When it comes to lounging about, I’m considered an Olympic athlete. I love to relax and take a breather on the couch for a few hours. Commonly referred to as “rotting”, the act of lying around docile or sitting for hours on end is a sacred time for many.
Whether you’re spacing out on the couch, napping, binge-watching a show, or idly doom-scrolling on your phone, we all know that sometimes you just want curl up inside all day and never see the sun. Or, there are those coveted self-care nights when you’ve an everything shower, your face mask, and an intriguing movie all lined up.
Either way, there are often two things you need when it comes to successfully rotting away for a night: a phone, and an amazing set of pajamas.
This year, a pajama set has become a girl’s best friend. While it’s hard for me to ditch my old, oversized ratty tee and comfy shorts pajama look, I must admit that there’s nothing more cozy than a PJ set.
Your pajamas set the tone for your relaxation time. There’s nothing as satisfying as putting on your matching set post-shower and settling for the night. They’re the ultimate in-between outfit: getting ready? Pajama set. Doing chores around the house? Pajama set.
So now that I’ve fully convinced you that you need a pajama set in your life, it’s time to pick your poison. Whether you like cotton, jersey, velour, or silk, there’s a set out there that will revolutionize your life. Here are our picks for the best pajamas for the sleepiest girls:
Best Cotton Pajamas - Gap Poplin PJ Set
GAP
Cotton is one of the comfiest options when it comes to peejays…and GAP’s Poplin set is so adorable I couldn’t resist. Lightweight, cute stripes, and trendy, these PJ’s are an easy purchase.
Best Pajamas From Target - Auden Women’s Cloud Knit Short Sleeve Pajama Set
We all know that Target is the place to go when it comes to just about anything you need and don’t need. Their loungewear lines are some of the coziest in the game. Target brands like Colsie, Stars & Above are fan favorites.
This weekend alone, I met two girls who swear by the Auden pajama sets. They’re hotel-inspired and super soft (and there’s a model that comes with pants.)
Best Silk Pajamas - Lunya Washable Silk Tee Pant Set
Lunya
For the sweaty sleeper, I’d recommend silks or linens. That goes for bedding, too. Lunya is popular for their pajamas and sleepwear, with luxe materials and fashionable cuts…Lunya is my pick for high-end pajamas. (Plus, how amazing does that shirt look?)
Best Velour Pajamas- Juicy Couture 2 Piece Shirt and Pants Sleep Set
Velour is back in a massive way. I literally just purchased Juicy Couture shorts - it’s 2005 all over again! I suddenly realized that we’ve been neglecting an optiinally comfortable material that’s terrific for warm weather.
This Juicy set will help you live out your Y2K nostalgic dreams. Nothing says Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan in their primes quite like a Juicy Couture fit.
Best Jersey Pajamas - SKIMS Short Sleep Set
SKIMS
It wouldn’t be a complete list of amazing pajama sets without mentioning Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS. SKIMS is the breakout loungewear and underwear brand on the market right now. Love them or hate them, SKIMS is worth the money every time.
Best Pajama Dress - Victoria’s Secret Modal Cotton Sleepshirt
Victoria's Secret
Sometimes, it’s soothing to regress to your childhood…and for that, you need an oversized pajama shirt dress. A sleepshirt is the ultimate hack for a comfortable sleep because it feels like you have nothing on. This one is sweet enough to wear around the house, but equally comfy.
Best Pajama Party Set - Free People x Intimately FP Dreamy Days Pajama Set
Free People
If you’re having a girls night in and the attire is pajamas, make sure your set stands out with these Free People PJ’s! The wide leg pants totally have flare and I’m obsessed with the Western design that’s very in right now.
Best Winter Pajamas - Savage x Fenty Sleek Stitch Sleep Henley
Savage Fenty
Another celebrity item we love is any Fenty brand. Rihanna knows what she’s doing when it comes to running a business (or three) and these Savage x Fenty pajamas are an absolute necessity for you.
Good to keep you warm during the winter, but won’t suffocate you in your sleep.
