The 20 Best Pajamas for Women of 2023

Eberjey Gisele Shortie Short PJ Set

View On Amazon View On Nordstrom View On Bloomingdales

For hot sleepers, there’s no better pair of pajamas than Eberbey’s signature Gisele Shortie Short PJ Set. Made of a sustainable, temperature-regulating fabric called TENCEL, this short sleeve top and shorts duo is incredibly smooth, gently drapey, and—most importantly—very cooling.

Modeled after classic men’s pajamas, the contrast-piped, button-down style is traditional, but the cut is contemporary. The top is slim fit, while the shorts are cheeky. Those seeking a longer, roomier fit with the same cooling fabric and timeless aesthetic can go for the Gisele Relaxed Short PJ Set instead. Eberjey also sells a long-sleeved version if you want to be even cozier.

For a fun, modern upgrade to the nightgown, consider this Hill House Home sleep dress. With adjustable spaghetti straps, a keyhole cutout, and a short, swingy silhouette, it provides minimal coverage for hot sleepers and those who want to show some skin.

J.Crew End-on-End Cotton Long Sleeve Pajama Set

View On Jcrew.com

It doesn’t get any more classic than J.Crew’s End-on-End Cotton Long Sleeve Pajama Set, which features an updated menswear-inspired silhouette with contrast piping, a relaxed collared top, and high-rise drawstring pants. The 100 percent cotton material is crisp and breathable, so this set is suitable for moderately warm sleepers who prefer full-coverage. 

Buying cotton pajamas from J.Crew doesn’t just ensure a soft, comfortable sleep experience—you’re also supporting the brand’s commitment to Better Cotton, a non-profit organization that works to help cotton growing communities thrive, while also protecting and restoring the environment. We call that a win-win pajama purchase. 

Just take note that this set only comes in standard sizing, so particularly tall or short sleepers may find that the sleeve and leg length of these pajamas aren’t the perfect fit.

Knix Flowy Rib Lounge Pant

View On Knix

At a quick glance, this Knix pajama set looks like a sweatsuit. But if you take a moment to notice the material, you’ll realize that both the Knix Flowy Rib Lounge Top and the Flowy Rib Lounge Pant are made of a super soft, lightweight modal material that’s ideal for sleeping. Yet the sweatsuit silhouette means this pair of pajamas also works well for errands and walks around the block.

Once again, the Knix Flowy Rib Lounge Top and Flowy Rib Lounge Pant are not technically a set, since they’re sold separately, but they match perfectly and make for a lovely coordinating ensemble. Plus, we love the ribbed texture.

Even better, they’re available in a range of sizes and styles, so taller and petite people can still find their perfect fit in whatever pattern they choose.

Of course, cold sleepers will appreciate L.L. Bean’s Scotch Plaid Flannel pajamas from bed to couch throughout the chillier months, but hot sleepers shouldn’t discount them—even if these pajamas are too warm for you to wear while slumbering, they make for festive loungewear during snowy mornings and cuddly evenings by the fire.

Lake Pima Tank-Long Set

View On Lakepajamas.com

For some warm sleepers, a tank top and pants is the most comfortable combination available. Those people will love Lake’s Peruvian pima cotton tank-long set, which includes a sleeveless scoop neck top and relaxed pants with an elastic waistband. It comes in five different striped colorways.

Since this set is crafted with 100 percent Peruvian Pima cotton, it will shrink upon first washing. You can expect that the shrinkage will occur mostly in length, so you should size up if you’re tall or between sizes. Also note that, like a lot of cotton garments, this set is best washed in cold water on delicate and laid flat to dry. If you’d prefer simpler instructions, 100 percent cotton garments like these might not be for you.

Madewell Lightestspun Pajama Set

View On Madewell.com

The lightweight, double-layered cotton gauze material of this Madewell pajama set separates it from other cotton sleepwear. Rather than a smooth, uniform feel, you can expect a soft, rippled texture that’s simultaneously breezy and cozy. The airy, cloud-like fabric is truly the best of all worlds—which matches well with the pattern of these pajamas. While the material is light and breezy, the long sleeves and pants are best for slightly chillier weather, making this set great for keeping you warm, but not too warm, during cold winters.

La Ligne Bonne Nuit Shirt Dress

View On Lalignenyc.com

If nightshirts are your jam, then you’ll totally adore La Ligne’s Bonne Nuit Shirt Dress. Made of cotton T-shirt fabric, this fashionable nightshirt offers a loose fit, a curved hem, contrast piping, and a chic collar with a button neck closure. For a more personalized look, you can add a monogram to the chest pocket in a pseudo-handwritten font.

Nightshirts are best for a specific type of sleeper—someone who wants their legs to feel free of constrictive pants, yet wants their arms to be covered and cozy. Just keep in mind that the longer cut means more coverage than an above-the-knee nightgown if you move around a lot in your sleep.

Parachute Organic Cloud Cotton Top

View On Parachute

Parachute’s two-ply organic cotton gauze pajama top is similar to Madewell’s, but in Parachute’s signature neutral hues—and that’s why we love it. The combination of the light, fluffy weight of the fabric and the slightly puckered texture is just a dream. A relaxed fit rounds out the look, so be sure to size down if you like your pajamas more fitted.

While the Organic Cloud Cotton Top and Organic Cloud Cotton Pant aren’t sold as a set, they definitely belong together, whether you opt for a monochromatic vibe or mix and match two different earthy tones. There’s also a matching tee if you prefer that instead of the long-sleeved button down.
