LilySilk: Best silk pajamas for women
One of our biggest sleepwear frustrations is an elastic that constantly rides up or slides down in the night. Striking the perfect balance between fitting and freeing is no small feat. However, LilySilk has mastered it by only putting elastic in the back half of the waist, leaving the front smooth and unrestricted.
Available in a range of minimalist colors, from Claret red to Navy blue to Avocado green, this luxurious pajama set is made from the brand’s signature A Grade quality Mulberry silk. And while we’ve tried many silk pajamas that have made our soul sing, we are yet to find a set as soft, smooth and breathable as this pair by LilySilk. The fact that they’re equally dreamy for the planet is just a (much-appreciated) bonus.
Best for: | Combining with a hydrating face mask and a glass of wine |
Color: | Navy blue, Claret, Rosy pink, and more. |
Size range: | XS – XXL |

Its fluid satin is light and lustrous, keeping you cozy in bed without being overbearing. If any pajamas can help you to sleep through the night without any disturbances, it’s these. The Sleeper Satin pajama set is one that’ll quickly become your new favorite with silky smooth material that you’ll find yourself running your fingers across each night.

Rails Darcie: Best women’s flannel pajamas
There’s a reason why flannel pajamas are so popular and that’s because, in the vast world of cozy clothes and nightwear, you can’t fault them. A failsafe option that you’ll pull on in times of comfort, flannel pajamas will have you dreaming of relaxing weekends and easy Sunday mornings with a freshly poured coffee in hand. Rails Darcie checked flannel pajama set is a pair you’ll definitely get your money’s worth from, wearing them again and again and only taking a quick break to put them in the wash.
And when they return, freshly laundered and smelling beautiful, you’d be forgiven for putting them straight back on — no matter what time of day it is. A cute pastel pink and green check pattern complements the vintage style of this pajama top and the ultra-sweet matching bottoms seal the deal for a cute and feminine pair that anyone would love.
Best for: | The outfit equivalent of having someone stroke your hair |
Color: | White |
Size range: | XS – XL |
Sleeper Linen: Best linen pajamas for women
Few pieces of sleepwear are quite as stylish as those produced by Sleeper and the brand has, rightfully, made a name for itself among fashion editors and influencers as one to watch. And never has that rung more true than with Sleeper’s linen pajamas — a pair that ensure you go to sleep and wake up just as on trend as you feel during day-to-day activities. Sleeper’s Ruffled linen pajama set is as fashionable as it is cutesy.
Slightly oversized with ruffles on the arms and the legs, it’s a set that blends the line between sleepwear and loungewear. A neat stand collar adds a formal touch and, when paired with some smart white trainers, you could probably get away with wearing these outside of the house, too. Cut from lightweight, breathable linen, these PJs are perfect to wear on warmer evenings.
Best for: | Being Vogue-ready even at bedtime |
Color: | Navy |

Parachute: Best loungewear for women
Loungewear is the word on everybody’s lips this year and it’s become the surprising trend we wished for but never predicted. A great option for working from home or casual Sunday morning brunch in bed, the Parachute Women’s Waffle Lounge Set will see you through all of those occasions when you bail at last minute to put on a good film instead of going out. Comfy and cozy, they might even become your main reason for staying in the house.
This lounge set comes in two gorgeously muted shades that are stylish enough to wear together or separately. The perpetually-cool color-blocking trend will encourage you to wear the crew neck jumper and joggers at the same time, while the understated nature of both pieces makes them great for throwing on with mismatched options too. Popping to the shop has never looked so great.

