What to Wear to a Pajama Party: Stylish Sleepwear Ideas You’ll Love

There’s something undeniably charming about a pajama party. Whether it's a throwback slumber party with your best girlfriends, a cozy night in with snacks and movies, or an elevated girls' night with cocktails and matching robes, these events are all about comfort—with a side of fashion flair. The key? Finding that perfect balance between cute, comfortable, and a little luxurious.

Your pajama party outfit doesn’t just set the mood for the night—it’s an extension of your personal style. From silk slips to cozy cotton sets, what you wear can help you feel confident, relaxed, and ready to enjoy the moment. And when you choose pieces that are thoughtfully designed—soft on the skin, easy on the eyes, and sustainably made—you’re already halfway to the perfect night.

Dressing for a Stylish & Comfortable PJ Party

Let’s be real: pajamas aren’t just for sleep anymore. These days, they double as chic loungewear and even social-ready outfits for everything from lazy Sundays to late-night heart-to-hearts. That’s why what you wear to a pajama party matters. You want to look and feel amazing, without sacrificing the cozy ease you’d expect from your favorite PJs.


But before you start shopping, consider:

  • The theme (Is it casual? Glam? Holiday-themed?)

  • The weather (Opt for light fabrics in summer, flannel or long sleeves for winter)

  • What makes you feel your best—whether that’s a matching pajama set, a soft bodysuit, or a floaty robe

With Gooseberry Intimates, you never have to choose between beauty and function, cause you can have both! Our lounge and sleepwear collections are built around soft, breathable fabrics, flattering cuts, and thoughtful details like delicate lace, minimalist buttons, and silk draping. Each piece is designed to help women feel both empowered and relaxed—because that’s what a truly great pajama party is all about!

Best Pajama Styles for a Party-Ready Look

Silk Slip Dresses for Effortless Glam

If you're looking to add a little red carpet magic to your next slumber party, the silk slip dress is your secret weapon. Equal parts sultry and sophisticated, a silk dress skims the body just right and instantly elevates any pajama party outfit. It’s perfect for women who want to channel effortless elegance while still staying ultra-comfortable.


Why we love them:

  • Featherlight fabrics that feel incredible on the skin

  • Easy to style with a robe, fluffy slippers, or even a sleek headband

  • Minimal effort, maximum impact for your night in

Try Gooseberry Intimates' signature silk slip dresses like the Manhattan Dress in Ivory. This silky slip drapes like a dream, offering a flattering cut and luxe feel that moves with you from lounging to late-night chats. Pair it with a satin robe or dainty accessories for a pajama party look that’s anything but ordinary.

Chic Matching Pajama Sets or Sleepwear Sets

There’s something so satisfying about slipping into a matching pajama set. Perfect for pajama parties with a polished twist, these sets offer structure and softness, blending clean lines with romantic details like lace trims, short sleeves, or mother-of-pearl buttons.

Top reasons to choose a matching PJ set:

  • Makes you look instantly put-together, even if you just rolled out of bed.

  • Comes in tons of comfy fabrics, from soft cotton for summer to plush knits for cooler nights.

  • Great for group themes—if you're hosting or joining a party with a coordinated look, this is the perfect option.

Made for movie marathons, midnight snacks, and heart-to-hearts, the Cozy PJ Set in Peony can be your go-to for a cute and comfortable pajama party look. The relaxed button-down shirt and elastic-waist shorts make lounging feel luxe—whether you're hosting or just showing up in style.


Bonus Tip: Add a silky robe,  fuzzy slippers, and a silk headband, and you’re pajama-party ready in the sweetest way. This can also help you keep warm between late-night movie scenes.

Luxe Bodysuits for a Bold Look

Who says you can't turn up the style at a pajama party? If you want a look that’s equal parts bold, comfortable, and body-celebrating, a lace or mesh bodysuit is a standout choice. It hugs your curves while giving you room to move and lounge—and it can totally double as loungewear or layering pieces beyond the party.


Why bodysuits work so well:

  • They create a sleek silhouette while keeping everything secure and chic.

  • Pair well with soft pajama pants, a flowing robe, or even a cozy cardigan.

  • Come in sheer, strappy, or lace styles depending on your mood and the theme.

For the pajama party that calls for a little drama (the good kind), the Mon Cheri Long Sleeve Bodysuit in Black delivers. With its sheer mesh sleeves, figure-hugging fit, and delicate detailing, this bodysuit is equal parts bold and elegant!


Styling Idea: Tuck a sheer bodysuit into high-waisted lounge pants or cotton shorts, and add fuzzy socks and a head wrap for a laid-back yet fashion-forward twist.

