It might be my job to scout out the best high-street fashion, but I'll be real — if I could wear silk pyjamas every single day, I would. They're the co-ords I reach for most, calling on them when I want a little PM luxury, or a chic date night look that's also super comfortable. And it seems, in recent years, the fashion set shares my passion for pyjamas, regularly embracing the night-to-day trend, too.
Although, as it often does, it all started on the runway. Yep, Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2026 Collection gave us a lesson in taking our pyjamas outside, layering our silk satin sets with sheer lace tops or lingerie, stacks of gold jewellery, and handbags in an array of vibrant hues.
However, with so many styles of pyjamas — satin, viscose or silk, long or short sleeve, and finished with lace, contrast piping or feather trims — it's hard to know which style to invest in. Thankfully, as a (self-proclaimed) pyjama expert, I've rounded up the very best silk and satin pyjama sets to shop this season.
But what should you consider when browsing for the best women's pyjamas? While design is important, I often say it's secondary to material (opt for silk or viscose over satin if you run hot) and fit (we love a size-inclusive style, made to fit a UK 6 to 32). However, if I'm leaving behind my old favourites, I want my latest pair to look like luxury pyjamas — even if they come in at under £50.
And with the return of the satin trouser trend, girl math says that really, you're getting multiple outfits for the price of one. So, read on for the very best new-in silk sleepwear from the likes of Eberjey, LilySilk and The White Company, which would also make suitable Mother's Day gifts too.
How we tested the best silk pyjamas:
Silk pyjamas are pricey, there's no denying that, so three Glamour editors – Sophie Cockett, Robyn Eugene and Sophie Donovan – have put a few different sets to the test to save you the job. Delivering their full reviews below, they took everything from the fit and wearability to the price and style of each pair into consideration, leaving no stone unturned. Sorry, there are no nightgowns or nightdresses in this story, only silk pyjamas, but we have thought of every silk pyjama style people may want.
Whether it's full-length trousers with a cami top or shirt, or a silk pyjama short set, there's a style to suit everyone. And we just know you'll want to add them to your wish lists as soon as you see them. FYI: This edit includes satin pyjamas as well as pure silk silhouettes, as we believe you don't have to drop a small fortune on mulberry silk or pure silk styles to get the desired effect. Also, the satin styles are more likely to be washable silk, instead of dry clean, so we've really thought of everyone's needs.
Ahead, our edit of the best silk pyjamas for women in 2026:
Want a sexy set but with a little more coverage — something that will cover the parts you're less confident about in soft, liquid-like satin? This Boux Avenue co-ord is fairly size inclusive, and great value for money, coming in at under £50. In terms of fit, I'd say it's fairly true to size — though for a more relaxed fit, size up by one. Overall, it's a great option for those wanting to add a touch of luxury to their PM routine.
- Size range: UK 6 — 18.
- Material: 97% polyester, 3% elastane.
- Care: Machine wash.
- Best for: Something sexy.

Inez Washable Silk Printed Long PJ Set
Tested by: Sophie Cockett, Senior Commerce Editor Europe.
If your preference is silk over satin — FYI, the former is often praised for its natural, hypoallergenic, and highly breathable properties — seriously consider this Eberjay set. Crafted from 100% (machine-washable) mulberry silk, we can confirm this set is thermoregulating, offering comfort year-round. Available in 14 chic hues, they're a luxury option — that could also be worn to dinner on your summer vacay with metal-topped flip flops and a coordinating clutch.
“I'm a firm believer that Eberjey pyjamas are up there with the very best," says Sophie. "Expensive, yes, but a guaranteed way to inject luxury into your everyday. I hadn't tried their silk pyjamas before slipping this pair on, but they didn't disappoint. Oversized in fit, sumptuously soft – and cut in the loveliest printed fabric. If you spot me wearing them out of the house, you didn't.”
- Size range: XS — XL.
- Material: 100% silk.
- Care: Machine wash.
- Best for: Pure silk pair.
Silk Embroidered Cami Pyjama Set
If there's one thing The White Company does really well, aside from ‘quiet luxury’-esque homeware, it's pyjamas. This 19-millimetre cami and trouser set, unsurprisingly, feels delicious against the skin — and by swapping the classic lace trim with scallop detailing, there's no risk of irritation overnight either. But the mother-of-pearl buttons also mean these could be worn outdoors as a summer co-ord. Simply pair with a linen blazer or sheer shirt for those cooler evenings.
- Size range: XS — XL.
- Material: Pure bluesign-approved silk.
- Care: Hand wash.
- Best for: Coordinating camisole and trouser set.
Satin The Clubhouse Print Long Pyjama Set
Tested by: Sophie Donovan, Senior Commerce Writer.
“Just because I'm wearing them to bed, that doesn't mean I don't want my pyjamas to have personality. I love the art deco-style print of this Chelsea Peers' set, as well as the baby pink and emerald colour combo. I've personally been a fan of the brand for years, loudly praising them for their true-to-size fit and preference for high-quality, high-performing materials. I'm off to Italy this summer and am already planning to wear this set to dinner one evening, and then. to bed the rest!”
- Size range: UK 6 — 28.
- Material: 97% luxury recycled satin.
- Care: Machine wash inside out.

