"To get one's panties in a bunch", from
[Wikitionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/get_one%27s_panties_in_a_bunch):

> To become overwrought or unnecessarily upset over a trivial matter. [Usually
> used towards women.]

What is the closest Japanese equivalent expression to this? (Hopefully,
there's a bit more than just a simple 落ち着いて).

What is the closest equivalent expression to "don't get your panties in a bunch"?
落ち着いて is the most commonly used phrase used to tell someone to calm down.
However, there are several ways to simply state that someone is annoyed or
overly upset. Eg. いらいら, 怒る{おこる}.

If someone is getting annoyed over trivial matters you can use the word
些細｛ささい｝to describe the matter.

> 彼は些細｛ささい｝なことで怒っている
>
> He is angry over trivial matters.

There may be an even closer translation, but this one is pretty close.

You might be able to extend that to requests.

> 些細｛ささい｝なことで怒らないで
>
> Don't get angry over little things.

But this might not be very natural. Usually if someone were getting uptight
over little things I would probably tell them (if they were close) something
like:

> 些細｛ささい｝なものに過ぎないよ。落ち着いてよ。
>
> It's nothing more than a trivial thing. Calm down.

or

> 何もないよ。落ち着いて
>
> It's nothing. Calm yourself.
