I got these silk PJ pants from Quince a few months ago, and really like them so far — they’re one of my favorite pairs to reach for lately, to be honest.

I’m a big fan of silk in general for pajamas — and they’re hard to find! I haven’t gotten a more expensive pair from Lunya or Lilysilk yet, but I’ve had PJ pants in the past from Grana, Nordstrom, and a few other random TJ Maxx/Century 21 type purchases back when I haunted those stores more regularly. The Nordstrom brand PJs got very thin and had to be retired after a few years, unfortunately, but the Grana pair is still going strong. (It looks like Grana has shut down, though – RIP.)

The Quince pair feels comparable to the other silk PJs I’ve had. I like that they have pockets. I didn’t realize quite how much of a slit they have up the leg — it goes just a bit higher than my knee, I think? In bed it frequently feels like I’m wearing shorts, but I don’t really mind it. (It’s kind of the best of all worlds because they’re modest and covering my legs if I’m in my PJs in front of my boys for whatever reason, but in bed they’re super lightweight and breezy.) I’ve washed them with my delicates at least twice now (and air dried, but that takes all of 5 seconds because they’re silk) and can recommend them. I have a slight concern about the waistband elastic getting twisted, which is a pet peeve of mine, but so far they’re fine.

I know that some people prefer crisp looks for their pajamas and sheets — I am not one of those people; linen sheets are some of my favorites. So it doesn’t bug me, but I should warn you that the silk gets pretty wrinkly. (I feel this way about my Printfresh cotton PJ pants, which I am happy to report are still going strong after 3 years or so of machine wash and drying.)

Quince has 5 colors of the PJ pants for $89. I’m 5’4 and often buy petites, but the regular length is fine for me.

(Oh wow – I haven’t checked PJs at Nordstrom in a while, they have a ton of options in silk, with lots marked down (from brands that are not Nordstrom). I know what I’m doing for the next 30 minutes…)
