Best luxury silk pyjamas for women
If there was one fashion item to symbolise our lives in 2020 and 2021 thus far, it would be the humble pyjama.
Once an afterthought to the ‘jeans and a nice top’ that we’ve been heavily investing in for years, the sartorial symbol for casualwear has come into its own with searches up 336 per cent according to global fashion search platform Lyst.
But we aren’t talking about your run-of-the-mill, threadbare old concert tees. No, no. The latest crop of pyjamas are far more sophisticated - bringing elegance and style to your nightwear. So much so, we can see some of these sets adorned when life reopens - when we are still reluctant to swap comfies for our pre-lockdown wardrobes.
It is silk pyjamas specifically that have caught our eye. These party-ready pyjamas are the epitome of luxury and will form the basis of your nightwear collection for years to come.
No matter the weather, silk is one of the most sought-after fabrics due to its ability to regulate and adjust your body’s temperature. The material is lightweight but will also keep you warm during the winter. It’s a true transitional material, while also hypoallergenic and sumptuous on the skin.
We have gathered the best - both pure silk and silk-like sets - for your best night’s sleep yet. Fluffy slippers not required.
