The Best Pyjamas For
A Snoozy Season

Here are all the best pyjamas and robes of the season. Covering pyjama bottoms, tops, and sets, our list encompasses men’s and women’s sleepwear.

    The evenings are eating up daytime at an alarming rate and, just like the creatures around us, our primal urges are pushing us to eat more, do less, and sleep all day. Embrace it. Treat yourself to a new set of pyjamas and a plush bathrobe, because who says you can’t look great and go into hibernation?

    Pyjamas are a point of contention, though. While some swear by coordinated sets, others opt for loose shorts, draping shirts, or nothing at all. For those in the latter group, this list of all the best pyjamas of the season might be futile, but for everyone else, our selection, which runs from designer bathrobes through the varied styles of sleepwear, acts as a guide to the perfect sleep.

    For a long time, sleepwear has been overlooked in terms of beauty. Recent years, though, have ushered in a new era for the category. Between the utilitarian and frankly ugly pyjamas of yesteryear and the elegance of lingerie exists a world of designer sleepwear from names like Tekla, SKIMS, Sleeper, CDLP, and more. These labels make use of luxury materials like silk and organic cotton to realize a world where sleepwear can be mixed with everyday clothing, where you don’t need to be ashamed to answer the door in your pj’s.

    Pyjama sets for men and women

    Featured In This Image: Paul Smith pyjama set

    Best known for its tailoring, Paul Smith knows how to tackle a men’s pyjama set. This pure cotton pairing features a spread-collar shirt and waist-tie pants, which are detailed by the label’s signature artist stripe design. The classy yet playful look embodies what has made Paul Smith one of the best British clothing brands in the modern day.

    Featured In This Image: Deiji Studios pyjama set

    Australian label Deiji Studios brings such a stylistic edge to its sustainable pyjamas that they legitimately tread the line between everyday apparel and sleepwear. This set, made from pure OEKO-TEX® 100-certified linen, typifies the brand’s approach with a considered silhouette: Dropped shoulders and a loose curved hem are features you might expect in a luxury shirt.

    Featured In This Image: Sleeper pyjama set

    Sleeper brings the drama. Known for its ostrich feather trims, the brand is clearly of the view that just because garments are designed for bedtime, it doesn’t mean they should be any less flamboyant or joyful.

    Pyjama tops and shirts

    Featured In This Image: Tekla pyjama shirt

    Although it was established in 2017, Tekla quickly became an instrumental force in the reinvention of sleepwear. The brand has been reshaping the discourse around pyjamas with high-end fabrics and collaborations with labels like Stüssy, Jacquemus, and Birkenstock. Cut from pure organic cotton, this striped pyjama shirt for women perfectly exemplifies Tekla’s strengths.

    Featured In This Image: Versace Underwear pyjama shirt

    This cropped silk pyjama shirt from Versace is concrete proof of the dissolving line between sleepwear and daily wear. The spread collar and slinky black build offer equal measures of comfort and refinement.

    Featured In This Image: CDLP pyjama shirt

    For too long, the image of masculine sleepwear and underwear didn’t allow for sexiness. With the help of CDLP, though, it’s a new dawn where the allure of silken fabrics like Lyocell aren’t reserved for women anymore.

    Featured In This Image: Bode pyjama shirt

    The loose, relaxed cuts that make pyjama shirts so comfortable are also what makes them look so effortlessly good. This spotted number from Bode leans fully into the oversized proportions and features premium detailing like mother-of-pearl hardware.

    The best pyjama shorts and bottoms

    Featured In This Image: Agent Provocateur pyjama pants

    This pair of Agent Provocateur pyjama shorts eschews the skimpy straps and floral netting that have become the label’s signatures for a more practical boxer short silhouette. Cut from a stretch silk blend, they’re elegant and comfortable.

    Featured In This Image: SKIMS pyjama pants

    SKIMS hasn’t wasted any time in becoming a definitive voice in the world of women’s underwear and has recently branched into menswear too. Alongside thick stretch underwear, the Kardashian-led label has a range of lesser-known sleepwear that features stars like this pair of baggy poplin pyjama trousers.

    Featured In This Image: Dolce & Gabbana pyjama pants

    Whether you’re skiing or sleeping, long johns are the apex of coziness and, with the D&G logo added, become a display of luxury attitude. This pair of black men’s tights feature contrasting white trims and logos to highlight the high-end Italian provenance.

    Featured In This Image: Sunspel lounge pants

    Devoid of detail, Sunspel’s collections let the fabrics and craftsmanship do the talking. Loved for its men’s underwear, the British stalwart is a trustworthy source for sleepwear, too. Take this pair of gray lounge pants cut from soft, brushed pure cotton: no bold features needed, just the simple things done to the highest standard.

    The best bathrobes

    Featured In This Image: TOM FORD robe

    If TOM FORD’s name is on it, consider it best in class. From clean suede jackets all the way to men’s black terrycloth bathrobes, TOM FORD’s sophistication knows no bounds.

    Featured In This Image: Bottega Veneta robe

    Bottega Veneta’s intrecciato weave rose to prominence as a feature of the house’s leather accessories. It has since become a signature across the board, even as far as bathrobes. Crisscrossing-embossed terrycloth adds a textural finish to this lilac robe, which exudes luxury.

    Featured In This Image: Versace Underwear robe

    Versace’s baroque maximalism details the cuffs and waist of this black terrycloth robe. Against the jet-black backdrop, the iconic floral pattern nods to the opulence that you can’t help but feel whenever you don this robe.

    Featured In This Image: Tekla robe

    In sleepwear circles, a Tekla bathrobe is a mark of authenticity. Heavyweight, practical, and well-made, the design is flawless. There are no bells and whistles but Tekla’s high-end take on the basics has already proven that it’s a winning formula.
