We understand more than anyone else how easy it is to slip into a worn-out college T-shirt and sweats and fall asleep—trust. After a long day, comfort often takes precedence over style. But, when it comes to quality pajamas, it’s the ultimate win-win: You can upgrade your sleepwear style without sacrificing comfort. “There is something so spoiling about splashing out on an item that makes you feel as good as it looks. Whether you're relaxing at home alone or lounging around on holiday with a loved one, slipping into a beautifully crafted robe or PJ will make you feel really special,” says Olivia von Halle, founder, and creative director of Olivia von Halle, who calls them a wardrobe essential. Don’t believe it? You might be looking in the wrong place or haven’t tried the right sleepwear pieces. That’s why we’ve conducted hours of research, evaluating them on reviews and first-person try-ons, keeping materials, sizing, and price in mind. After reading customer reviews, consulting with our experts, and considering dozens of pajama options, we landed on these top-rated choices, from breathable and washable silks to ultra-soft sleepwear separates that’ll make you put that ratty tee (ahem, you know, the one) at the bottom of your drawer once and for all. Our Top Picks Best Overall: Best Budget: Best Cooling: Best for Winter: Best Nightgown: In This Article Our Picks Where We Stand How We Researched What To Look For FAQ Why Trust Byrdie It would almost seem unqualified to create a PJ roundup and not mention Skims, the lounge and solutionwear brand founded by Kim Kardashian, so much so that it is the only label to make this list twice because — hello! — it’s that good. In particular, this breezy set can be considered the crown jewel of the “Clothing I Want To Live in For The Rest of My Life” category. Not only does this set feel soft to the touch and buttery against the skin, but it is an ideal mix of being cozy without being too hot. We also love that it’s available in sizes XXS-4X and five colorways because adding just one set to your rotation simply just doesn’t feel like enough. Size: XXS-4X | Material: Modal, Spandex | Colors: 5 Try Stars Above, a Target-exclusive label that mirrors the softness of Skims at a wallet-friendly price. The classic PJ set features a short-sleeve button-down shirt and pull-on shorts with piped edging, made with a delicate fabric that ensures style and breathability. TikTok Creator and Curve Model Remi Bader recommends them for their charm, comfort, and remarkable size inclusivity, with sizes extending up to 4X—setting them apart from other brands. Size: XXS-4XL | Material: Modal, Spandex | Colors: 6 Olivia von Halle proves to be—yet again—the pinnacle of pajama perfection.

LAKE’s long-sleeve raglan crewneck and wide-leg sweatpant combo is a pairing so delightful—so comfy and understatedly stylish—you'll question why stereotypical jammies didn't embrace this sweatpant-like coolness from the start. Size: XXS-XXL | Material: Modal, Spandex | Colors: 3 What’s better than silk? I’ll go first: How about washable silk? As in—you don't have to hit up a dry cleaner after wearing this silk set. It’s an oversized sleep tee and shorts that quite literally feel like being wrapped in satin sheets. And the best part is you can enjoy this luxurious experience over and over without leaving your home to re-wear it. Just put it in your machine when it’s time for a wash. Lunya has made the dream of true luxury (AKA staying in all day) a reality with this piece that’s all about ease.

Size: XS-XL | Material: 100% Silk | Colors: 8 Flannel pajamas are great for unwinding by the fireside, but Victoria's Secret fleece sets offer an even better fit—in more ways than one.

Plus, the ultra-cozy yet breathable fabric guarantees the most comfortable pajama experience because, well, you deserve it. Size: XS-XXL, short and long | Material: Modal, Cotton | Colors: 15 Chances are, you’ve seen some type of sleep romper on your IG or TikTok FYP. And we can wholeheartedly say this one is the best. It’s body-hugging (without being too restrictive), super soft and stretchy, and doesn’t ride up. Satin piping makes it feel extra luxe. Plus, it’s a onesie that serves quite the style duality: You can wear this underneath the sheets or your favorite white button-up while running errands.

Size: XXS-4X | Material: Polyamide | Colors: 3 Naturally, we swear by classic cotton PJs, especially when they come in boxer-short form. As a simply designed classic stripe set, this signature style takes on a modern twist: The tuxedo-inspired details like French cuffs feel vintage while giving a contemporary nod to the “borrowed-from-the-boys” boxer aesthetic. We especially love how light and airy they feel, making this linen set an ideal pick for the warmer months. Size: XXS-3XL | Material: 100% Cotton | Colors: Blue If you’re looking to explore the sexier side of the PJ category, Intimissmi is a great place to start. Whether it be their flirty, floral-accented bralettes or their silky bedroom separates, each piece is as well-constructed as it is pretty to gawk at — just like this delicate lace-trimmed camisole and short set.It's made from real silk for breathability and a touch of luxury.

Of course, their cotton jammie sets are as super-soft as their sheets. Size: XS-XXL | Material: 100% Cotton| Colors: 4 Let it be known that these pants from Cozy Earth are as plush as they come. Made from a lightweight stretch-knit bamboo fabric, they’re oversized lounge pants with an adjustable drawstring to add comfort and side pockets for utility, both bonuses to this ultra-stylish silhouette. TLDR: They’re the type of pants that make you wish you could wear sweats to the office. Size: XS-XXL | Material: Bamboo Viscose | Colors: 8 We’re a sucker for all things matchbox print, and so is Fashion Trend Analyst and Writer Mandy Lee—AKA @oldloserinbrooklyn on TikTok—who recs this brightly colored set decorated with mismatched matches from Kate Spade, calling the brand “highly slept on” (no pun intended) for PJs. “They’re great quality, and they last," says Lee. "They get softer after many washes, too.” Size: XS-XL | Material: Cotton, Rayon | Colors: Multi If you’re looking to invest in quality and cozy—emphasis on the word “cozy” because we’re talking incredibly soft—PJs, then Skims Soft Lounge Sleep Set is your best bet for size and style range, alongside their plush fabrics. For a more affordable pick that feels just as scrumptious, we recommend All Stars Above Short Sleep Set. To compile this list, our editors and contributors spent hours researching the best products in this category, evaluating their key features—like materials, size and fit, or design—and reviews from customers and other trusted sources. We also spoke to several experts for their advice on how to select, style, and care for pajamas. FAQ How often should you change your pajamas? The frequency of replacing pajamas is influenced by several things, including how often you wear them, their dual use as sleepwear and homewear, and individual body characteristics. “If you wear the same pair of pajamas every night, they will endure more wear and tear, accumulating body oils and sweat more rapidly," says Veresovaya. In this case, she says, replacing them every 6 to 8 months might be appropriate. Is it healthier to sleep in pajamas or naked? TBH, again—it’s a personal preference! While sleeping naked might be great for skin health and temperature regulation, sleeping in your coziest nighttime fit can offer more comfort and security. Further, by making a habit of putting on pajamas during your night time routine, you can also help signal to your brain that it's time to go to bed. How can I style pajamas to wear outside of the house? If you’re looking to take your sleepwear from bed to brunch, Veresovaya recommends sticking to natural fabrics like cotton, viscose, linen, or silk, which she says “exude luxury and are more suitable for outdoor wear.” She also cautions to avoid materials like flannel or fleece that are distinctly associated with sleepwear.We recommend looking for pieces you can layer with others like Intimissimi Lace and Silk Top and Cosabella Romper.
