IT’S not just coats, boots and jumpers that are January fashion must-haves – pyjamas are the winter warmer essential we can’t live without. Especially this year, when, thanks to the pandemic, many of us are hibernating even more than usual.

When it comes to practical PJs, nothing beats a two-piece set. Whether flannel, cotton, satin or silk, a long-sleeved top and trousers will keep you warm at night (layer with a vest if you’re really feeling the chill) and can double up as stylish loungewear for mooching around on weekend mornings.

What’s trending in nightwear right now? It’s all about prints. From sassy spots and classic florals to fierce leopard print and adorable animal motifs, the latest designs are chic and cosy.
