Someone can have the strongest pajama game around, then be absolutely crippled when a heatwave strikes. Fashion-wise, the fact of the matter is the category is overwhelmingly won by menswear-inspired sets, long sleeves and pants, or really fantastic sweatsuits—all stuff that looks great on but isn’t meant for hot temps.
With the dog days of summer steadily approaching, we did a big browse of Amazon’s in-house brands for the best sets, tanks, and otherwise barely-there pieces that are ready to handle the nights that just won’t quit.
1
Sleeveless Split Back Top and Short Pajama Set
A sleek set looks stylish and feels even better in between the sheets. The tulip back helps with lightness and air movement, especially great when it’s stuffy inside.
2
Abigail Textured Bra Top Sweater
For when you’d rather be sleeping in the nude but au naturel isn’t an option: a bright bralette that’s unlined, seamless, and super comfy.
3
Poplin Short and Sleep Tee Set
If menswear-inspired pajamas are your signature most of the year, heatwave-proof your look with a pair of striped poplin cotton shorts and a simple tee.
4
Chemise with Racer Back
Add a modern nightgown to your drawer. Lightweight with skinny straps and graphic stripes, this pick is basically a slip dress intended for sleeping.
5
Heritage Fleece Bermuda Short
Tie-dye fleece shorts are the upgraded version of the boxer shorts you loved sleeping in during high school. Wear them to bed, keep them on for coffee on the porch.
6
Slim-Fit Tank, Pack of 2
Whether it’s about keeping it simple or sweat-proofing, sometimes all we want to wear to bed is a basic tank. And, not for nothing, this two-pack comes in more than 30 color options.
7
Lettuce Hem Cami & Short Loungewear Set
Matched sets don’t have to be all long-sleeves and buttons. This two-piece option has the same polish but with a lot less fabric.
8
Spectrum High-Waist Booty Yoga Short
The name says it all. When you need to wear as little as possible to bed, you can’t go wrong with a pair of booty shorts.
9
Lightweight Waffle Mid-Length Robe
Thinking you need to ditch your bathrobe during the summer months is a rookie mistake. Swap out heavier, longer styles with something cut above the knee and made in a lightweight material.
10
All Day Comfort Spliced Sports Bra
A sports bra might be intended for working out, but that doesn’t make it any less phenomenal for sleeping. The cropped cut is great for hot temps, and the form-fitting construction keeps it from riding up between the sheets.
11
Lightweight Lounge Terry Pajama Short
For the ultimate in comfortable versatility, loose terry shorts are a win-win. The brushed fabric feels great on bare legs, and this pair will match with whatever tee, tank, or bra top you’re lounging in.
