After a long day, there are few better feelings than taking off your work or play clothes and slipping into a snuggly pajama set. We're kind of experts on the best pajamas. It's one of those "ah, yes" moments, similar to how it feels when you take your hair down from a tight ponytail or finally get to unsnap an underwire bra. Just because PJs are all about comfort doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your sartorial game. In fact, there are endless pajama sets on the market that are just as cute as they are cozy. Some happen to be chic-as-all-get-out too. We try to find out more about wearing silk to sleep and compiled silk pajama options.

Why wear silk to sleep

Silk’s breathability makes it a favored material for face masks and pillowcases. That breathability is due to the fineness of the fiber in the fabric, which ultimately helps it feel so supple on the body — even more so than other natural textiles like cotton, linen or wool, explained Ashlee Rzyczycki, a visiting assistant professor at St. Thomas University in Florida who specializes in sustainability in fashion.

It’s also hypoallergenic, helping your skin breathe, Rzyczycki told us. If what you’ve been wearing to bed is itchy or irritating, silk could be an upgrade. “Silk feels very smooth against the skin, reducing snags and scratchiness that may come from other materials,” Foley added. “People who struggle with skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis may find silk especially great for sleeping as it won’t irritate their skin as much as other pajama materials like cotton and wool.”
