Maybe it's because I just watched The Holiday, but I've been itching to buy a set of matching pajamas [1]. Like most people, I've spent the bulk of the past two years at home, trading in my cute outfits for sweats [2], leggings [3], and robes. (And, I'll be the first one to admit that getting dressed up on a regular basis has officially become a foreign concept.) Matching pajamas seems like the best of both worlds: I can stay comfy as I WFH and feel somewhat chic. (You know, like I'm the leading lady in a Nancy Meyers movie.)
That said, pajamas are ultimately meant to be slept in — and I felt a little silly about spending top dollar on something I can't wear in public. So, I turned to Amazon [4] and picked up this Global Pajamas Set [5] ($29). Needless to say, I'm very obsessed.
The first thing I noticed about this pair was the fabric. You see, my mom worked in the fashion industry and has waxed poetic about wearing natural fibres for decades. Since cotton is low-maintenance, natural, and oh-so comfortable, I had a feeling it'd be the perfect pajama material.
Turns out, I was right about the cotton call. (Thanks, Mom!) These pajamas are thick enough to keep me feeling super cosy — all without waking up in a pool of sweat. (IYKYK.) And, if long sleeves aren't your thing, this set is available in a shorter silhouette.
Of course, I cannot state the obvious enough: these pajamas are chic. I mean, simply slipping these on makes something as mundane as making a pot of coffee feel like I'm the adult version of Annie from the The Parent Trap [6]. (Oh, and did I mention they have pockets?! Like, big pockets you can put your phone in?!) Though I initially bought the blue and white stripes, this set comes in a bunch of cute patterns and colours. (Confession: I love these pajamas so much that as soon as I put them on, I bought two more sets!)
Turns out, I'm not the only ones who think these are chic. When I posted this set on my Instagram stories, my DM's were flooded with a bunch of compliments and heart-eyed emojis — and not one person knew I bought these on Amazon for under $30. Nancy, are you there? I'm ready for my closeup.
