I’ve never shied away from a solid set of pajamas, and it’s now as much of a staple as anything else in my wardrobe. I’m not ashamed of it either. I used to sleep in my boxers, but I didn’t realize how much I was missing out.
These days, I wear the full getup—pajamas, robe, slippers, and all. All I’m missing is one of those funny hats and a candlestick. I like to call it “unc-maxxing,” but really, it’s just getting as comfortable as humanly possible.
I’m the type to put my pajamas on the second I get home from work. I’m not exaggerating; it’s the first thing I do. At this point, it’s a uniform of sorts.
I equate it to a literal transition into “chill mode.” Now that we’re fully entrenched in fall weather, it’s even more relevant. Especially when you factor in the bathrobe and slippers: the colder it gets, the more layers I’ll rock, even at home. Yes, I am aware I’m fully a grandpa.
As an unabashed, expert-level pajama wearer, I’ll walk you through some of my favorite comfort-maxxing “stacks.” There’s one for every occasion, and hopefully you’ll be just as shameless as I am in following in my footsteps. Surprisingly, there’s a lot to consider when finding the perfect pajama set. Like any outfit, each serves a dedicated purpose.
I’ve gone through more pairs than I can count, from inexpensive sets at Costco and Target to higher-quality ones from Nordstrom. The ones I listed, though, are my absolute favorites after dozens of sets and hours of wear testing (I was technically sleeping through a lot of it, but the point still stands). During the summer, I’ll wear the short-sleeve Bamboo Stretch Knit Short Set from Cozy Earth.
