A short-sleeve pajama set you’ll want to lounge in all day…
You know those fancy hotel pajamas that you want to take home with you? These are basically those. They’ve got a classic design — a short-sleeve button-up shirt and pants, both with piping trim — and a comfy fit you’ll want to lounge in all day. We love the three color options and size range that extends to 3X. Plus, they’re made from 100% cotton, so those with sensitive skin can sleep soundly. ($69.50, J.Crew)
And a fleece pajama set for the colder weather…
Throw your old long johns out the window, it’s time for an upgrade. This set comes in three dark colors and has a cardigan-style top, so you can pair it with your favorite night shirt (or not). The top has a baggy, relaxed fit and the bottoms fit like leggings to keep the warmth in. ($79, Bare Necessities)
A soft robe with an easy silhouette…
This one’s an HQ’r favorite thanks to its classic fit. It comes in seven colors and is available in sizes XS to XL. We highly recommend pairing it with this cute sleeping romper that comes in all the same colors and is made from the same cotton blend. Sleep in it, lounge in it, work from home in it…we don’t judge. ($115, Monrow)
A striped set from one of our favorite luxury brands…
We can’t stress enough how much we love Scandinavian brand Tekla. If you’re into a boyfriend fit, this matching top and pants set is for you. It’s got an easy neckline, rolled cuffs, and straight-leg trousers (sold separately) you’ll find yourself waiting to hop into at the end of every day. PJs don’t get much chicer than this. ($170, Mr. Porter)
A soft cotton set that won’t shrink in the wash…
Wear it night after night and wash it as often as you’d like. This set is made to last. It comes in two colors — deep blue and blush pink — with a top that’s semi-fitted over your shoulders and the brand’s most relaxed pants to date. BRB, adding to cart. ($89, L.L.Bean)
And a silk robe you can throw in the wash…
We all love a silk robe, but let's be real — hand washing and dry cleaning? Not our favorite. Thankfully, you won’t run into that problem here. This washable silk robe comes in five different colors and hits right at your knee. It’s hypoallergenic and naturally thermoregulating, too. It’s great for bringing spa vibes to your loungewear collection, or as a gift for someone else. ($99.90, Quince)
A feather-trimmed set so chic you could wear it out…
Seriously, pop this set on with a pair of kitten heels and a clutch, and you might be the best-dressed gal out on the town. We’re obsessed with the pink striped set, but the brand has four other patterns and 10 solid colors to choose from. The set’s made from OEKO-TEX viscose and has real ostrich feathers at the cuffs. Not into the feathers? You can detach them. ($450, Sleeper)
A cozy waffle robe you’ll want to snuggle in…
We love a chunky robe to wear straight out of the shower, and this one might take the cake. It’s made from the same fabric as the brand's cult-favorite blankets and comes in seven colors and two oversized fits that hit just below the knee. ($140, Sunday Citizen)
A shift dress made from eco-friendly fabric…
If you’re looking for a nightgown that looks like a going-out dress but feels like a soft hug, this one from Deiji Studios is it. If you wore it out with some strappy sandals, no one would ever know you’re technically wearing pajamas. It’s made from 100% Tencel and has spaghetti straps, a deep V-neck, and a little front tie detail that elevates it from your regular nighttime vibe. ($215, Farfetch)
A sophisticated pants set made from washable silk…
We love the high-rise fit on these pants that give them a polished look — good enough to wear out. The pants have a side slit that promotes air circulation, and the top is cropped to fall right at the waistband. The set’s made from washable silk and the brand has a special mesh bag you can use to keep them in tip-top shape. Snag these in any of the five solid color options, or opt for the watercolor-like pattern to add some fun to your wardrobe. ($278, Lunya)
A funky robe made from Turkish cotton…
This one comes in a two-toned bright green, blue, or red colorway that’ll catch anyone's eye. We love the oversized bell sleeves and hefty material that’ll soak up all the moisture right out the shower. Hard not to feel happy in this one. ($100, Brooklinen)
An oversized shorts set from an HQ’r-favorite brand…
Here’s another Sleeper hit (get it?), because we just can’t get enough of this brand. To be fair, the shorts come with a drawstring waistband, so they’ll fit your hips or midsection nicely. The shirt has a rounded collar and baggy sleeves, perfect for sleeping in. The set’s made from super soft viscose that can be thrown in the wash or taken to dry clean. ($200, Sleeper)
A breezy top made from light gauze…
Oversized fit, check. Matching shorts, check. If you tend to run hot but don’t love opting for the no-pants, no-shirt arrangement, you’ll love the fit and feel of this set. It’s made from 100% cotton gauze with a loose weave that helps air circulation and gets top marks in moisture wicking. Good night’s sleep, incoming. ($16.99, Target)
