10 pairs of the warmest pajamas to wear over winter

The warmest pajamas are a must in colder months, helping to keep you snug both for lounging and when snuggled up in bed. With heaps of luxury options, and cozy tactile designs, the warmest pajamas will ensure you look and feel great this January.

Although spring is on the horizon, there is still plenty of cold, winter days left on the calendar and the warmest pajamas will ensure that you beat the chill with ease. Taking on many different guises the main things that dictate whether pajamas are warm or not is the shape and the fabric used in production. Long sleeved and full legged pants will naturally offer more warmth and protection than short sleeved or camisole pajamas or shorts. 

Fabric is also key to getting the warmest pajamas and natural fibers help to regulate your body temperature. This means that they trap enough air to keep you comfortable, but are also breathable, helping to avoid that sweaty feeling when you wake up. Silk, cotton, modal and wool-blends are all good fabric options, but often come with a heavier price tag, as they are natural fibers. To keep costs down, you may want to look at synthetic fibers such as borgs and fleeces, which can also help to create some of the warmest pajamas, but at a fraction of the cost. These sometimes can have less breathability, but are very good for trapping warmth in.
