Families sporting matching holiday pajamas is a Christmas card staple. Much to our chagrin. It's not only the fact that mom, dad and all the kiddos are wearing different sizes of the exact same pajamas. It's also the fact that they are all usually supremely tacky. But, believe it or not, there are chic festive pajamas out there.
Obviously, no Santas, reindeer or snowmen allowed. Also onesies need not apply. So what does that leave us with? A lot. Favor more seasonally-appropriate colors. Think red, green, gold, blue and even brown. Patterns are also OK, just not plaid. It's way too on the nose.
On the fabric front, silk, satin and velvet should be your go-tos if you're felling fancy. Cotton works if you prefer your overnight wear more laid-back. Most options include a long-sleeve top and a matching pair of pants. There are exceptions, however. Maison Essentiele's cami is perfect for anyone celebrating in warmer climates.
Details definitely make a huge difference. For example, piping, embroidery and lace. Because we like our pajamas like we like our daytime outfits, stylish without an ounce of try-hard. Actually, you can get away with flaunting some of these sets in daylight. That's because wearing pajamas outside of the bedroom is still a thing. Simply incorporate a necklace, maybe some earrings and some boots or street-safe slippers and you're all set. You'll get more mileage out of these picks that way. Fair warning: A couple will require layering something underneath up top.
Here are the most sartorially-mined holiday pajamas this season has to offer. It's National Pajama Day after all. Buy a pair for yourself to wear on Christmas morning. Then buy another pair to give as a gift to your super stylish BFF. You can also buy them the same set you buy for yourself. But please, don't take a picture of both of you wearing them at the same time.
