Lake Pajamas

The DreamModal collection from Lake Pajamas feels like butter on your skin. Even after repeated washing, the relaxed crew-neck top and drawstring pants still look polished, with a little touch of sparkle thanks to the contrast ribbon at the waist. Made from 95% modal, this set is soft and stretchy, but if modal isn’t for you, Lake Pajamas’ signature Pima cotton pajamas collection is just as comfortable. The company also sells flowy nightgowns in both collections if you’re looking for the least restrictive fit.

If you’ve ever wanted your sleepwear to have the soul of a Nancy Meyers movie, Pima sets will make you look like a coastal grandmother on an artist’s retreat. Think: nautical stripes and botanical prints. The three-quarter sleeve, round neck top and pants set is made from 100% Peruvian Pima cotton, which is soft, airy and cool against the skin. It is ideal for hot sleepers or those prone to night sweats. Lake’s fabric shrinks a bit after the first wash (mainly in length), so if you’re between sizes, follow the brand’s advice and size up. I went for a larger model and found myself wishing I was bigger for a looser fit. Pajama pants come in three lengths: short (26″), regular (29″) and tall (32″).

They’re not cheap, but they’re the kind of classic pajamas you’ll wear all year round.

Blayne barren

If you suffer from night sweats, you know how difficult it is to find truly cooling sleepwear. Arid Blayne succeeds. Its fabric wicks away moisture and helps lower skin temperature all night long. Even in December in Thailand, I woke up dry every morning. Beyond the cooling technology, thoughtful details include elastic ankle loops that keep the pants in place while you toss and turn in bed, double-layered tops for discreet nip coverage, and hidden drawstrings. Pieces are sold separately, so you can mix and match crewneck tanks, cropped tees, henley nightgowns, pajama shorts, and pants.
