11 best luxury pyjamas to elevate your bedtime routine
Featured in this article
There's nothing wrong with that oversized t-shirt you've worn to bed for years. However, I would say that investing in luxury pyjamas has significantly improved my evenings. Now I run home from the office, keen to swap my outside clothes for a silk co-ord or cotton top and shorts that practically swaddle me in softness.
And, really, it makes sense — we treat ourselves to the latest designer bags and trinkets from the best jewellery brands all the time, so why not add quality sleepwear to your wishlist, too?
Don't get me wrong, spending upwards of £100 can seem extravagant (and perhaps unnecessary) when your favourite high-street online brands do pyjama sets so well. However, if you're looking to elevate your nightly routine, then this is the solution.
So, what makes women's pyjamas (i.e. pyjama tops and pyjama bottoms) luxurious? They're either crafted to an exquisite standard — the best silk pyjamas fit into this bracket, as do sets crafted from cashmere, linen and Supima cotton — or designed with considerate details (oversized pockets and no-slip buttons).
However, you'll want to ensure your splurge on luxury pyjamas is worthwhile — hence why I've personally tested more than 25 pairs ahead of drafting this edit. So, read on to discover the very best new season sleepwear, including short pyjama sets and pure silk trousers with matching shirts from the likes of Eberjey, LilySilk and The White Company. And if you're in the market for a new dressing gown, we've reviewed those too.
Ahead, our edit of the best luxury pyjamas for 2026, approved by Glamour's shopping editors:
- Sizes: XXS (UK 0) — 4X (26-28).
- Material: 91% modal, 9% elastane.
- Care: Machine wash cold.
What can't Kim K do? From confidence-boosting shapewear to elevated loungewear, her brand is often rewarded with five-star reviews. And I couldn't help but follow suit when it came to the Soft Lounge Sleep Set. Crafted from 91% modal, it's almost velvet-like in nature, hugging the skin in a cosy (but never clammy) fabric. Size-wise, I stuck with my usual and felt as though there was enough stretch to accommodate predictable fluctuations — AKA my pre-menstrual bloat. My only caveat is that price tag. Considering they felt similar in quality and style to the yellow pair from The White Company, I'm not entirely convinced the additional £45 is necessary? Are we just paying for the name and TikTok acclaim?
Pros & ConsPros- Extensive size range, accommodating every size from a UK 0 to 26-28.
- Rated 4.9-stars by 1.46k shoppers.
- 7 colourways, including neutral and seasonal hues.
Cons- Expensive — you're paying largely for the SKIMS name.
2/11Best silk pyjamas
- Sizes: XS (UK 8) — XL (18).
- Material: 100% silk charmeuse.
- Care: Hand wash cold or dry clean.
Inspired by the wall tiles of The Green Room in the Pena Palace, there's no denying this silk set exudes luxury. But for (almost) £200, I expected a near-perfect pair of pyjamas. Reassuringly, the charmuese material glided across my hands, almost like water — and even when on my body, it didn't limit my movement. Super lightweight and cut into a relaxed fit, I didn't feel claustrophobic or clammy. However, the fact that I couldn't pop these in the washing machine gave me intense anxiety when consuming anything other than water while wearing them. Certainly, a pair reserved exclusively for special occasions.

Pros & ConsPros- Suitable for use as an evening co-ord or night-time wear.
- There's the option to get them made in a custom size for an extra £20.
- Finished with mother-of-pearl buttons.
Cons- Slow shipping (6-8 days).
Jersey Relaxed Piped Pyjama Set
- Sizes: XS (UK 4-6) — XL (18).
- Material: 95% viscose (LENZING ECOVERO), 5% elastane.
- Care: Machine wash.
A safe bet when shopping for a gift for her? The White Company, considering its homeware, clothing and smelly gift sets scream ‘quiet luxury’. And while the pair tends to offer up timeless classics, it's fed into the butter yellow (although online described as ‘macadamia’) trend with this pair of viscose pjs. Super stretchy — not that they would, but if my boyfriend or best friend wanted to share a pair, we could — and finished with mother-of-pearl buttons, these are practical luxury, in that they look super chic but serve as wearable comfort too.
Pros & ConsPros- Stretchy viscose material, so stick with your usual size.
- On-trend butter yellow colour and finished with mother-of-pearl buttons.
- Relaxed fit, with dropped shoulders and full-length sleeves, makes these super cosy.
Cons- Some might find the drapey material unflattering.
4/11Best luxury bride pyjamas
- Sizes: XS (UK 8) — XL (18).
- Material: 100% silk charmeuse.
- Care: Hand wash cold or dry clean.
While most brides consider satin or silk pyjamas, the one thing I don't want is to overhear while having my hair and makeup done. While unable to test this for real, considering I'm still very much a girlfriend, this 100% cotton set did keep me cool and covered as I prepped for my 30th birthday bash. Obvious to me, when running around my venue ahead of my party, was that the shorts are far more practical than a slip, which has both the potential to slip off my shoulders or slide up. Plus, you can wear it as a co-ord for a day sightseeing or hopping between pools on your honeymoon, too.
