The best silk pajamas—whether a luxe set or a drapey robe—never fail to feel like a little indulgence. There’s something undeniably soothing about slipping into elegant sleepwear at the end of the day. It’s a quiet moment to yourself, signaling that it’s finally time to unwind. Sure, cozy flannels and cotton coords have their charm, but nothing quite says “treat yourself” like silk PJs. What’s more, many of the best sleepwear brands are dreaming up silk sets whose style works way beyond the bedroom.

In fact, for those who relish the opportunity to blend leisurewear with streetwear, silk PJs can be easily styled into your wardrobe. Look to Comme Si or Olivia von Halle, whose silk sets effortlessly double as formal wear when styled with a kitten heel. Toteme’s long-sleeve silk shirt and pants? Pair them with the right accessories, and you’ve got a sleek outfit for a night out.

And let’s not forget that silk pajamas make the perfect gift—the holidays soon cometh! Slightly spendy but very thoughtful, they’re the kind of treat someone might not splash out on for themselves. Whether shopping for your own wardrobe or for a loved one, take a look at our edit of the best silk pajamas, below.

Shorts Sets

A lovely choice for hot sleepers, silk pajamas designed with shorts are just as luxurious as their longer counterpart (and slightly more breathable). Opt for a camisole and tap short if you prefer less coverage, or slip into a button-down shirt for a traditional PJ moment. And if you’re worried about luxury silk being difficult to clean, fear not; Lunya makes theirs to be machine-washable.

Long Sets

A nod to old world elegance, traditional silk pajamas are the ultimate investment for high-quality slumber. Look for details like contrast piping and hand-painted prints (Olivia Von Halle excels in whimsical patterns, for the maximalist-inclined) to find the pair that best speaks to your taste.

Robes

If you’re looking for a touch of luxury to layer over your pajama sets, a silk robe is just the ticket. Look for details like delicate lace trims and extra wide sashes that elevate the silhouette—cream-colored ones, like these from Lise Charmel and Intimissimi, also work well as bridal loungewear for getting ready on your big day.
