The Best Pajamas for Bedtime and Beyond
Common knowledge suggests that you should get eight hours of sleep every night for optimal performance during daytime hours. But, there's no scientific backing that there's only one style of pajamas for women that can induce sweet dreams and optimal snoozing. Instead, pajamas come in all different variations. Long sleeved or short, pants or boxers, and even slip dresses or night shirts are all viable options, depending on what makes you comfortable.
"A dress is great for a super frictionless resting experience and great for someone who enjoys a bit more glamour," suggests Ashley Merrill, founder of sleepwear label Lunya. "Short sleeves versus full sleeves is really about what temperature you run and what flatters your body best." In the midst of summer, you'll likely want to aim for fabrics that will keep you cooler—namely light cottons or silks. As you get in to winter, swap in flannel, fleece, or even cashmere to stay warm.
Great sleepwear these days isn't just about function. As many people navigate a hybrid work schedule, the rules of what hours constitute pajama time have shifted. In fact, not only can elevated sleepwear work for office hours, it's also fitting for drinks or a night out. "I’m also a big fan of separating [Lunya's] washable silk high rise pants set and wearing the parts in an outfit," says Merrill. "On an average day you can find me in the silk pants styled with a vintage band tee or a cropped top and a blazer. Wearing repurposed restwear out makes me feel rebelliously comfortable."
Day or night, shop 25 pajama sets that feel just right at any hour of the day ahead.
