More Pajamas We Love

Petite Plume

Pima Pajama Set

Pima is the name of the game for top-of-the-line cotton, and it takes center stage across 15 styles of Petite Plume’s pajama sets. Available in short sleeve, long sleeve, shorts, and pants, these sets are buttery smooth and breathable for night after night of glorious sleeps.

Alex Mill

P’Jimmies Sleep Shirt

Sleeping can be fun, at least, that’s what Alex Mill thinks. Made in collaboration with funnyman Jimmy Fallon, these P’Jimmies are offered in a colorblock option (also available in various stripes and a flannel colorblocked colorway), with the option for either shorts or long pants. They’re basically built like your going-out chore coat, but built for sleep—or just lounging around.

Sleepy Jones

Henry Pajama Set

There’s nothing sleepy about the Henry pajamas other than you as soon as you slip into them. Available in more colorways than you could possibly imagine, the Henry is just one more resident on top of your comfy mattress.

Derek Rose

Men’s Kleburn Stripe Flannel Long Pajama Set

Welcome to the world of luxe pajamas, where your typical cotton kit gets done up in a unique print with a damn near perfect fit. Just be sure to say “thank you, Derek Rose,” for all of those sweet dreams you’re about to have.

Emma Willis

Cobalt Linen Pyjamas

Linen is in fact a year-round fabric with temperature-regulating properties and an overall wonderful texture. Emma Willis’ beautiful shirts and button downs led way to this excellent linen pajama set that’s just as good for strolls to the corner deli as they are for Sunday morning lie ins.

Brooks Brothers

Cotton Broadcloth Paisley Pajamas

Switch out of your Brooks Brothers dress shirt and right into its pajamas, made from the same cotton broadcloth material you love. For work and play (er, sleep), BB has you covered.

Tommy John

Cozy Long Sleeve Crew Neck & Jogger Set

This brushed jersey set from Tommy John is a sleep-worthy duo that’s sure to be a crowd pleaser. The inseam might be a tad too short for some folks, but chilly ankles call for sleep socks.

Linen Pyjamas

What to Look for in a Great Pair of Pajamas

The most stylish options are heavy on the louche sex appeal (silky satin, anyone?) without compromising on comfort or ease of movement. But while comfort-enhancing features like elastic waistbands and highly breathable fabrics like modal are great, your sleepwear should also be stylish enough that you wouldn’t be embarrassed to at least answer the door—and maybe even leave the house—wearing them. The right PJs should be a year-round flex, from ultra-soft cotton pajama sets that’ll make you feel like a worldly sophisticate to silky lounge pants you could—and should!—wear out and about with, say, a big, boxy button-down and a pair of loafers.

That 5-pack of XXL Hanes tees you ordered by accident and then repurposed as evening attire? Retire them. That overly roomy, toothpaste-stained bathrobe you’re afraid to put in the washing machine? Maybe toss that one. (While you’re at it, ditch those ratty workout joggers you wear to bed as well.) Elevate your jammies by swapping out that short-sleeve T-shirt/sweatpant combo you’ve been sleeping in since high school and invest in a proper set.

How We Test and Review Products

Style is subjective, we know—that’s the fun of it. But we’re serious about helping our audience get dressed. Whether it’s the best white sneakers, the flyest affordable suits, or the need-to-know menswear drops of the week, GQ Recommends’ perspective is built on years of hands-on experience, an insider awareness of what’s in and what’s next, and a mission to find the best version of everything out there, at every price point.

Our staffers aren’t able to try on every single piece of clothing you read about on GQ.com (fashion moves fast these days), but we have an intimate knowledge of each brand’s strengths and know the hallmarks of quality clothing—from materials and sourcing, to craftsmanship, to sustainability efforts that aren’t just greenwashing. GQ Recommends heavily emphasizes our own editorial experience with those brands, how they make their clothes, and how those clothes have been reviewed by customers. Bottom line: GQ wouldn’t tell you to wear it if we wouldn’t.

How We Make These Picks

We make every effort to cast as wide of a net as possible, with an eye on identifying the best options across three key categories: quality, fit, and price.

To kick off the process, we enlist the GQ Recommends braintrust to vote on our contenders. Some of the folks involved have worked in retail, slinging clothes to the masses; others have toiled for small-batch menswear labels; all spend way too much time thinking about what hangs in their closets.

We lean on that collective experience to guide our search, culling a mix of household names, indie favorites, and the artisanal imprints on the bleeding-edge of the genre. Then we narrow down the assortment to the picks that scored the highest across quality, fit, and price.
