SLEEPWEAR AS SELF-CARE

As lovely as it can be to languish in, heat is not conducive to a good night’s sleep. You thrash! You sweat! You groan! Morning breaks and you feel, well, broken. There’s a simple solution, though (and it’s not sleeping naked): summer pyjamas. The right garments and fabrics make a world of difference when it comes to nocturnal dressing, you know.

Consuming too much sugar on a regular basis can cause a wealth of health problems, but we are willing to RISK IT ALL for these saccharine summer pyjamas by Helmstedt. There’s also a matching quilted blanket and a silk pillowcase if you really want to take things to excess.

There’s a debate to be had about whether these black linen Asceno pieces are actually summer pyjamas or a matching top and shorts set that you’d flaunt as separates on staycation. Either way, we like them – a lot.

Kim Kardashian clearly has a good understanding of what women want: to go to bed in a pair of big pants and be done with it. There’s also a matching vest top if you won’t settle for anything less than a full SKIMS ensemble.
