This One Wardrobe Upgrade Makes Me Feel Like I Have My Life Together

For years, you’d find me heading to bed in an oversized t-shirt I probably got for free somewhere years ago and a pair of boxer shorts that probably needed an elastic waistband replacement. As I started traveling more and more (for my job and pleasure), I found myself in beautiful, fluffy hotel beds that seemed like they warranted sleeping in something more elevated than my usual bedtime uniform. So I bought myself a pair of chic pajamas—a matching set! They were still shorts, but this time with a drawstring waist and contrast piping. The top was a button-down, short-sleeved shirt with a collar. Both pieces were super silky and soft, and didn’t have me missing my worn-in t-shirt (well, not that much, at least).
While I still go for a t-shirt and shorts combo every now and then (the lounge life!), my pajama game has exponentially increased. Not only do I make sure to pack a cute one for travel (obviously), but they’ve also become my go-tos while at home. While nice pajama sets can be pricey, they’re worth a splurge once in a while—and they make great gifts, by the way. When I’m wearing my pajama sets, I feel like a fancy lady who orders iced tea with lemon at her leisurely lunches and regularly wears a sleep mask to bed—basically, they make me feel like I have my life together. Here are some of my top faves and brands that’ll have you switching teams to Team Pajamas in no time.
