Aerie Elephant Boyfriend Boxer
Aerie Polka Dot Girly Boxer
I don’t own real pajamas. Typically, I just sleep in a t-shirt (which makes the logistics of venturing out of the bedroom a little difficult if I’m staying as an overnight guest in someone else’s home). I think it may be time to invest in actual sleepwear, so I’ve started doing some research.
A good, gradual step forward into full-on sleepwear would be Aerie by American Eagle Boyfriend Boxers or Girly Boxers. They’d do the job of getting me clothed on bottom for bedtime, but they don’t have matching tops, so I’d have to hold on to my t-shirts. I wish Aerie had pajama sets, because they’ve come up with some really irresistible patterns, especially on the Elephant Boyfriend Boxer and the Polka Dot Girly Boxer.

VS Tee-jama
I’m going to skip the lace-trimmed slips and teddies at Victoria’s Secret because (a) I’m not interested in turning up my sex appeal for when I just want to pass out and go to bed; and (b) they have some great casual pajamas built for comfort. I really like the Fireside Long Jane Pajama (available in ten different patterns), but thermal long john jammies aren’t necessarily a look I can see myself pulling off. The Tee-jama (also available in ten different patterns) looks comfortable, but I think I want something a little more fun and pajamaish, like The Dreamer Flannel Pajama (available in twenty-four different patterns!).
I was hoping I’d be able to find a really cute pajama set at Urban Outfitters, but they

don’t have a huge selection of sleepwear right now, and no sets at all. The one item I found that I’m really loving, though, is the Sparkle and Fade Knit Ruffle Short. I can easily see myself pairing it with a camisole or t-shirt and looking super cute for sleepy time.
If I ever feel the need to splurge on some designer pajamas, I’ll head over to Neiman Marcus for the Oscar de la Renta Heirloom PJs. These look so crisp and luxurious, I’ll probably need to make a major bedding threadcount upgrade to give them the sleep environment they truly deserve.

Usually, I’d rather buy more actual clothing than spend money on fancy PJs—but now that I’ve seen how stylishly sweet my dreams could be, I’m changing my mind!
