Ladies, pajamas are back and in huge numbers. They have made a huge comeback and more importantly become wildly popular among the plus size community.
There is a lot going on in the fashion industry, but seldom does anything give you as much comfort as snuggling up in your bed wearing your favorite sleepwear and having some ice cream or watching Netflix or catching up on some gossip with your friend.
What we are trying to say is that sleepwear and more importantly, pajamas are a very underrated part of a person’s clothes collection.
According to statistics, you’re going to spend roughly one-third of your life time asleep, so you might as well be doing it in good sleepwear. The first rule of pajamas is “Know thyself.” Do you sweat at night? Then you’ll need something breathable like cotton.
Do you hate the feeling of pants in bed? Try a sleep shirt or shorts. Will anything but the smoothest fabrics keep you awake? You’ll want the cool, slinky touch of silk or satin. Whatever your preference, we’ve rounded up the best women’s pajama sets below. Scroll on to shop our favorites.
Tips for choosing the right sleepwear according to seasons
When it comes to choosing plus size sleepwear, everyone wants to be comfortable and stylish. There are many options to choose from depending on the season, with silhouettes, colors and fabrics to suit everyone. So, here are some recommendations from our side.
For the upcoming winters
For those who prefer to be cozy and warm at nights, try a long pajama set or a onesie. Onesies have been on trend for a while now and they don’t appear to be going anywhere.
Like the Crocs shoe endemic, the onesie is another example of fashion taking something quintessentially non fashionable, and making it top of the trends. It’s not without reason.
A onesie is probably one of the most comfortable items of clothing you’ll own. Super soft, easy to put on and available in multiple prints and colors. If you can’t bring yourself to wear a onesie just yet, there are plenty of other traditional pajama styles to choose from.
A simple long pant with matching long sleeve top in cashmere or cotton is a classic and elegant look. Meanwhile, the more unconventional might prefer the on trend granddad chic style of a lapelled shirt and cropped pants. If you purchase a couple of sets, you can wear with it’s pair or mix and match.
Summer and spring are tailor-made for sleepwear
For Spring and Summer (or those that like to stay cool in general), a shorts and shirt set is a great option. Choose a girlish t-shirt with a print or slogan of the moment for a youthful and dynamic look.
If you prefer a more grown-up and feminine look, choose a more sensual style with a deep V neck and spaghetti straps. Whichever style you prefer, don’t forget to work the style for your body.
If you’re top-heavy, keep your top a solid color and relatively plain, and go all out with patterned shorts to balance the look.
In contrast, if you’re heavier on the bottom, choose a wide leg short in block color and choose a detailed and colorful top. Don’t forget about your fabric choices too . Natural materials like cotton and silk are more breathable than synthetics and also feel nicer against your skin.
Oversized t-shirts are probably the most comfortable sleepwear out there
Sometimes, pants or shorts can feel a little restrictive at night. In this case, an oversized t-shirt or nightdress is the best option for you. It can be as long or as short as you’re comfortable with.
Just be sure the neckline isn’t too high, as it can become uncomfortable during the night as the shirt hitches up. Just note that the oversized t-shirt look doesn’t work for everyone.
It often disguises curves in the wrong way, making you look bigger than you are. As plus size ladies, we are sure you will have qualms about oversized t-shirts and their viability on your body. We are here to tell you that it is a wonderful sleepwear option for you to have.
Attractiveness is also equally important
For those nights when comfort alone just won’t cut it, and you want to feel a little sexier and more feminine, try giving a supportive babydoll a try. Pick one with an under bust band for a little lift in the bust, without the discomfort of built in cups or boning.
A short babydoll with soft gathers at the front will disguise any tummy bumps, and a longer length will look as elegant as an evening gown for the bedroom. Once again, fabric choice is important here to create the appropriate style.
Babydolls in cotton or bamboo will provide a relaxed and casual look. Meanwhile, the inclusion of more feminine and sultry fabrics such as lace and silk will look sexier and more seductive.
Nightgowns are a hit with every woman
Available in a massive selection of styles and colors, these long nightgowns or night shirts are perfect not only for sleeping, but lounging around in, too. The material is usually soft and thick. Plus size ladies had been very skeptical because these styles usually have such thin fabric.
However, these are supremely comfortable. And, to add to that, some of the nightgowns of today have pockets too! You can finally ditch the robe and just wear your comfy nightshirt and nightgowns. We would definitely recommend this to every single lady out there!
Versatile pajama sets are brilliant for weekends
A three piece versatile pajama set is hands-down the most versatile on our list. With a V-neck tank pajama top, a pocketed pair of pants, and a matching jersey cotton-blend open-front cardigan that can be removed with ease, you’ll stay warm or cool no matter the weather.
The elastic waistband on the bottoms allows you to be totally comfy whether sleeping or lounging and there are three other shades to choose from.
Pajama rompers are the comfort you are missing in life
Yes, you heard that right. If you haven’t yet discovered the bliss that is the pajama romper, you’re definitely missing out. Though rompers tend to get a bad rap because they can be difficult to get on and off, these beautiful pieces of swimwear are usually made from a super-stretchy fabric that makes removing it hassle-free.
It also boasts adjustable straps and beautiful lace-front detailing that makes it look far pricer than what they actually are. A wonderful and really comfortable piece of swimwear that will help you get super comfortable while sleeping and chilling on weekend nights!
Satin pajamas, striped or otherwise are a great choice
No matter how fast and frequently fashion trends come and go, some things, like these striped satin pajamas by Apt. 9 at Kohl’s, never go out of style. This popular button-down aesthetic will forever be a top sleepwear options because of its ability to effortlessly combine comfort and class.
If you ask us, every nightwear drawer should have a good pair of tailored satin notched-collar pajamas in it, in order to make you feel good.
In case you had a bad day at work, you can easily let go of the bad thoughts or let go of your stress by pulling on a piece of satin pajamas. Available at a lot of stores, as a part of a lot of brands, you can choose from a range of colors that you want. You have to have satin pajamas in your wardrobe.
When it comes to finding the right sleepwear, taking everything into account is crucial. But not everyone has the same tastes when it comes to nightwear.
Some prefer to wear as little fabric as possible as they doze, while others like to be completely cocooned and cozily enveloped in their favorite hibernation gear.
Pair that with a need to find sizes beyond small, medium, and large on the women’s clothing size chart, and you’ve got yourself a real conundrum. You have to remember what are your basic requirements when it comes to sleepwear, choosing the colors that suit your skin tone and the ones that you love.
In a wide wide range of sleepwear available everywhere, there are so many choices available that you ought to be confused. For the first time, this confusion makes sense.
We suggest you take a long route to finding the sleepwear because it directly relates to your sleep. If you sleep right, you wake up right and are full of energy to perform all your functions with all your ability.
