Crisp cotton, soft linen blends and the pleasure of taking your time. Our spring and summer sleepwear edit is made for warm nights, unhurried mornings and feeling lovely at home.
There is a small but welcome change of pace when the day’s clothes come off and your favourite pyjamas go on. The last jobs can wait a moment. You put the kettle on, find a comfortable chair and settle into the evening.
We give plenty of attention to what we wear out into the world. The pieces we wear at home deserve some of that care too. A neckline you like, a waistband that sits comfortably and a fabric that feels good against your skin can make an everyday ritual more enjoyable.
Our spring and summer sleepwear collection brings together Gingerlilly’s striped pyjamas, relaxed linen blends and printed satin, alongside Arabella’s cotton voile nighties. The mood is light, fresh and easy, with beautiful details to enjoy up close.
Start with how you like to feel
Choosing sleepwear begins with personal preference. Do you love the crispness of a cotton shirt, the softer drape of a linen blend, or the freedom of a nightie with no waistband? Think about the pieces you reach for most often, then look for a fresh colour or a finer detail within that familiar shape.
For warmer weather, we are drawn to short sleeves, easy shorts and sleeveless silhouettes. A relaxed fit should give you room to sit, stretch and curl up comfortably. When trying on a set, pay as much attention to the shoulder and waistband as you do to the print; those are the details you will notice every time you wear it.
The enduring charm of cotton stripes
There is a reason a striped pyjama set always looks inviting. It feels familiar and put together, whether you are reading in bed or having breakfast on the verandah. Gingerlilly’s Camilla takes that classic idea into the warmer months with a button-through shirt and matching shorts in 100% cotton.
Choose Camilla in pale blue for a soft, fresh look, or navy stripe for a stronger contrast. Shell buttons, an embroidered pocket and contrast piping give the set a considered finish. The shorts have pockets and an elasticated waistband, combining practical comfort with the pleasure of a matching pair.
For a warmer neutral, Poppy in Ecru pairs black stripes with crisp woven cotton. A camp collar, short sleeves and relaxed shorts keep the shape simple, while piping and embroidery supply the detail. It is an appealing choice if your wardrobe already leans towards cream, black and understated pattern.
Linen blends for a slower start
Some mornings call for a second cup of coffee and a little more time in your pyjamas. Evie has just that kind of ease. Its blend of 55% linen and 45% viscose gives the fabric a soft finish, while a loose button-through shirt, drop sleeves and drawstring shorts create a relaxed silhouette.
The navy stripe feels quietly classic; the pink stripe brings a cheerful note to a holiday bag. Both are lovely for time spent lounging between the day’s plans. Let the shirt fall loosely over the shorts and adjust the drawstring to a comfortable fit.
When packing for a weekend away, start with the set you will enjoy wearing in the morning as much as at bedtime. Add a light robe, a book and your everyday comforts, and the first quiet hour of the day is taken care of.
A little print, a little prettiness
If you enjoy a smoother fabric, Lydia’s Bambi Print Short Set brings a different feel to the collection. Lightweight satin, a delicate brown spot print and lace-edge detailing make it a pretty alternative to stripes. The short-sleeved shirt and elasticated shorts retain an easy, relaxed shape.
This is where choosing sleepwear becomes as personal as choosing an outfit. You might love a neat collar, a small floral or a touch of lace. Pick the detail that makes you smile, even if the only plans are a film and an early night.
The lightness of a cotton nightie
For those who prefer a single, flowing piece, Arabella’s nighties offer a lovely change of shape. Both styles are made from 100% cotton voile, with gentle gathers that let the fabric fall away from the body.
The White Sleeveless Nightie has a fresh simplicity, softened by delicate neckline trim. The Floral V-Neck Dress Nightie brings a pretty print and an open neckline. White has that lovely, freshly laundered look; the floral feels quietly romantic. Choose according to the neckline, colour and amount of room you enjoy.
The robe that brings it together
A light robe is the finishing piece for breakfast, a quiet cup of tea or a cooler start to the day. The Sunny Navy Stripe Linen Robe uses the same 55% linen and 45% viscose blend as Evie, with a long silhouette, three-quarter sleeves and a waist tie.
Over Arabella’s white nightie, the navy stripe gives a lovely sense of contrast. With Evie in navy, it creates a coordinated look through the different lengths. Tie it softly at the waist or leave it open while lounging; the appeal is in being comfortable and feeling a little more dressed.
Everyday pleasures, beautifully chosen
A gift of sleepwear feels personal when it reflects what someone already loves. Start with her preferred shape: a classic shirt-and-short set, a loose nightie or a robe she can wear with her favourites. Then choose the colour or print that feels like her.
For your own collection, a few pieces you enjoy wearing can be enough: a favourite set, a nightie for a change and a light layer for the morning. Follow each garment’s care label to keep its fabric and trims looking their best.
