STYLING

WE’RE STAYING IN OUR PYJAMAS THIS SUMMER

By Flo Bellinger, 4 August 2025

Co-ords do a lot of heavy lifting in our wardrobes. You need only throw on a few accessories and your outfit’s sorted. But this summer there’s been a notable shift in the two-piece sets we’re reaching for. We’re still seeing plenty of linen looks, of course. And broderie is having a bit of a moment – making for some enviable Euro summer photo dumps. But there’s one clothing duo in particular that’s staking it’s claim on the year’s look du jour: pyjamas. We’re not talking an old football shirt and some boxer shorts (though we’ve all popped out to buy milk in that particular get-up). No, these pyjamas are elevated, luxurious, and look just as chic with a heel as they do with a duvet. If hitting the town in your comfiest co-ord sounds appealing, keep scrolling for all the sets worthy of the bedroom and the bar.

GREEN STRIPES

This first set is cotton-co-ord perfection. The olive-green stripes are ideal for end-of-summer dressing – and if you’re hot on cost per wear, rest assured both pieces are easy to style separately. We can see these wide-leg trousers with a white tank or tee on cooler days, and the cami top would look great with jeans.

SATIN

Now for something a little more…romantic. Nothing screams ‘I’ve got my ducks in a row’ like a silky pyjama set. And this one is elevated enough to wear to dinner. The heavyweight satin with lace detailing lends itself to fine jewellery and a kitten heel. Whether you’re beachside or exploring the city, this is one way to live out your Holly Golightly fantasies.

BOXY COTTON

Another slightly more casual two-piece, this co-ord is great for warm late-summer excursions. With all the mix-and-match potential you’d expect from a good set, the structured cut of these cotton pyjamas ensures they still feel put together when styled as a daytime look. Try pairing with a classic shoe like Birkenstock Bostons, a trusty woven tote, and some sleek shades. Pyjamas? We’re none the wiser.

BUTTER YELLOW

Butter yellow is the gift that keeps on giving, so why not indulge in the sunny trend a little longer? The soft tones are balanced by the delicate silhouette of this co-ord, with fine straps and intricate lace that’s both comfortable and luxurious. We also love the shorts when peeking out from under a boxy white tee or button-down shirt. Just throw on some mesh ballet flats and you’re serving a look that’s bang on trend.

FEMININE EMBROIDERY

Finally, we couldn’t talk pyjamas without at least one broderie feature. This is giving cottage-core meets off-duty Marie Antoinette – just imagine rolling elegantly out of your satin bedsheets, sipping a fresh coffee whilst reading a novel, before slinking out the door to potter around in your vegetable garden. It might sound far-fetched, but in a set this feminine and romantic, you’re halfway there.
