THERE is nothing quite like cuddling up in a gorgeous pair of clean, crisp cotton pyjamas. They are great for lounging around the house and for climbing into bed with a loved one.

While a pair of PJ’s may not set the world alight when it comes to romance, a strappy cotton top and matching shorts will go a long way to enticing a lover back to bed.



For pyjamas with a twist, Oasis has a fabulous range of bedtime wear, full of jewel-bright colours and pretty trims. Invest in their pretty cotton camisoles and stretchy shorts in Doris Day type pastel hues for nightwear reminiscent of pillow fights and midnight feasts.

For a more exotic look check out the cream cotton pyjamas currently in-store at Debenhams, or the mandarin-collared sleeveless tops and matching bottoms in raspberry satin from Oasis.

If comfort is at the top of your agenda, then shop for cosy fabrics such as fleece and cotton waffle as well as more traditional woven cotton.

Next, Gap, Littlewoods are among the best and Marks and Spencer, whose Toile de Jouy cotton pyjamas have a pretty floral design while their satin PJs are high-end glamour. Also check out the Boden catalogue for their gorgeous floral patterned pyjamas, above left, and sumptuous fleecy robe.
