Stylish Christmas pyjamas you'll actually want to wear
I don't know about you, but ever since I was a child, the first thing I would do when I got home from school was take off my uniform and slip into my comfy pyjamas. Decades later and it's still a ritual of mine; whether I've spent the day in the office, an afternoon playing doting auntie, or been on a winter walk. My pyjama collection is eternally expanding, and right now, Christmas pyjamas take centre-stage.
There's no denying that the festive sleepwear category – from pyjama sets to matching nightwear for the family (and your pets?), maternity nightwear, and cosy loungewear – has expanded rapidly over the decades. But as the options have evolved, so has our perception of it. Once upon a time, it was the ultimate fashion faux pas to be spotted in your Christmas pyjamas doing a last-minute supermarket dash for a midnight snack. Now, we actively style our Chrtistmas pyjama sets to wear out the house for daytime and evening events.
Take Sleeper's Feather-Trimmed Crepe De Chine Pajama Set, for example. It sparked the feather-trim trend and encouraged us to wear our chic nightwear outside of the bedroom. Elsewhere, Damson Madder and TBCo have proven oversized Peter Pan collars to not just a style of shirt to wear to the office.
Some of the best pyjamas this Christmas (and every Yuletide for that matter) are typically red colour-block designs, or tartan and fair isle prints. While they are still in demand, we've also spotted candy cane-inspired pyjamas, feather and ruffle frill hems in abundance, and PJs laden with bows. As for fabric? Cotton remains popular – it's soft against the skin and breathable – but luxury Christmas pyjamas crafted from satin textures and plush velvet fabrics are fast replacing our party dress collection to take us from “bus, club, another club” and then to bed.
Whether you are preparing to spend the whole of December in your Christmas pyjamas, or you're swapping your cushioned slippers for a pair of kitten heels or pointed-toe stilettos to team with your pyjamas for a night out, there is a vast selection of Christmas pyjamas to buy now and wear for months to come.
Ahead, my favourite Christmas pyjamas to buy before they sell out.
Pair with the matching bottoms, or size up and wear on its own as a loose-fit festive nightshirt.
Sizes available: XS to XXL
A crisp white pair of cotton pyjamas will see you through all seasons. While we would snuggle up in bed wearing this two piece, it could easily be worn out in the day on holiday - just roll up the sleeves for a relaxed fit.
Sizes available: XS to XL
Chelsea Peers has truly spoilt shoppers with its stunning array of pyjamas, including matching sets and maternity nightwear. But this Satin Stripe PJ Set could easily be mistaken for a chic co-ord you could style for the day or night. Pair with trainers and a cream jumper, which you can slip over your head or drape over your shoulders, for the day. Come the evening, slip into your slingback heels and add chic accessories for cocktails with your besties.
Sizes available: 6 to 18

We love a viral sensation, and that's exactly what Boux Avenue's PJs in a Bag are. One PJ set (housed in a matching bag) is sold every 45 seconds on TikTok. We don't want to admit how many minutes we make up shopping this coveted PJ set.
Sizes available: 6 to 18

Fa-la-la-love to co-ordinate with your family? There's no better place to shop Christmas PJs to match with your family than M&S. All you need is a hot chocolate with marshmallows, cocooned in a throw snuggled up on the sofa with a roaring fire and your favourite Christmas film. The Holiday anyone?

We have seen several brides adorn Nadine Merabi's satin PJs with feather cuffs as they get their hair and make-up done on their special day. While you could easily lounge in this set, catch your 40 winks in them, they make a stunning evening outfit too.
Sizes available: XS to XXL
This vintage-inspired set is a chic alternative to conventional red pyjamas. It may be one of the most luxe pairs of pyjamas to wear to bed. So, if you want to show it off to the world, we would swap the PJ bottoms for velvet trousers and marry with a pair of kitten heeled boots for date night.
Sizes available: 8 to 22
Looking for Christmas pyjamas, but you don't necessarily want them to scream Christmas/Santa's biggest fan? Look no further. This red and white stripe design is giving candy cane vibes, and is a subtle nod to the festive season, though you could definitely wear well into the New Year.
Sizes available: Small, Medium, Large