Color: | Clay, slate |

Desmond & Dempsey: Best organic pajamas for women
Organic pajamas ensure an extra boost of positivity before you go to bed knowing that you’re supporting the fashion industry in a fashion-forward manner. Of course, it’s always an added bonus when those sustainably-shopped pajamas look just as glamorous and high-quality as they feel.
Desmond and Dempsey’s India printed organic cotton pajama set comes in a rich midnight blue shade that’ll have you dreaming of exotic destinations across the planet. Slightly oversized with a one-of-a-kind print that’s hand-painted in the brand’s London workshop, these unique pajamas are a winning pair from start to finish. This India set is inspired by The Jungle Book and will have you gently thumbing the fabric while you daydream of your next holiday to a far-flung destination.
Best for: | Any woman who loves to sleep as sustainably as she shops |
Color: | Navy |
Size range: | XS – XL |
DIDK: Cutest pajama set for women
Sometimes after a long and stressful day, the only thing you want to do is get home, pull on your coziest pajamas, make a hot drink and get into bed. The sexy satins and luxurious silks are great, but might not offer the level of comfort that you’re looking for. Enter: the cute printed PJs that won’t win you any seduction points but will guarantee a feeling of restfulness and peace.
Even the most “high fashion” of women own a pair of these and that’s because they can’t be faulted for doing this exact job: providing comfort in times of stress. DIDK Women’s Cute Cartoon Print Tee and Shorts come in a huge variety of mix-and-match prints, which means no matter whether you prefer cutesy avocado slogans, soft pink banana bottoms or palm-printed and panda patterned sets, there’s a pair that you’ll love.

Skin Pima: Best pajama shorts sets for women
Pajama short sets are a key part of your wardrobe for summer times, transitional periods between seasons and for floating around the house before you’re awake enough to have a shower and get dressed. The best pairs of pajama shorts are fashionable enough to kid any unsuspecting guests that you’re already up and ready to go.
Skin’s Pima cotton-jersey pajama set is so soft and soothing that it’ll almost feel like a second skin —and one you’d be forgiven for wearing night after night. The nautical-esque design of these PJs is bang-on-trend and promises to never go out of style. But the main attraction to Skin’s pajamas is just how inexplicably comfortable they are. Pima cotton jersey combines with a relaxed fit and lightweight, elasticated shorts in a pair of pajamas that tick all of the boxes.

Color: | Blue |
Size range: | XS – XL |
Summersalt Cloud 9: Best women’s pajamas with long sleeves
Those cold winter nights almost guarantee it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning and we’re about to make things even trickier — in the best way possible. You’ll want to start stocking up on some warm and cozy pajamas before the cooler season hits and what better way to do just that than with a pair of Summersalt PJs? The Cloud 9 Silky PJ Set comes in a variety of eye-catching prints that’ll help to wake you up, even if you can’t quite make it out of bed yet.
The long sleeves are silky and soft, helping you to have a great night’s sleep in an outfit that’s made for colder occasions. Contrast piping and the addition of pockets also makes these a great option for lazing around in the morning. And if it doesn’t feel cold enough but you want to wear them anyway, we wouldn’t blame you for opening the windows or turning on the AC.

Color: | Leopard, rainbow, stripe |
Size range: | XS – 2XL |
Summersalt All Day & Night: Most comfortable pajamas for women
Comfortable pajamas are both a blessing and a curse and, while we firmly believe that all pajamas should be comfortable, these ones win the award for being unbelievably snug, warm, cozy, and any other similar words you can think of. If you’re looking for a failsafe option that’ll send you to sleep faster than listening to the football scores can, these pajamas are set to be your new nighttime BFF.

A barely-there pair of pajamas that can work their magic and have you falling softly to sleep in no time comes from Skin. The brand’s Mélange Pima cotton-jersey pajama set is gentle and soft in a chic heather grey color that’s laid-back and understated.

Angelina: Best women’s pajamas for winter
One of the best parts of winter, if not the best part, is that enviable cozy feeling when you’re inside for the day, the central heating and the fire are both on and you’re getting cozy on the sofa with a mug of steaming hot chocolate in front of you. No matter how much you love the summer months, it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t appreciate that unique wintery evening setting.
The perfect companion to your fresh-off-the-radiator fluffy socks and perfectly milky cocoa is a great pair of pajamas. These cozy fleece pajamas ensure that very special feeling of safety and security from the moment you slip them on.