Pros & ConsPros- Flattering, floaty A-line silhouette.
- 1.5cm wide adjustable straps.
- The shorts are the brand's longest to date, preventing uncomfortable caving or chafing.
Cons- Fairly sheer.
Inez Washable Silk Short PJ Set
- Sizes: XS (UK 0-2) — XL (16).
- Material: 100% silk.
- Care: Machine wash cold on delicate cycle. Mesh washbag recommended.
One of my primary recommendations when people are struggling for present ideas? An erberjey silk pillowcase, which is not only gentler on hair than standard cotton, but also absorbs less of the sleeper's skincare too.
Pyjama-wise, these were the best silk pyjamas I tried when researching for this edit — and not only because they were one of the only machine-washable pairs. Roomy enough not to limit my movement, and not large enough to drown me, I'd recommend taking your usual size. But I also couldn't help but think how they'd be the ideal ‘something blue’ for a bride to be…
Pros & ConsPros- Fabric is produced using bluesign®-certified processes and verified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 — AKA without harmful chemicals or dyes.
- Hypoallergenic and thermoregulating.
- Mid-rise shorts with an elasticated waistband.
Cons- No petite or tall option, meaning those shorts are mini for those 5'10" and up.
White Linen Blend Pyjama Trouser Set
- Sizes: XS (UK 6) — XXL (16).
- Material: 55% linen, 45% cotton.
- Care: Machine wash.
Piglet in Bed is my go-to for linen bedding, my Botanical Green Gingham Linen Blend Duvet Set expertly delivering the desired cottage-core effect. But it also works to keep this certified sweaty girl cool overnight. Safe to say, I was hoping for the same effect with its linen pyjamas.
Being a mix of linen and cotton, these didn't crease nearly as badly as I was expecting — plus, they scored highly in terms of comfort, not at all coarse or stiff against my (very sensitive) skin. I recommend sizing up one, as I personally found this pair a little short in the legs and arms. And for those wondering, your modesty is protected, as despite the high (55%) linen content, they weren't totally see-through.
Pros & ConsPros- The addition of cotton prevents excessive creasing.
- There's the option to personalise your pair with your initials.
- I can confirm these aren't sheer or see-through.
Cons- Not especially size-inclusive.
- Sizes: XS (UK 0) — XL (12).
- Material: 98% organic cotton, 2% spandex.
- Care: Hand wash cold or dry clean.
Known for its elevated basics, it's no real surprise that Reformation impressed me in the bedroom, too. I personally loved the green gingham print, finding it not too overstimulating and a fun option for brides who don't want to stick with the tradition of stark white. In terms of comfort and fit, there's no denying that the size range is poor, with an XL being the equivalent of a UK 12. Considering I'm usually a size 14, and occasionally size up to a 16 for added comfort, I found these snug, despite the fit being described as ‘relaxed’. They also, despite the addition of spandex, had minimal stretch.

Pros & ConsPros- Crafted from breathable cotton.
- Brand takes an eco-conscious approach to new clothing, sharing that the footprint of this set is about 26 lbs. of CO2.
- Free shipping over £100.
Cons- Poor size range.
Party Pajamas Set with Detachable Feathers
- Sizes: XS (UK 4) — XL (18).
- Material: 100% viscose.
- Care: Hand wash cold or dry clean.
While Sleeper has branched out to offer an array of summer dresses, fur-lined outerwear, and accessories, feather-trimmed pyjama sets are what the Ukrainian brand is arguably best known for. One of the fashion set's favourites for maximalist wardrobe additions, these shirt and trouser combos are rarely saved for lounging at home — unless, like me, you want to severely upgrade your next night-in. Coming up a little small, I opted for a size L for the perfect relaxed fit. But the viscose material (post- intense steaming) felt gorgeous against my skin. Also, being cool to the touch, they kept me from overheating once in bed — but yes, I did opt to remove the feathers first.
Pros & ConsPros- Equally suited for celebrations or quiet evenings at home.
- Each set is carefully handmade over 6-12 hours by a single master tailor.
- Detachable feather cuffs.
Cons- Hand wash in cold water only.
- Sizes: XS (UK 8) — XL (18).
- Material: 100% silk charmeuse.
- Care: Hand wash cold or dry clean.
One of my absolute favourite brands for dopamine-inducing homeware, statement accessories (my triangle scarf is worn in some capacity, whether around my neck or as a bandana, daily) and pyjamas. But this new set comes adorned with oversized frills, both around the collar and at the hem of those cropped trousers, which worked to keep me cool all night, too. Plus, the wide straps stopped my boobs from making a midnight escape, too. True to size, and super comfy thanks to the elasticated waist, I already know my sister is going to be begging to borrow this on our annual European vacay.
Pros & ConsPros- Four vibrant prints with various top and trouser options.
- Size inclusive.
- Delivered in a reusable cotton pouch, priming these for gifting.
