Sleepwear you want to be seen in

Ditch your old sweatpants or ex-BF’s T-shirt; these PJs are great for sleep-time and for lounging in.

Sleepwear in summer can be tricky. Either you’re borrowing your boyfriend’s shirts, which are faded or a bit (ahem) hole-y, or you’re in something slinky meant only for the bedroom. As summer holidays arrive, you’ll want to find sleepwear that is houseguest or family getaway appropriate.

Here’s our list of sleepwear options that are comfortable enough for sleeping and great for lounging around.

  • The annual family getaway

    So you’ve been dating for a few months, things are going well and now he wants you to join on the family’s annual Christmas holiday.

    Family holiday time means your PJs should be fun (with plenty of coverage) and definitely not sexy. Pack a camisole and cropped pants combination or T-shirt and shorts set so that morning coffee in the communal kitchen isn’t awkward.

  • Girls only break

    It’s finally time to let loose and hit the beach with your girls. While you’re pretty comfortable around your besties, you want relaxed fit PJs for lounging around the house. Shorts and strappy tops are great for summer nights and morning gossip sessions over lattes and croissants.

  • First family holiday

    The first family holiday for a newbie mom is daunting. It’s tough trying to pack everything you think your new baby will need. Then there’s trying to juggle routine and, of course, the night (and early morning) feeds. You want something that looks decent as you shuffle through the morning and try and make parenthood look breezy. A camisole nightie is great for easy feeding and a matching gown will ensure you look ‘put together’.

  • Green power

    You consider yourself an eco-warrior. You divide your recycling, use grey water to water your pot plants and try to walk instead of drive. So what pyjamas do you pack for your weekend hiking trip? Your PJs should match your ‘green’ attitude, right?

    Look out for recycled polyester blends. Woolworths uses a portion of recycled plastic pulp in their fabric. This recycled polyester/cotton blend gives cotton and polyester a longer life cycle while still being gentle on the skin and our planet. Chill out in fun slogan PJs and relaxed fit playsuit made from this sustainable blend.

  • Bae weekend away

    You’ve been dating for a while and now things are starting to get ‘Facebook official’. He’s planned a weekend away or he’s invited you to join him and his friends for a weekend getaway of the city. You want something that’s sexy, but not too revealing… a black lace trim chemise is always a classic.