Latuza: Best women’s pajamas for night sweats
Lightweight pajamas are crucial if you’re someone who suffers from night sweats. If you struggle with waking up in the night far warmer than anticipated, you’ve probably already made the jump to wearing shortie PJs for optimum air distribution. Our favorite pair to ensure you wake up fresh in the morning are Latuza Women’s V-neck Sleepwear Short Sleeve Pajama Set.
In a stylish teal blue shade (with plenty of other options if you’d prefer), these pajamas are loose-fitting and soft and a real pleasure to slip on just before bedtime. A wide v-neck style means less chance of overheating in the middle of the night and a gentle bamboo material makes them a good quality as well as fashionable pair. This fabric is known for being slightly cooling as well as soft, which makes it perfect for night sweats or those summer evenings when it’s just too hot inside and out.
Best for: | Waking up feeling clean and refreshed |
Color: | Teal, grey, lavender |
Size range: | XS – 4XL |
Cuyana Pima Modal: Best night robe
You’ll want a robe in your closet for countless occasions. Along with chilly mornings, you’ll find yourself throwing this on to make your first coffee of the day, when curling up on the sofa on a Sunday morning, and for spontaneously pulling on if the postman turns up earlier than anticipated. Bonus points if it’s cute and cozy, which this one definitely is. Cuyana’s Pima Modal Robe is set to become your new best friend and one that promises to stick around for a while.
This will be the robe that you struggle to bring yourself to take off when it’s really very much time to get dressed, and the first thing you’ll put on when you get home for the evening. Two neutral shades mean even the most fashion-conscious women won’t have a problem styling this piece with the rest of their loungewear. Although, its luxurious fluffy material guarantees you’ll fall in love with it anyway.

La Perla: Softest pajamas for women
La Perla is one of those brands that you’ll aspire to own as a teenager and then feel an overwhelming sense of joy and achievement when you can finally open your drawers and see your own pieces shining brightly. There’s a reason this brand is so well known and it’s for its ridiculously high-quality fabrics that promise to make you feel just like a queen.
The definition of luxe sleepwear, La Perla’s Silk-satin pajama set is our top choice for achingly soft lightweight pajamas that you’ll immediately add to your basket. Not many pajamas will make you feel the same way La Perla does and a whimsical baby pink shade is the magical, angelic finishing touch. The only way you could possibly upgrade this set would be by teaming it with a matching silk-satin robe and lying down to sleep on top of some beautiful silk pillowcases.
Best for: | Swanning around the house with a glass of champagne in hand |
Color: | Baby pink |
Size range: | XXS – XL |
Skin Catherine: Best nightdress for women
Nightdresses might remind you of Victorian times and of phrases like “retiring to my bedroom” but, in truth, nightdresses are making a comeback in more than one way. As well as being a popular high fashion choice for outerwear styling, nightdresses are rightfully regaining their popularity as a sleepwear staple. Avoid cliches of the past and dressing like your grandma by choosing a nightdress from a stylish brand like Skin and in a color that promises to let you slumber with sweet dreams.
Skin’s Catherine Pima cotton-jersey nightdress is a popular and easygoing choice that you’ll slip right into before climbing into bed.

Contrary to what you might have assumed, silk pajamas don’t have to be expensive and it’s definitely possible to find a cute pair that won’t keep you awake at night thinking about how much you spent. Budget options are widely available but not all of them are as silky smooth as the expensive ones. For a pair that feel incredible without costing too much, opt for LONXU Women’s Silk Satin Pajamas.

Style guide to women’s pajamas
Pajamas come in all shapes and sizes but for the ultimate night’s sleep, you’ll want to spend some time finding your perfect pair.
Length
Long-sleeve PJs with full-length bottoms are far cozier but not ideal if you live in a warm climate or heat up easily at night. Shorter PJs are often the more versatile choice if you’re looking for a pair to wear year-round.
Material
Silk satin is the most luxurious option but if comfort is key, opt for cotton, flannel or linen. Those who suffer from night sweats should choose breathable and natural fabrics and anyone wanting a cozy pair for winter should look for fleece-lined fabrics.
Fit
Most pajamas come in a relaxed fit but, if you’re looking to impress, a cute satin nightdress or sleek silky shorts and vest might be more suitable. Due to the relaxed fit, it’s often fine to stick to your usual size rather than sizing up when it comes to pajamas, unless you’re after a super oversized fit.