Plus, they're available in every size from a UK 6 to 20-24. If you want to sleep like an angel, here's how.

Autograph Satin Revere Pyjama Set
I've got no shame in admitting that I'm a seriously sweaty girl, and so pay close attention to what my pyjamas are made of. This black and cream-piping set from Autograph is crafted from 100% viscose, as opposed to polyester satin, which is considered to be much more breathable, more absorbent and non-static, ultimately keeping you comfortable for longer. Design-wise, I'm a big fan of the contrast piping and mother-of-pearl buttons. If you see me wearing these to work on warmer summer days, with a chunky sandal and cat eye sunglasses, mind your business.
- Size range: UK 6 — 22.
- Material: 100% viscose.
- Care: Machine wash.
- Best for: Temperature regulation.

Generous proportions, a delicious clashing colour combo and mother-of-pearl buttons — these are for those who like their downtime with a side of decadence. The fashion set has often called on Olivia Von Halle when leaning into the pyjama dressing trend, and with the sporty edge of this pair, we see these being in high demand next.
- Size range: XS — XL.
- Material: 100% silk.
- Care: Hand wash with specialist silk detergent.
- Best for: Luxury.
If, like me, you've been manifesting a reason to add a feathered Sleeper set to your nighttime rotation, listen up: Nadine Merabi has delivered for much, much less. Consisting of a satin shirt and ankle-length trousers, both come finished with a feather trim and diamante-encrusted button-down closures. Yep, this elevated co-ord is ideal for wearing for your next date night (paired with a tonal kitten heel and this M&S slouchy faux snake-skin bag), for girls' evenings in or for throwing in your carry-on ahead of a European weekend away.

Satin And Lace Revere Collar Pyjama Set
Like most, once I've found a style I like, I'll consider investing in another colourway — because the worst thing is to be left wanting a specific pair of PJs before bed. Thankfully, this Pour Moi pair are available in four colours (black, berry/pink, true blue/mist or forest), and in every size from a UK 8 to 20. The elasticated waistband also helped keep me comfortable both while lounging and snoozing. But it's the price tag that impressed me most, considering the contrast lace inserts to the sleeve and leg openings suggest these might be more of an investment.
- Size range: UK 8 — 20.
- Care: Machine wash.
- Material: 97% polyester, 3% elastane.
- Best for: Affordable.

What are the benefits of silk sleepwear?
Experience with silk bedding and silk pillowcases has taught us that the lustrous fabric is highly breathable – particularly if you opt for its purest form – with thermal control properties that'll keep you from being chilly in the winter, and more importantly right now, overheating in the hot, humid summer nights.
Mulberry silk is the best material to reach for if you suffer from allergies and/or acne because it's naturally hypoallergenic, making it much better for easily irritated skin than other textiles. It's why so many people choose it when buying face masks (yes, some people still wear them), sleep masks and duvet covers.
Silk absorbs far less moisture than other textiles - meaning it won’t soak up all that body moisturiser you’ve just slathered yourself in, and it works like a charm in scrunchie or hair wrap form, too, if you're worried about dry hair.
It's still day to night dressing if you just wear your bed clothes outside
Are silk pyjamas worth it?
There will always be room in our wardrobes for cosy flannel and cotton pyjamas, but the versatility, comfort and unbeatable luxe feel of silk nightwear mean they deserve a spot on your sleepwear wishlist. Some silk PJs are so good, you can wear them outside the house as well as beneath your dressing gowns. Designers such as Nadine Merabi and Olivia von Halle, plus high street favourites like Chelsea Peers, are just some examples of loungewear lines that could easily pass as daywear when paired with some box-fresh white trainers or a pair of heeled mules.
However, if the high price point of pure silk has always put you off, you may want to look for a silk blend or satin instead – we've included our favourite options above. They may not offer the same thermo-regulating benefits, but they'll feel just as luxe and soft against the skin.
