, if any at all, in your profession could get away with not wearing a suit.I still have to wear suits on a regular basis for my work.

When I wore suits, I had silk boxers.
Be sure they are large enough to not bind and they are very much like not wearing anything at all. Silk is well very silky. Absolutely no chaffing.
