The best women's pyjamas for sleeping, lounging and working – from silk and satin to soft fleece

Stay cosy in these gorgeous sets from SKIMS, Stripe & Stare, and more... 🧸

By and

We consider finding the best women’s pyjamas on the internet a very important job. After all, whether you’re working from home under a snuggly electric blanket (hands up who’s guilty of wearing PJ bottoms on a Teams meeting...?), or hopping under your duvet for your beauty sleep, a good pair of jammies is essential. And when the temperature starts to drop, we need pyjamas that are cosy and warming but don’t leave us sweating buckets between the sheets.

Functionality isn’t the only consideration. The average human will spend around 26 years (yes, years) sleeping, so the best women’s PJs are comfy AF while still showcasing just a little bit of your personal style. Piped satin is a top pick for gals that favour elegance, bold prints are perfect for playful peeps, jersey styles will satisfy the practical-minded, while luxe, silk sets are a go-to for sleeping beauties looking to luxuriate in the bedroom.

Better still, some PJs can really elevate your capsule wardrobe. Take Sleeper, for example. Its pyjama sets are so fancy thanks to its trademark feathered hems, that we’ll be shunning sequins and dresses this party szn in favour of the brand’s two pieces styled with heels. Investment pyjamas, who’d have thought?

Speaking of celebrations, a sleep set also makes the perfect gift at this time of year: they’re a want and a need. While you’re browsing, be sure to bookmark any designs your mum/pal/sister might love.

From luxurious silk cami sets to good ol’ fashioned striped styles, here are the best women’s pyjamas to buy for yourself or a loved one RN...
