29 Short Pyjama Sets To Beat The Heat This Summer

Sleeping when there’s a heatwave on is not for the faint of heart. To help you out, we’ve trawled the Internet to bring you the best (and cutest) short pyjama sets that will keep you cool all night, even when temperatures soar above 30 degrees. From sweet embroidered sets to this season’s buttermilk yellow shade and traditional striped duos, scroll to shop our favourites…
We’ve all been there when it comes to sleeping in the heat, or rather, the lack of. It’s all about light, natural fabrics, sleeveless and short shapes and, of course, a good fan. Thankfully, there are so many cute pyjama sets out there right now that will help to keep you cool without compromising on style.
On the high street, look to Zara for a limited-edition embroidered set that looks as though you’ve picked it up from a vintage stall on Portobello – plus points that the top also looks great with denim shorts. Or H&M, who have launched a sweet pair of Broderie Anglaise sets in our favourite buttermilk yellow hue. Whilst Free People and Damson Madder are the brands to look out for for cool-girl slumber party vibes – think cherry red ruffles and striped shorts and cami sets – both best paired with a silk eye mask and less than the recommended eight hours.
If you’re looking to invest, some stunning brands are doing brilliant things in the nightwear department right now. From Desmond & Dempsey’s gorgeous prints that make going to bed a treat, to Honna’s chunky stripes that feel comforting and nostalgic, and finally, With Nothing Underneath’s cool linen shirt and boxer short sets – not strickly pjs, they can be worn as a cool co-ord too – but all we want to wear when the Dyson and ice pack just ain’t cutting it.
