I tried it inside my TQ but I end up with a restless night, constantly waking to untangle myself.
And This ^^^^
I have a few weights of leggings that I wear. Also have a pair of fleece zippered thigh-high leggings that can go on and off easily and be worn with my any shorts.
Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

Like just about everyone else who has responded, I wear a set of baselayers. I also wear a buff (so my delicate quilt isn't snugged up against my dirty, stubbly neck).
Added bonus: a set of baselayers is very welcome during the 2am visit to the bushes... and (also important) keeps the bugs off (or slows them down enough to get things done...)
I wear jammies and light socks. So much easier to wash pajamas than down. If cold, or out long enough without washing my hair, I also use a balaclava. Another benefit is, in the morning I can just get up and mosey around camp. No need to put in “street clothes” right away.
In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.
I've modified a $7 Ozark Trail bag liner from Wal-Mart into a TQ liner, and also modified my Snugpak Thermalon bag liner as well. You can see them in this vid that I did on different bag liners...

I use a liner by itself in the Texas summers.
Instead of sleeping commando, i wear boxers or longies depending on the weather. Uncomfortable as all get out, but not all my hammocks are coyote brown.
I have a friend who, at first, thought camping hammocks were the dumbest thing he'd ever heard of. Then, after a few years, he got a hammock. However, he still did things (and still does) I would never do. For example, he used a sleeping bag liner inside his sleeping bag, which went inside a waterproof bivy, which went inside a hammock with zippered bugnet. It was absolutely hilarious to listen to him trying to get situated. Seriously, it took him 15 minutes to get comfortable with all that stuff.
And when he had to get up and pee? Fifteen more minutes to get situated again. My friend singlehandedly made my mind up for me that I would never even try to use a sleeping bag liner. I just like to jump in the hammock, pull on the topquilt, and go to sleep!

No liner, but I will often change clothes particularly my shirt. If it’s warm enough for shorts, I just sleep right in those, else I will switch out to camp pants. I usually only take one pair of shorts and pants and just manage that. In the worse case, I can wash and dry one while I wear the other, layer them, whatever works best.
I do need a nice pair of fresh sleeping socks to get comfy.
All this stuff can be gently cleaned so I take reasonable precautions, but I don’t worry about it too much. A good friend of mine always tells me, when it comes to backpacking, less is more.
I either sleep in a baselayer top/bottom and/or use a microfiber topquilt sheet that I made. It's the same design as a topquilt, so it's a breeze to get in/out of. Makes my quilt a touch warmer and cozier, keeps it yuck free, and makes a nice standalone summer quilt on those gross July nights on the plains. I'm more of a sleep weanie than a gram weanie, so I don't mind the extra few ounces.
