Best Sleepwear Sets for Women

A pillar in our assortment over the last few seasons at Hill’s Dry Goods, has been The Great. We love their thoughtful cotton pieces that blend romantic Victorian features with a vintage carefree spirit from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Think lacey, eyelet details with delicate straps and romantic necklines.

The pieces that exhibit those beautiful details are the Eyelet Mini Tank Dress in True White and Black. This mini is the sweetest item and perfect for those summer days when you want to look cute and feel your best but mother nature is offering up oppressive heat. The Great has nailed a breathable cotton that is flowy, elegant and perfectly breathable given its 100% cotton composition making them some of the best sleepwear sets for women.

Continuing with the cotton eyelet trend is The Eyelet Tank and Eyelet Button Sleep Top that all match back to the Eyelet Easy Sleep Pant or Eyelet Sleep Short. All of these are adorned with Victoria inspired lace trim that kiss the hems with scalloped finishings. We could chefs kiss this collection, it's so perfect. Now that we’ve mentioned it, these items can also be worn during the day, especially the Eyelet Mini, Eyelet Tank and Button Sleep Top, there’s no way we’d confine these beauties indoors and can’t wait to take on the day in them.

The Great is no stranger to working with cotton and nailing it. We love how they achieve the perfect flow, cut and weight of a cotton garment. To find out more about The Great, read our Back to Basics: Best White T-Shirts post about tees from The Great. 

Cou Cou has captured our hearts and nostalgic minds from the tiny bows at the centre of their pieces and perfectly pointelle cotton undies and undershirts that remind us of our childhoods. These are beautifully feminine designs that are grown up versions of what we wore as kids. What’s more, we admire their grown-up attitude to responsibly sourced organic materials and labour standards that make us cuckoo for Cou Cou. 

The Boxer shorts have quickly assumed a go-to spot in our wardrobe rotation. They are consciously crafted from 100% organic cotton and finished with a scalloped French lace hem. Available in the freshest white cotton and Blue Check pattern, these shorts are an easy breezy summer staple. We love the idea of pairing these boxers with a loose fit graphic tee during the day such as The Lil Goodie Ringer for a retro look or The Bateau top from Cou Cou in white pointelle for a long sleeve pajama moment.

At night, these shorts are the best pajamas for hot sleepers due to their loose fit and cotton composition. Match them back to a cami or the scoop tank for the most comfortable pajamas. 

The most standout piece from Cou Cou is the Midi Slip. The cotton is so soft and body skimming while not feeling tight in the slightest. This slip dress is ‘90s perfection and can be worn as a nightie and perfect for those who are hot sleepers or who experience night sweats. We also love how this looks worn as a dress out in the wild. If you have a night ahead of you with dinner, drinks, a concert or just want to look cute without trying too hard, this dress is an LBD winner. Featuring subtle feminine details like thin barely there straps and the Cou Cou signature tiny bows where the straps meet the neckline.

Newer to Hill’s Dry Goods is Chan Luu. Chan Luu believes when something is made by hand, it forms a deep connection with the wearer that’s impossible to replicate. The mission is to keep artisan crafts alive — every weave, wire wrap, and casting they make helps preserve this knowledge for future generations. This is evident in the garments they’ve deigned from a hemline to block print and choice of pearl shell buttons. Every detail is thoughtfully considered.

The loungewear from Chan Luu is a dreamy collection of sets and sleep shirts that come with their own matching garment bag. Just looking at these sets takes us to a zen mentality, by the side of a pool with an iced tea.

The Rose Print Set in Midnight and Teal are both 100% cotton and designed for relaxation at its finest. They feature a block print in a rose pattern with French knots at the hem and collar. We love how chic these sets are with their understated ease and elegant cuts. Wear these while you wind down at night or as a separate. We can see these pants worn with a simple tank like the Isabel Tank from Citizens of Humanity in Pashmina and strappy brown sandals. Wear this to the beach in Bali or your local farmers market - just don’t forget a straw bag!

Also from Chan Luu is the Wildflower Printed Ruffle Short Set in Olive Green. Also 100% cotton with a traditional block print shirt and short set in olive green with a bold floral print and subtle ruffle hem detail. The generous cut of the blouse and adjustable waist on the shorts allow for an easy, effortless fit. Wear together or separate for sleeping or as a vacation staple by the pool this summer.

When it comes to heritage style and collegiate inspired designs, Polo Ralph Lauren is our favourite. Polo Ralph Lauren has been around for many years and this aesthetic is deeply rooted in their collections. We see it come alive in their lounge and sleepwear collections where they employ traditional cotton knit and jersey fabrications finished with the wide elastic band. Nothing gets more retro ivy league than a branded elastic band.

Our favourite items featuring the classic bands are the Club Terry Sleep Set, Knit Logo Boxers, Triangle Logo Bralette and Striped Seersucker Boxers. Sign us up for all of the above, we’re ready to enroll!

The Club Terry Set is a laid back, long sleeve and pant set, perfect for those looking for a long sleeved pajama set. Not only do they provide relaxed coverage, they are the most comfortable pajamas and loungewear pieces. Fabricated from organic cotton with stretch, they feature the classic polo horse and elastic logo waistband we are so drawn to from Polo. 

For those who run hot at night and may not require a matching set, the cotton boxers are just so cool. We picture these worn lounging with friends on a camping trip or cabin by the lake, taking in the fresh air and feeling the sun warm your bare legs. The carefree style and colours in Tangerine, seersucker Pistachio Green and seersucker Baltic Sea featuring a pony emblem at the hem and Polo Ralph Lauren waistband.

If a set is what you’re after - we don't blame you. There’s something so put together and chic about a matching set. The Striped Poplin Long-Sleeve Pajama Set (available in shorts and pants) and theStriped Seersucker Shirt & Boxer PJ Set are in such cheerful colours, they’ll turn you into a morning person if you aren’t already. We love how these sets inevitably extend the weekend mornings since changing out of them is so unappealing. In fact you don’t have to change out of them at all since we’ve been seeing customers and friends wear the top tucked into jeans. Don’t put it past these PJ’s to do double duty in your wardrobe.

Whether you’re strictly looking for sleepwear or curious to integrate sleep and loungewear into your daily wardrobe, we’re here to help with suggestions and recommendations on the best fabrications and fits.