Cons- Not so tall girl friendly.
Adelphi Voyage Silk-Satin Cami Set with Lace Trim
- Sizes: XS — XXL.
- Material: 100% silk.
- Care: Dry clean only.
Liberty is often labelled as one of London's most luxe department stores, so it only makes sense that its nightwear is labelled as luxury. Crafted from 100% silk, this cami and shorts set has a relaxed fit, the top finished with a V-neck that I thought was far more flattering than the usual straight-across design. Fitted with adjustable straps and the shorts have an elasticated waist, I'd say you're safe to stick with your/their usual size. Of course, there's no denying they're an investment — however, with their buttery soft composition and iconic Liberty design, they're the ultimate luxury gift that is sure to be well received, say, on their 40th birthday or the eve of their wedding.

Pros & ConsPros- Customisable fit: adjustable straps and a half-elasticated waist on the shorts.
- Pretty lace detailing at the neckline and hemline.
- Pockets!
Cons- An investment.
- Sizes: XXS (UK 6) — XL (20-24).
- Material: 100% mulberry silk.
- Care: Machine wash cold and with a gentle spin.
You might think the nightdress has had its heyday — I did too. But I'm campaigning for its return, because I can confirm that no pair of luxury pyjamas was comfier than this silk slip. Being crafted from 100% mulberry silk, it kept me cool even when snuggled under our winter duvet, but was also incredibly flattering, hugging my body exactly when I wanted. I love the addition of the petite bows and the crossover straps, which also stopped them from slipping off my shoulders. A great option for a super feminine bride — or those craving an intense dose of luxury on a Saturday AM.
Pros & ConsPros- Flattering scoop neckline and a midi-length silhouette that gently drapes over the body.
- Size inclusive.
- Naturally thermoregulating.
Cons- Those with a large bust, size up.

What makes pyjamas ‘luxury’?
Some might say this is down to personal tastes; however, there are a few key things I'd recommend checking for before heading to the checkout. Brands producing luxury pyjamas will often prioritise the use of quality materials — organic cotton, silk, temperature-regulating modal. But you should also notice that there's a close attention to detail, with fine stitching, good-fitting cuts, and durable finishes.
What fabrics are best for luxury sleepwear?
This is really a question of personal preference — do you prefer soft satin, or the thermoregulating powers of modal? However, each material has it's assoiated perks:
- Silk – Undeniably smooth, temperature-regulating, and feels incredibly indulgent.
- Egyptian or Supima cotton – Soft, breathable, and long-lasting, washing well and creasing the least.
- Bamboo viscose – Lightweight, eco-friendly, and moisture-wicking.
- Modal – Silky feel with intense stretch and good durability.
How I choose the best luxury pyjamas:
Luxury pyjamas are an investment, and I certainly wouldn't want to recommend a pair that doesn't score highly for quality, design and comfort. Therefore, I've personally spent the last three months reviewing as many pairs of pjs as possible — from full-length trouser sets to silk cami and shorts combos.
For context, each pair (or the same but in a different colourway) was worn for a minimum of two sleeps and then scored against the following criteria:
| Functionality | Were the pyjamas comfortable to sleep in and thermoregulating? Where they suitable for both lounging and sleeping? Are they size inclusive? |
| Design | Are the pyjamas aesthetic and comfortable? How many options do I have in terms of colour and pattern? And what was each pair of pyjamas made of — is the material sustainable and breathable? |
| Price point | Are the pyjamas good quality? Is the price for one item, or an entire set? Would I be willing to spend that much again? |
| Delivery | How quickly did the pyjamas arrive, and what were the associated costs? How easy is the returns or exchange process? |
Unsurprisingly, only the luxury pyjamas that impressed made it into this edit. However, I also tried the following, which sadly didn't meet my standards:
- Intimissimi's Men’s Style Silk Jacket, £99 — Firstly, the top and bottoms are sold separately, which ensures they fit as desired, but it also drives up the price. Plus, I found that the top came up small (I had to size up twice to get the relaxed fit I desired) and was really see-through.
In terms of what I'm currently testing, stay tuned for these reviews:
- Chelsea Peers' Satin Scallop Edge Long Pyjama Set, £59
- Polo Ralph Lauren's Long-Sleeve Poplin Pyjama Set, £200
Why you can trust me:
On a personal level, I like to think of myself as a pyjamas connoisseur, considering I currently have more than 17 pairs in my rotation. I don't do traditional loungewear, but rather change straight into a matching set the second I walk in the front door — and then potentially another pair for bed, depending on whether I've split my dinner down the front. And while it might be hard to believe, this is an edit I've curated over time, culling the pairs that don't meet my standards in terms of comfort and fit.
However, I've also been a shopping writer for almost three years, where I specialise in wellness buys and high-street fashion. An average week consists of testing everything from period pants to sticky bras and silk pyjamas, before writing up my honest reviews to share with Glamour readers. But to ensure I'm an expert in the above areas, I also regularly attend press days and quiz shopping experts for their recommendations.
