When something is made of the Ferrari of fabric — silk — it leads you straight into the sexy sphere. Even though sexiness is subjective, slipping into pajamas that feel amazing can go a long way. Whether your personal vision of sexy is a seductive 1930s-style slip with a slit way up to there or a smart menswear-inspired set with long pants and a notch collar, these pieces all have one sexy thing in common: They are made with the smoothest, silkiest fabrics.

To find the right sexy pajamas for you, consider first that offerings come in genuine silk or budget-friendly satin. When you choose silk, you’re investing in the labor-intensive process of harvesting the cocoons of silkworms and the subsequent processing of that material (in other words: it’s expensive for a reason). You’ll want to pay attention to the momme, which measures the density of the fabric. Ranging from a minimum of six to a maximum of 30, the higher the momme the more durable, heavy, and long-lasting the material. Keep in mind that 19 momme is a typical momme option found in items like pajamas. For a more wallet-friendly alternative, satin is usually made from synthetic materials like polyester that still feel silky-smooth and are generally vegan-friendly.

Whether you prefer a minimalist slip, two-piece cami set with a peek of lace, glamorous long gown, or bodysuit with plunging V-necklines, there are options below that are sure to make you feel undeniably sexy — no matter what your evening has in store.

Keep scrolling to find 22 of the sexiest sleepwear options around. The best part? There’s one for every budget.
