We spend almost a third of our lives in bed, so why shouldn’t our sleepwear receive the same consideration as our daytime wardrobes? Crafted from the utmost indulgent materials available, and hand-finished with elegant motif detailing, the right set can elevate your entire sleep experience.
When finding the right pajamas, there’s much to consider. Are you a hot sleeper? Opt for a short style or nightdress. Cotton and modal are breathable for year-round comfort, or silk, linen, and bamboo provide cooling, moisture-wicking properties, perfect for summertime. Find yourself shivering come nightfall? Look to flannel, fleece, or cashmere to keep you cozy.
And, while the print of the pajamas may not directly impact hours slept, some of us can’t relax unless we look our best – in a feather-trimmed, designer-branded matching set. Here’s the best women’s luxury pajamas we’re shopping right now.

Women’s luxury pajamas we love
-
Asceno
Founded in 2016 by Poppy Sexton-Wainwright, Asceno styles lounge and sleepwear in cotton, silk, and linen. We love the London shirt and Rosa trousers in blue and white stripe, crafted in a cotton-silk blend.
The pattern and cut lend a relaxed, unisex feel that’s effortlessly chic. For personalization, the brand has a partnership with London embroiderers who can add traditional hand finishes to any of Asceno’s pajamas, shirts, or eye masks, at a week's turnaround.
Asceno also encourages wearers to put the shirt’s versatility to the test during daytime, – pair it with linen or denim for a laid-back city look.

Toteme
Another classic pair of PJs comes from Stockholm-based label Toteme. The brand makes pyjamas as they should be – with a lapel collar, front patch pocket, and contrast piping – in 100 percent silk.
The relaxed fit of the set will keep you warm in the winter, and remain sweat-wicking in the summer, making it a great all-season set. And, in a classic cut and design, you know it will never go out of style.

Arch4
For cozy, soft pajamas, cashmere is the answer. When buying a set made from the material, you’ll want it sourced from the soft undercoat of baby goats. Luckily, this is Arch4’s specialty. Proudly terming their ultra-soft material ‘The Soft Gold,’ the brand ensures these rare, resilient fibers can be traced back to the individual Mongolian herder who produced them.
In fact, every stage of production is ethical – from the sourcing, dyeing, spinning, kitting, linking, and finishing – so you can rest well knowing exactly where your nightwear comes from.
