Just like how wearing fancy lingerie under your everyday clothes can be a private pick-me-up, so can wearing one of the best sexy pajama sets. The right pair of PJ's can be an easy way to feel pampered, and of course, it can lead to some seductive moments as well. To find a pajama set that feels as indulgent as it looks, seek out figure-hugging cuts or satiny fabrics with lingerie-inspired details.
Although silk and satin fill the racks at boutiques like La Perla, they require delicate care and can be cost-prohibitive. Most affordable alternatives are made from polyester satin, which is still silky soft and often has the added benefit of being machine-washable. Lace trim is undeniably feminine, and a pajama set made entirely of lace reveals as it conceals in a way that rivals the racier lingerie pieces in your dresser.
Of course, you don’t have to rely on über-feminine staples if that feels a little played-out to you: a bodycon romper with cheeky-cut boyshorts can also heat things up. And if you love the classic appeal of button-down pajamas, a silky set in a sophisticated print — perhaps unbuttoned low — is sensuous rather than sexual, and easy to wear every day. Likewise, a seemingly sweet nightgown might have a surprise flash of skin with a low-cut back or neckline.
Whatever sexy means to you, when you want to pull out all the stops — for yourself or someone else — these are seven gorgeous pajama sets for every day of the week. The best part? They all cost less than $50.

1A Lace-Trimmed Satin Cami With Matching Sleep Shorts
A lace-trimmed satin camisole and shorts set is one step up from the regular cotton pairing you may already have, for a seductive look that’s not over the top. The camisole features adjustable straps, and the shorts have a thick satin ribbon tie for the perfect bow. Wash these either by hand or on a delicate cold cycle in a lingerie bag to keep them looking gorgeous long-term. "Good fabric and it is not only comfortable, but it also looks sexy," one shopper commented. "It makes me feel happy when I wake up in the morning."

2This Open-Back Satin Nightgown With A Matching Robe
This satin nightgown and robe set with tonal scalloped lace trim has a surprise: a strappy racerback that dips low for a surprise peek of skin. It also comes with adjustable straps and a dainty bow at the bust. The matching robe's three-quarter sleeves are a lot more manageable and less snag-prone than a kimono. Its belt is fully removable, but there aren't any additional ties on the inside to keep that slippery satin from working its way open. Several shoppers commented that the set was "soft and sexy," with one noting, "Very beautiful nightwear, fits true to size and very sexy and comfortable." Even better: both pieces can be tossed in the washer and dryer.

4A Long, Show-Stopping Nightgown In Plus Sizes
This romantic sleepwear option exudes Old Hollywood glamour in sheer floral lace with eyelash trim and a long sweeping hem.

I live for this thing and the lace is lovely as well." Shoppers reported that the lace was soft and comfortable, although the hemline was slightly long for some. "It was a little long for me, I’m 5’6”, but would work with heels," a reviewer noted for comparison. Hand-wash to maintain the delicate, high-quality lace for a piece you can swan about in forever.
