Add these stylish, comfortable and summery pyjama sets to your loungewear drawer, ASAP. 


The best thing about summer? The warmer weather. The worst thing about summer? Sleeping in the warmer weather. When the few days of high temperatures do finally hit us in the UK, it means that our sleepwear has to work even harder to keep us cool and comfortable all through the night.

With August approaching, that probably means it’s time to trade out your fuzzy bathrobes and sherpa-lined pyjamas for something a little bit floatier. Luckily, the likes of M&S, Lucy & Yak and Doc Cotton are on hand with airy and stylish robes, sets and dresses that look good enough to wear out and about. Here are 10 of our favourites.
