Best luxury pajamas to ensure you can relax in style

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?”
