I have two favourite pairs of pyjamas that are on high rotation through winter. The first is a pair of blue cotton men’s pyjamas from the Australian brand Contare that cost about $70. I bought them during lockdown when comfort was needed above all else. They have a narrow elastic waist and a generous amount of fabric through the pants and long-sleeve shirt. The flannel is so soft and light which makes them perfect for Australian winters.

The other is a mismatched pair by the Danish brand Tekla. They’re more expensive but also a bit more special. The shirt has a navy blue and white stripe. The pants are green with a wide elastic waistband, with small pleats that create a nice amount of volume in the legs. They’re made from an organic cotton drill (hence the price point) that is slightly stiffer than my Contare ones – which means I’m more inclined to wear them out of the house. The shirt is great for the beach and I’ve worn the pants with a blazer and heels to more than one party.
