There is nothing more chic than a nice set of pajamas. It really says “I’ve got my life together.” Plus: Pajamas make great holiday gifts. They are something you might not splurge on for yourself, but being gifted a pair is a different story. Depending on your sleeping habits, that could mean a silky-smooth chemise, oversize sleep shorts, a breathable linen set, or even pajamas that are cute enough to be worn out and about.
Whatever your preference when it comes to sleepwear, know that you absolutely do not have to sacrifice style for comfort or functionality. In fact, we found plenty of options that check all three boxes.
Read on for Cut Shop’s list of the 26 best women’s pajamas of 2023 from brands like Skims, Lunya, and Hill House Home.
