Can’t sleep? The best pajamas for women can help with that—and while, there’s no bad time to shop for a new set of PJs, right now feels especially right with the shift in temperature. Be it a classic striped pair, a scallop-edged short set, or a feather-adorned duo, we rounded up Vogue editor-loved and tested styles that prove that sleepwear is a bonafide style category all on its own.
If you’re looking for the perfect gift for women (for yourself or otherwise), there’s plenty to choose from. Lake and Morgan Lane’s sleep sets are bound to be a hit among best friends, mothers, or even brides-to-be, with their sweet silhouettes and feminine-chic details. For those who want something practical and comfortable, Lunya's breathable, washable silk sleepwear is so soft, you’ll never want to get out of bed. (The material works for year-round wear as well, though, notoriously hot sleepers will appreciate the fiber's naturally cooling and moisture-wicking properties.)
Equally popular for the cooler months are Eberjey’s timeless piped sets, which you'll happily wear all weekend long. For the depths of winter, a flannel two-piece—Gap has great ones!—will keep you warm and is preferable if you live in wet, mountainous climates (or have plans to go skiing and are staying in a cute but questionably heated Airbnb). great There are also button-front pajamas for those who seek sleepwear in its most original, iconic silhouette. And for those who are looking for something a little less formal but just as comfortable, Skims’s simple silhouettes will feel like you’re slipping into that familiar favorite worn-in T-shirt to hit the hay.
Ahead, 34 of the best pajamas for women to elevate your sleep.
