Best luxury pajamas to ensure you can relax in style
18 of the best luxury pajamas that are so chic and comfortable, you'll never want to take them off
Are you looking to invest in the best luxury pajamas? If the answer’s yes, then sit back, relax and read on. There are many reasons why spending a bit more on women's designer pajamas is a good idea.
With premium, high-quality fabrics, unique prints and well-thought-out cuts, when it comes to the best luxury pajamas, you’re buying both quality and durability. Given that we spend around a third of our lifetime sleeping, it’s worth investing in the best. As Ella Ringer, director of the luxury lifestyle brand Yolke says, “Changing into a pair of soft pajamas, preferably ones with the added benefit of silk, will regulate your body temperature, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer”. Sounds dreamy eh?
Ever since Thakoon sent models down the runway in pajamas in 2016, the idea of nightwear as daywear has become increasingly popular, meaning if you bag yourself something silky and lovely, it could be more versatile than you think. As Kristi Edwards, creative director of luxury sleepwear brand Hesper Fox puts it, “I think of PJs as an extension of my wardrobe. I take time to think about what I’m wearing when other people see me and how I show myself to the world matters to me, so I figure why wouldn’t I give the same attention to how I dress at home?”

This red-hot style works well beyond being the best valentine's day pajamas. La Perla defines romance with its nightwear offering, producing some of the best silk pajamas.
“Made by women, for women”. Already one of the best Italian lingerie brands, its craftsmanship is evident from the high quality and meticulous detailing seen in each piece. With a 60-year heritage, La Perla certainly knows a thing or two when it comes to lingerie and nightwear. This top would be an easy addition to work into a night-out look. We love a super luxurious silk shirt with a pair of skinny jeans and heels for timeless style; button up to the top for a sharp fashion look or leave a few left open for a more relaxed feel.
2. J. Crew Long-sleeve Cotton Poplin Pajama

There’s a reason why these J. Crew jammies are a best seller. This style comes in three colorways and we literally can’t decide which we like the most. With this menswear-inspired striped pair, we recommend sizing up for that borrowed-from-the-boys look. Luckily there’s a great range of sizes, going from a 00 up to a size 24. These are a lightweight 100% cotton style so ideal for the warmer months whether you’re lounging around on a Sunday morning or catching some well-earned beauty sleep. Want to know the best bit? These pajamas are online only so you can shop straight from your bed!
3. Sleeper Party Pajama Set

Is there anything more decadent than a feather trim set of pajamas? We don’t think so, especially when every single garment from Kiev-based Sleeper is handmade. With more than a touch of the roaring '20s about it, this versatile set will take you straight from party to pillow. Wear with a heeled loafer for a retro party vibe and keep accessories and jewelry to a minimum. The feather trim is detachable so there’s no need to worry about them getting damaged whilst you’re sleeping. Sleeper has an array of celebrity fans, such as Katy Perry, Brie Larson and Lena Dunham to name a few and the brand remains at the top of most fashionistas wish list too.

Marcia Kilgore is the brains behind Beauty Pie; the subscription-based online beauty emporium. You’d be forgiven for thinking it’s limited to beauty products but there’s also a small amount of loungewear; such as cashmere beanies, eye masks and some of the best luxury pajamas so whilst you’re shopping for beauty buys why not stock up on some sleepwear too? We love the simplicity of this timeless and comfortable monochrome set, which currently only comes in grey and white. Available in five sizes, the relaxed, drapey cut is sure to provide maximum comfort whilst sleeping. We think they’d be perfect for a Bachelorette party or weekend away with the girls. Why not add a face mask to your basket for ultimate relaxation time.

This fun zebra print from Averie Sleep makes getting ready for bed a joy. With an array of tropical and exotic animal prints, these pajamas conjure up notions of travel, holidays and warmer climates. Determined to do its best for the planet, Averie Sleep promotes slow fashion, this means they don’t start printing, cutting, sewing or shipping until they receive a pre-order. If you become a fan of the brand, then it’s worth noting they offer a 30% discount on pre-orders of new styles to encourage on-demand shopping. This enables a reduction of waste due to little overproduction and inevitably less waste going to landfill - that’s a big yes from us.
7. Nordstrom Cashmere Pajamas
Specifications

Reasons to avoid
Is there anything that sounds more relaxing than ‘cashmere pajamas’? We don’t think so. The best cashmere sweaters and socks are often our go-to for a warm and comforting night in, and these loose-fitting pajamas with wide sleeves and flowing pants are ideal for chilling out in. The feminine, dusky pink shade also comes in a cool charcoal or pale grey, and whilst these are clearly not party pieces, they would be a great choice for what to wear on a plane. The stretch adds a practical element, while the cashmere delivers on luxury.

Blurring the lines between nightwear and ready-to-wear, its pretty pieces are too good to be just for bed. We love the whimsical juxtaposition of musical instruments and flowers in this style where every time you study them you find a new interesting detail. The red piping makes for an unexpected clash against the pink background. Rumour has it, Kendall Jenner and Taylor Hill are fans of these unique, beautiful designs too.

These feminine pajamas jumped out at us for their interesting crop. We like the 3/4 sleeve and the cropped pants made them a great option for warm weather if you don't want to wear a camisole and shorts set. Made from silk, they provide that slinky, luxe feel for sleeping in, while keeping you cool in the process and the brown trim subtly compliments the pale pink shade. The top could be paired with some tailored wide-leg trousers or even worn over a cream roll neck for a layered look.
