Is there anything more heavenly than a cup of coffee on a warm, sunny morning after a long, cold winter?
Almost– being restful and happy after a great night’s sleep is a good start!
If you’re looking for something lightweight and airy, luxurious and comfortable, read on for the best classy summer pajamas for sophisticated women.
My top picks include a variety of different styles and fabrics, so you can find the perfect pair for your needs.
The Importance of Comfy PJs for a Good Night’s Sleep
Comfort is key when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep and reducing the amount of tossing and turning leads to more restful sleep.
Summer pajamas like cotton keep wearers cool by wicking away sweat and moisture and can help promote uninterrupted slumber during warm evenings, whereas those made of flannel or sweatshirt fabric can be cozy on cold winter nights.
And wearing something that makes you feel relaxed before bed also helps you ease into a peaceful sleep.
Nighttime Habits
Pajamas that are cool, stylish, and sophisticated, when coupled with cozy, special nighttime habits, also work together to send you- stress-free- into dreamland.
These habits can include:
- A nighttime skincare routine. A nighttime ritual of washing your face and applying the right products can make a difference in how you look and feel when you go to bed, and wake up.
- A nighttime oral care routine. Brushing is a given, but maybe at night, you want to use a water pic flosser instead and save the standard floss for your morning oral care routine.
- A no-screens rule. We all know screens are not our friends when it comes to sleep. Limiting the use of phones, tablets, and TVs before bed can help you get a better night’s rest.
- Aromatherapy rituals. Fragrant night candles, essential oils, and soothing linen sprays can help you relax before bed.
- Read. This is oh-so-cozy and makes you feel so good! Pick up a good book, even if it’s just for a few minutes before you turn in.
When you combine all these little consistent habits and rituals, finish them up each night, and crawl into bed with comfy, beautiful pajamas- you will feel like a queen- deservedly so!
The Best Materials for Keeping Cool and Cozy
A lightweight cotton is a great option for summer nights when you want something cool yet cozy.
It absorbs sweat quickly and offers great air circulation for keeping your body temperature regulated throughout the night.
Bamboo nightwear, another great option for summer nights, is soft against the skin and ultra-breathable.
Bamboo nightgowns are naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial with moisture-wicking capabilities to keep you cool in hot weather.
Satin Versus Silk
Satin is a man-made weave, while silk is a natural fiber. However, satin is best for summer sleepwear as it’s lightweight, breathable, and offers a cool, smooth feel against the skin.
Silk nightgowns are suitable for cooler summer evenings and winter nights as the fibers of the silk absorb your body heat and stay warm.
Silk can also be much more expensive than satin nightwear, and since satin nightgowns offer the same elegant look while keeping you cool at night and are inexpensive, they are the better overall option.
But I’ll provide a silk option, just in case!
When it Comes to Being Classy- Less is More
Contrary to popular belief, women don’t need to show a lot of skin to be sexy, and pajamas are the perfect way to look attractive.
Modest pjs can still be cute, flirty, and tasteful while leaving room for the imagination.
And making a fashion statement without having to worry about wearing pjs around children, family members, or friends, gives a low-key and confident vibe.
Modest pajamas offer an understated sense of sexiness that will have you looking forward to bedtime.
