It’s that time of year when all you want to do is get comfortable, and let’s be honest, that starts with your pajamas. Whether you’re in warmer climates or waking up to the breath of fresh air outside, cozy fall and winter pajamas are a must, and that means changing up the clothes you’ve been wearing since mid-spring.
Because of those sexy little skirts? Those are for summer. Those are for waking up on the beach on vacation, standing outside watering the flowers, and having the July sun bake all the petunias to death. ‘Tis the season to squat, y’all. We’re looking for fleece, we’re looking for ultra-comfy, and we’re looking for a festive vibe.
We’re looking for Ingalls’ mom’s pajamas.
And I’m not just talking about high-necked flannel pajamas, but all those cozy nightgowns that make you feel extra feminine, extra comfortable, and even extra sexy. (Okay, ankle-length ones might not be the sexiest choice.) These are perfect for fall movie nights, early winter morning coffee, or even for opening Christmas presents. So pick your favorite, grab your go-to teacup, and get ready to embrace your inner Ma Ingalls.
The Softest Floral Pajamas
Classic pajamas are a must-have for any wardrobe, and this pair from Croft & Barrow gives you a cozy vibe while being lightweight enough to wear around the house. There’s nothing worse than comfy pajamas that you feel like you can’t put on without breaking out into sweat. I love how retro and sweet this one is, but it doesn’t make you feel frumpy.
The most comfortable shirt dress
If this isn’t coded by Ma Ingalls, I don’t know what is. I’d love to lounge on this snap front sweatshirt and wrap myself up on the couch with a hot cup of tea. You can wear it over lighter pajamas or even light-colored tops and bottoms, but I also think it’s super comfortable to wear to relax in after a shower.
The ultimate flannel pajamas
I mean, come on. Jessica London’s long nightgown is not only covered in a cardinal pattern, but it also goes all the way down to her ankles and Made of flannel. Like, all the comfort items you need for pajamas rolled into one.
Sexy, comfortable look
I have a few Auden pajamas from Target and they are so cozy and comfortable… but also a little sexy? I just love wearing big, oversized, collared pajamas, I feel so comfortable and it gives me the best feeling. Don’t worry; it’s long enough to wear around the house.
The perfect plaid pajamas
Don’t you look like you’re having some winter fun wearing dad’s work shirt? This flannel shirt dress from Natural Life is nice and long, and it’s super roomy and comfortable, allowing you to move around freely without feeling exposed or needing to get dressed as quickly as possible. Plaid is also the perfect color combination and works well from fall to winter if you’re into themes.
The softest socks
You know those little feet can get cold, so you better have a pair of soft, comfy socks to go with your pajamas. These UGG chenille socks aren’t too long, but they feel like a pair of lightweight slippers when you put them on (while still staying comfortable and warm). I usually hate socks, but they also don’t slip off my legs and I can actually walk around the house without getting completely irritated by them.
Flannel pajamas for the whole family
Hanna Andersson always has the best holiday prints and I’m obsessed with this festive forest version, especially when paired with flannel pajamas. Not only is it another cozy winter pajama idea, but it’s also great for the whole family – you can use the same print in other adult sets as well as kids and baby sizes.
The best sleeveless pajamas
My best friend hates wearing pajamas with sleeves, but I knew I could still find a classic, comfortable pair that wouldn’t make her feel stuck or trapped. This sleeveless pajama from Amazon has all the traditional details you love, but is nice and lightweight for those who want comfort but don’t want to feel overheated or restricted by a ton of fabric.
Breathable pajamas
Another great option for those who just need to breathe in their pajamas, this cotton pontoon pajama from Lands’ End is both pretty and lightweight, made from the soft, stretchy, breathable fabric you love. The scoop neck is also very flattering and I love the little tie at the top which adds a touch of feminine comfort.
The most comfortable plush robe
If the fire in that little house goes out, you know mom has to pack extra clothes. So indulge in your winter wish in the big woods with this plush robe from LL Bean. The purple color is particularly soft, comfortable and gorgeous. Wouldn’t you like to wear it on Christmas morning? Same.
The best winter slippers
I have recently become a Bombas girl and I wish everyone had these non-slip boots in their own home. These shoes are lined with sherpa and have a soft, grippy base, so you can wear them around the house without feeling like you’re wearing a clunky pair of shoes on your couch.
What’s your favorite cozy pajama look? Channel your inner Ma Ingals throughout fall and winter with one or all of these options.
