These are the kinds of pyjamas you’ll actually want to show off
While there’s something extremely comforting about cuddling up in bed wearing one of your oldest and baggiest tee shirts, the importance of good quality, luxury sleepwear is not to be underestimated. In fact, countless studies have shown that sleeping in silk gives you a better night’s sleep due to its temperature regulating properties, and slipping into something a little more glamorous can make the end of a long day feel that much better.
Araks
Araks might be best known for its swimwear, but the New York-based brand also has a line of luxury sleepwear and understated intimates. All pieces are designed using the finest Italian fabrics and the collection spans playful, patterned sets, silk separates with mother of pearl buttons, and a whole range of elegant slips. If you feel like adding something a little more personal to your look, Araks also offers a monogramming service.
Asceno
Inspired by travel and people who do a lot of it, Asceno is best known for its bold stripes, vibrant prints, and unexpected use of colour. Perfectly proportioned for luxuriated globetrotting, their silk sets blur the line between loungewear and ready-to-wear, and have been seen on everyone from Kate Hudson to Rita Ora.
Sleeper
Two former editors, Kate Zubarieva and Asya Varetsa, launched Sleeper in 2014 with the idea of making sleepwear that is so chic you can wear it both in and out of the house. Highlights include their from-bed-to-brunch slip dresses and their dreamy linen loungewear dresses.
Olivia von Halle
Inspired by the lounging pyjamas worn by Coco Chanel and her contemporaries in the 20s, Olivia von Halle got her start in the fashion industry as a trend forecaster and brand consultant. Noting a lack of sophisticated, glamorous sleepwear in the market, she decided to make her own. After launching with just one classic yet meticulously considered style, the ‘Lila’ pyjama, the brand grew to include an extensive offering of pyjamas, robes, kimonos, nightshirts and eye masks.
