Women's Winter Pajamas

Good Ol' Cozy Flannel

There's nothing quite like slipping into flannel women's pajamas for the coldest of winter nights. Unfortunately, they have a bad reputation for being the farthest-from-sexy boudoir attire as well. Sometimes comfort and warmth just have to overcome your desire to be sensual though. Try these looks:

• Crazy for Bargains has a few different patterns available in its flannel pajama sets. Choose from blue candy, blue polka dot, blue snowflake, blue stripes, brown paisley, green snowflakes and so many more.
• Hip Undies has funky styles for the unconventional spirits. Sport some Groovy Love, Donut, Mod Dog or Woodstock flannel pajamas.

And Then There's Fleece

If you're feeling especially ambitious about staying warm and don't plan on a visit from the UPS guy or any other visitor, consider the *Fleece Couch-Sack. Almost as good as footie pajamas, this one-piece, generous fit outfit covers your whole body—no gaps. What's left to the cool air? Your face, hands, and feet. That's it. It comes in navy, medium blue, light blue, red, and dark pink, and it is available at Sierra Trading Post for $34.95. Pay attention to the height-sensitive sizing for the warmest fit.

• Factory Apparel Direct has ladies' micro-fleece pajamas for $29.95 in blue, orchid, or rose.
• Crazy for Bargains, as mentioned above, also has quite a few fleece pajama sets like the Toast and Jammies Bear set

Keeping it Sexy

If your goal in life is to look like a Victoria's Secret model all through the winter, there's a good chance you're a newlywed. In all seriousness, though, you really can look sexy in women's winter pajamas. It's all about layers. Wear a fitted cami on top to show off your décolletage and you'll instantly become one source of heat in the room.

• You can try Pajama Passions for sexy styles to wear when it's cold outside. You can layer a robe over these styles if you get chilly. The Purple Charmeuse Gown and the Purple Charmeuse Cami Top and Pant Set give your legs a bit of coverage, so they're slightly warmer than other options like babydolls and teddies.

The Styles

Winter pajamas aren't all shapeless burlap sack types. You can choose from:

• Camis
• Lounge pants
• College t-shirts and matching pants
• Fitted sweats, like those found in the Victoria's Secret PINK line.
• Anything skimpy, as long as you top it with a robe or an oversized white button-up shirt, quite possibly your lover's
• Long johns/thermal tees

You can even buy pajamas to match your whole family!

For an eclectic look at the winter pajamas spectrum, follow the links below:

• Pajama Gram's Winter Morning Pajamas are 95 percent cotton, 5 percent spandex and run $49.95 to $54.95 depending on the size you wish to purchase. If lavender's your or the recipient's color, you'll love these.

Naughty… But Nice Women's Winter Pajamas

If you absolutely must hold on to your sex appeal and no flannel anything's going to cut it, you can compromise. Wear something slinky underneath a thicker chenille robe or buy a satin nightie and robe set. The robe will cinch in your waist and the material underneath won't be thick enough to add bulk.

Curl Up With a Good Book and Robe

Even if you're wearing a ratty t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants, you can use a robe to top off your look, get warmer, and feel cozy. Here are a few:

• LL Bean has a plush berry pink fleece that will look absolutely amazing on cooler skin tones, especially during the winter months when we're all a bit paler than usual. It'll add a rosy look to your face without having to go out in the cold. The price ranges from $49.95 to $74.

• Kohls.com has a few robes suitable for lounging around in your pajamas, from a floral silk robe to a short modal robe].

Whatever you decide to spend your winter nights in, stay cozy!