Oversized Shirts & Bralettes for Casual Chic

Maybe your pajama party vibe is more low-key, with snacks, skincare, and laughter until 2 a.m. If so, oversized shirts and pretty bralettes are your go-to outfit formula. Relaxed but undeniably stylish, this combo strikes the perfect balance between casual and cool.


Mix and match with:

  • An oversized button-down shirt or classic short sleeve tee.

  • A lace bralette or cropped underwear top for a feminine touch

  • Loose-fitting lounge pants, shorts, or ribbed leggings for peak comfort.

You can add a flirty pop of color to your pajama party while feeling sexy with the Be Mine Bra in Red. Featuring delicate lace, underwire support, and romantic detailing, this bra brings just the right amount of bold to your night-in look. Whether it’s peeking out from under an oversized shirt or paired with matching bottoms, it’s a fun and feminine way to upgrade your sleepwear. And if you’re going to a lingerie party, this piece also makes a fantastic statement!


Why it works: It feels like something you’d throw on at home—but the details (like lace, color, and cut) elevate it into an intentional, photo-ready look. It's perfect for chill hangouts where you want to feel cute and cozy without trying too hard.

Styling PJs for Every Theme and Season

No two pajama parties are alike—and that’s the fun of it. Whether it’s a themed bash, a cozy winter get-together, or a summertime slumber soirée, there’s a pajama party outfit that’s just right for the mood. Here’s how to style your sleepwear to match every theme and season, so you feel both on-trend and totally at ease.

Hollywood Glam Pajama Party

Cue the spotlight. A Hollywood-themed slumber party calls for Old Hollywood elegance with a soft, sultry edge. Think red lips, silk draping, and dramatic entrances—yes, even in your living room.


What to wear:

  • A sleek silk slip dress in red, black, or champagne.

  • A floor-grazing robe with feathered or satin trim.

  • Crystal hair clips, dainty heels, and a bold red lipstick for instant glam.

Pro Tip: Layer a lace bralette underneath your slip for a peek of sexy detail that’s both subtle and stunning.

Playful & Fun Onesie Party

Sometimes, you just want to be cozy and a little silly—and there’s nothing wrong with that! Onesie parties are all about playful energy and comfort-first fashion, perfect for both kids and adults alike.


What to pack:

  • A soft fleece or cotton onesie in a fun print or animal design.

  • Fuzzy socks or slippers for peak cozy vibes.

  • A sleep mask or oversized hoodie for extra warmth.

Activity Tip: These types of pajamas are perfect for lounging, movie marathons, and late-night karaoke.

Warm & Cozy Looks for Winter Pajama Parties

When it’s cold outside, your pajama game should be all about soft layers and warm fabrics. Whether you're curled up by a fireplace or hosting a snowy night-in, winter pajama parties are your chance to go big on texture and layering.


Cold-weather must-haves:

  • Flannel pajama sets with long sleeves and pants.

  • Plush robes, thermal short sleeve tops, and fuzzy lounge socks.

  • A bodysuit layered under a knit cardigan for warmth without bulk.


Style Tip: Choose winter-inspired patterns like checks or classic stripes for a festive seasonal look.

Lightweight & Breathable Styles for Summer

Hot weather calls for breezy silhouettes and barely-there fabrics. Whether your pajama party is poolside or just during a warm summer night, opt for styles that keep you cool while still looking cute.


Go-to summer picks:

  • Silk camisoles and lace-trimmed shorts.

  • Cropped pajama tops paired with matching cotton panties.

  • Lightweight sleep dresses or soft short sleeve sets in breathable fabrics.

Styling Tip: Add a messy bun, a spritz of body mist, and a dainty necklace to elevate your warm-weather look without overheating.

Accessories to Upgrade Your Pajama Party Look

Accessories aren’t just for going out, but they're also the secret to taking your pajama party outfit from simple to standout. The right finishing touches can add personality, polish, and a little extra sparkle to your night in!


Here are some must-have PJ party accessories you should consider having:

  • Fluffy slippers or chic mules to stay stylish while keeping your feet cozy

  • A silk sleep mask for that boudoir-chic vibe

  • Scrunchies or headbands in satin or lace for a pulled-together hair moment

  • Dainty jewelry like layered necklaces, anklets, or minimalist hoops

  • A lightweight robe in matching tones to add softness and sophistication

Pro Tip: Choose accessories that complement your pajama fabric and color—pair silk with pearls, cotton with gold-toned metals, and lace with soft pastels.
