Can’t sleep? The season’s best pajamas for women can help with that. And while there’s no wrong time to shop for new PJs, the moment when the air gets cooler and the sunlit hours get shorter feels especially right. Be it a classic striped pair, a plaid burgundy set, or a silky pajama duo rendered in rich jewel tones, we rounded up the styles that prove sleepwear is a style category in a league of its own.
If you’re looking for the perfect gift for women (for yourself, mom, or otherwise), there’s plenty to choose from. Classic shirt styles in crisp poplin and soft jersey abound at Petite Plume, J. Crew, and Lake, available in all manners of color and print. For something that feels a little more extravagant, Lunya’s washable silk sleepwear is so soft you’ll never want to get out of bed. Then there are all the slouchy styles that double as loungewear; throw on a pair of plush slippers, and you
re set for a day of working from home.
For weekend movie marathons, cozy nights in, and special occasions (Sleeper’s fancy feathered set is an outfit in its own right), these are the best pajamas for women.
A little pop (or piping) of red is all you need to get in a festive mood—the fact that Petite Plume makes their set in the softest cotton is just the cherry on top.
Poplin PJs offer a little more structure that'll help you feel put-together if your pajamas double as at-home workwear; this green striped button-down perfectly tailored.
If your top requirement is a super soft matching set, this short sleeve pajama made from stretchy jersey fits the bill. (The lace trim is a sweet touch.)
Lunya’s washable silk takes the fuss out of a notoriously fussy fabric. Combine that with an oversized T-shirt and wide leg pant, and this blush pick feels effortlessly elegant.
From the ice blue hue to the contrast piping, Eberjey’s lightweight jersey pajamas always hit the mark (and, to no one’s surprise, are a perennial best-seller).
A Hanro set (crafted in mercerized cotton) should be in your repertoire for year-round wear. This all-white duo features a collarless top and pants with an elasticized waistline.
Crafted in the most beautiful vintage indigo hue, these soft linen pajamas will transport you to the Mediterranean coastline. They also come in French Blue, Sky Blue, and a crisp white.
Burgundy gingham seems like it would be a winter-only staple, but this set is made from a linen-cotton blend that makes it suitable for wear all year long.
If you’re on the hunt for a classic pajama set complete with shirt striping and a relaxed silhouette, this affordable find from Gap will quickly become a regular in the rotation.
Part of an exclusive collaboration with Madewell and Leset, this soft pointelle set has a pretty scalloped collar and a comfy pull-on elastic waistband.
Your everyday pajamas probably don’t need satin ribbons and ostrich feather-trim—but in the name of indulging in little luxuries, we say, why not?
