While there are some perks of buzzy office life - namely tea breaks with our work wives and husbands - we can’t help but miss the comfort of work-from-home outfits.
We will truly never tire of waking up each weekday morning only to change into equally loose, comfortable clothing. Underwire, tailored suits and stiff 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 actual slumber, others have the elegance and sophistication to translate effortlessly into daywear. You know the type. The silky camis you're proud to pop to the shops in, or two-piece sets you don't have to change out of to take out the bins, but are still smart and more importantly, comfortable, enough to lounge in all day long.
Weekends spent out and about dressed up to the nines have been replaced with lazy Sunday morning attire worn from day to dawn: all day, every day. With this in mind, it’s worth investing in a high-quality pyjama set 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 brands offering polished sets across all budgets and in a range of fabrics, from comfortable cotton to sumptuously soft silk.
Prepare to add all to basket.

Eberjey
Eberjey is a label synonymous with indulgent comfort. The brand crafts its pyjamas from a lightweight and insanely soft stretch-jersey fabric that offers comfort in spade, further enhanced with relaxed silhouettes. Design elements are minimal, but subtle details like the contrast piping and turn-up cuffs keep this set stylish and timeless. Available in a range of colours if you fancy something more lively than grey.
From £50.
The White Company
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 fit 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 seasons 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.
From £20.
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 come 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.
From £25.
Sleeper
For hot sleepers, you may want to steer clear of long trousers, which is where this set from fashion-editor favourite label Sleeper will have you covered. Offered in mood-enhancing hues, these PJs are almost too stylish to reserve for sleeping - we even spotted one Zoom wedding guest fashioning the two-piece as documented on Instagram. This is the warm weather update your nightwear collection has been missing.
The brand also offers a range of boudoir-to-ball feather trim sets that we’ve been lusting over.
From £77.

These are fancy styles for the fashion-conscious.
From £135.
