Best women’s pyjamas: sleepwear sets for 2022
While there are some perks of the buzzy office life, namely tea breaks with our work wives and husbands, we can’t help but miss the comfort of our work from home outfits.
We will truly never tire of waking up each morning only to change into equally comfortable clothing. Proper underwear, suits and jeans should be relegated to where they belong - the back of the wardrobe.
Nailing the art of WFH dressing has taken some time, but for those still struggling, it’s worth noting that while some pyjama sets are reserved for catching Z’s, others have the elegance and sophistication to translate effortlessly into daywear. You know the type. The ones you're proud to pop to the shops in, or take out the bins, but are still comfortable enough to lounge in all day long.
In this uncertain time, weekends spent out and about dressed to the nines have been replaced with lazy Sunday morning attire from day to dawn, all day, everyday. With this in mind, it’s worth investing in a high-quality pyjama sets that will put a smile on your face - it’s all about the small things after all.
We have searched far and wide to bring you the cosiest and most covetable pyjama sets for all budgets and in a range of fabrics, from comfortable cotton to sumptuously soft silk.
Prepare to add all to basket.
The White Company Pyjamas
Seasons may come and go but pyjamas from The White Company are forever. They are, simply put, the cosiest pyjamas we’ve ever owned. There are cotton, jersey and silk fabrications that feel sumptuously soft against the skin.
The relaxed fits ensures that this is the kind of sleepwear you’ll want to spend an entire lazy day on the sofa in. There are designs to fit all season but even the long-sleeved iterations (which makes them ideal for the colder months) have breathable constructions, and so you won’t overheat when the warmer weather hits.
Stripe & Stare
Stripe & Stare craft its sumptuously soft knickers, lounge and of course, sleepwear out of a trademarked fabric that is derived from Beechwood Trees. But cast any ideas of coarse bark out of your mind because this brand offers some of the best skin feel on the market. The sustainable pieces are three times softer than cotton, more durable, breathable and comes from responsibly planted forests (as an added bonus, they plant a tree with every order).
The sleepwear includes long and short sets as well as slips and teddies. All come in playful shades and patterns that are cute, feminine and fun. For our favourite set, Stripe & Stare has teamed up with New York label LoveShackFancy, setting its signature floral and bow designs on the former’s staple silhouettes. They are available for women and kids.
Myza Women’s Pyjamas
Here to change up your sleep game, Myza has formed their business to give you the utmost bedtime experience as is reflected by the name that comes from the Swedish word for ‘cosiness’.

They are all made from cotton and put a glamorous twist of your traditional slumber uniform with playful all-over prints featuring the likes of zebras, lobsters, sea horses, leopards and birds. The pieces are given added sophistication with a piped trim, handy pockets and a notched collar at the shirt.
