Growing up with grandmas who were all either Southern or Appalachian meant I was witness to a range of signature pajama styles during my childhood sleepovers with them.
My great-grandmother in Georgia always wore a full-length dressing gown, while one of my Ohio grandmothers liked silky two-piece sets, and the other preferred flannel nightshirts with a rounded yoke that looked like something out of Little House on the Prairie. These styles—like the retro housedress—are from another era of fashion that’s catching up as a trend today, so we’re thrilled to see that this cozy, refined staple of mid-century sleepwear is having a little renaissance.

The Best Comforter Sets, According To Our Testing
$58 $50 at Amazon Bed jackets are cut to the waist and can typically be worn open or buttoned, often over a nightgown or other sleepwear. This elegant fleece option is one of the best-selling and top-rated bed jackets available at Amazon, with more than 1,000 five-star ratings and a near-perfect overall grade. The warmth, comfort, and flattering fit are pointed out by many shoppers. “Keeps the chill off while I am reading in bed,” wrote one person. “[It’s] lightweight but keeps me warm.”
It’s got a three-button closure for a versatile fit, and two hip pockets for holding your phone, remote, reading glasses, or just warming up chilly hands. Stylish design choices include a notched collar that’s soft against your neck and the fabric’s honeycomb pattern. It comes in six colors at varying prices.
$37 $30 at Amazon This lightweight option has the cut and collar of a classic bed jacket your grandma might’ve worn in the ‘60s but a silky satin sheen and bold coloring that’s lively and modern. Its quilted pattern is totally eye-catching and puts a sophisticated finish on a more staid set of pajamas, while also hugging you with a cozy layer of warmth. “This jacket is just right for chilly times,” wrote a five-star reviewer who said they wore one like it when they were a little girl. “The length is perfect because it doesn’t get caught up when you lay down or [are] just doing something around the house.”
$31 $25 at Amazon There’s something powerful about a piece of clothing that’s unabashedly feminine, and this fleece bed jacket leans into that with exaggerated pastel coloring and a slight flare at the waistline. It comes in five fun colors, all of which look straight out of an Easter basket, and has elegant drop-needle stitching patterns all over. You can button it all the way to the chin during winter and leave it open over your nightgown during warmer nights. The sleeves end just above the wrist, which buyers say is nice for keeping them out of the way when you have to wash your face or work on the computer.
More than 3,000 Amazon shoppers of all ages have given it a five-star rating with top marks going to its warmth, weight, and overall quality. “Perfect for reading or watching TV in bed or just sitting around in the evening in my nightgown when the nights are a little cooler,” wrote one shopper. “Looks very feminine and retro, and I love the rounded gathered yoke which keeps the jacket from sitting too snugly across the chest.”
