Matching Pajama Sets Will Change Your Life

February 10, 2023Heather

At work recently, we were shooting pajama sets (I’m a stylist so I mean “shooting” as in “taking pictures” not “shooting” as in “putting pajama sets on top of a fence with some old tin cans and using them for target practice”) and the model said, with a bit more attitude than I cared for, “what kind of dork wears matching pajamas?”. I went to speak up but I experience a brief moment of shame and thought “wait, am I a dork? Is it possible that I’m not cool? Could I be a dweeb? A nerd? A goober? A weenie even?”. Nah, I’m cool as shit.

So I aggressively (perhaps too aggressively) proclaimed “I wear matching pajamas almost every night, AND WHAT.” Just between us squirrel friends I think the aforementioned model was a little taken aback by my passion for pajama sets, but he needed to hear it.

Matching pajama sets are cool. They’re cool as hell, and when you wear a pair you are also cool as hell. The beauty of a matching pajama set is simple, you are able to be a lazy lump while still looking put together. Like I might have been sitting on the couch rewatching Succession for 6 hours but I still look very cute and chic, and feel gloriously cozy. It’s the win/win of all win/wins.

Oh and pajama sets aren’t just cool, they are also beneficial for sleep hygiene! First of all, you should not be wearing outside clothes in bed. You’re going to bring all those nasty-ass, outside world germs INTO YOUR BED?! I’m pretty sure that’s how you get a sleep paralysis demon*. Real pajamas are designed for sleeping. As opposed to a regular ol’ t-shirt or sweats, pajamas are made to be breathable, comfortable, and temperature regulating specifically for sleep. Perhaps more importantly, when you change into pajamas it helps signal to your body that it’s time for bed. PAJAMA SETS ARE SELF CARE.

Because I feel so deeply about pajamas, I decided to share a few of my favorite pairs…and if you’re not. currently wearing real pajamas, you should buy a pair.
