There’s a reason why pajamas often fall in the same category as ties or socks during the holidays: Opening them up can be a little underwhelming. But that’s only true when the pajamas are, well, underwhelming. This season, it’s easier than ever to give a sleepwear gift that’ll surprise, delight, and actually get put to good use.
The best pajamas to gift aren’t just warm, cozy, and breathable — they’re also stylish enough that if your recipient is caught wearing them on a Zoom call, it won’t set off a call to HR. Whether you’re looking to track down the coziest hoodie for your sister to wear under her favorite longline coat or a stylish silk set that your mom can wear out of the house, too, shop the coziest sleepwear separates below.
Sherpa Hoodie
Can you imagine walking your dog in anything less comfortable than this fluffy, slightly cropped sherpa hoodie?
Ribbed Set
If matching sleep sets are your family’s thing, know that this soft lounge set from SKIMS is available in sizes XXS-4X.
Cotton Boxer Shorts
Boxer shorts have enjoyed a recent upgrade to “outside clothes” lately, and this pair is teeming for a daytime debut.
Plaid Flannel Pants
A flannel pajama pant is a quintessential wintertime gift, but this pair — made from soft flannel with a comfy elasticized waist — has something most women’s PJs don’t: Pockets.
Nightgown
This tunic dress may be categorized as sleepwear, but it’s also refined enough to pass off as a proper dress come springtime, too.
Ribbed Henley
A ribbed henley is essential for cold-weather layering, and this style, which comes in a gamut of on-trend colors (see: tomato red), is cozy enough to fall asleep in, too.
Ruffled Linen Set
Need something for the quirky resident artist in your life? This frilly set could be just the thing.
Cotton Bralette
The hesitation to sleep in a bra is understandable, but this soft, breathable bralette is so comfortable, it’ll feel like an extension of yourself — or anyone you gift it to.
Silk Set
The best thing about this checkered set is that each piece doubles as actual clothing. When you’re not snoozing in them, wear the pants as trousers with pointy-toe pumps, or tuck the top into jeans.
Lace-Trimmed Tank
Give the gift of a low cost-per-wear in the form of this slim-fit lace-trimmed tank, which is chic enough to let show from underneath an oversized wide-neck sweater.
Cashmere Set
A very luxe cashmere set makes for a great gift — especially for the person that has everything.
Cotton Sweatshirt
Is there anything more versatile than something you can comfortably sleep in, then wear for both your coffee run and first Zoom of the day?
Silk Slip Dress
Sure, this bubblegum pink dress is technically a chemise, but who says you can’t wear it out of the house, too?
