I’m a big fan of PJs all day, so finding the best plus size pyjamas for our curvy bodies is a pretty important task. Is there nothing better than ending the day early, and getting into comfy PJs and calling it a day? I think not. 🥰
While my ever-growing collection of sleepwear is mostly from Best & Less (they never disappoint), I also have a few from other brands as well. I’m like to shop smart (read: buy more affordable) for sleepwear, but I know when I splurge on pieces like Peter Alexander offer, they last for years and years, and they’re always so fun.
I’ve spent some time compiling the best spots to buy plus size pyjamas, to hopefully help you have a stylish night’s sleep. Happy shopping!
Top tips for buying plus size pyjamas
- Fabric matters. Living in Australia, and sleeping through some seriously hot summer nights, it’s important to make sure the fabric is breathable. Cotton is always a winner, being lightweight, soft and breathable. It also washes really well too.
- Comfort is king. Knowing how a brand sizes, and whether they’re generally small for their size, so that you size up if you need. It’s not a good’s night sleep if you’re being strangled by your pyjamas, so make sure they fit well and aren’t uncomfortable.
Where to shop plus size pyjamas for a good (and stylish) night’s sleep
Peter Alexander | Sizes 16 to 28
Known as Australia’s most iconic PJ maker, Peter Alexander knows what makes great sleepwear, and always manages to inject a little fun into their designs too. With bricks and mortar stores and online offerings too, plus size can be a bit hard to find in store, and is more reliable online. I love Peter Alexander for the quality, they last years and years.
Taking Shape | Sizes 10 to 30
When it comes to sleeping comfortably, Taking Shape is my choice – they really understand soft, breathable fabrics in their clothing and sleepwear. Whether it’s sets or nighties, they’re constantly adding to their collections with fun fabrics and prints.
Best & Less | Sizes 18 to 26
Best & Less is my go-to for plus size clothing at an affordable price – they really get it. I love their PJs, and have nighties that I adore and wear almost every night over summer. They do soft fabrics well, and generous sizing. Best of all, their prices are affordable too.
Big W | Sizes 18 to 26
Big W is always reliable when it comes to plus size pieces, I think they’re really starting to up their game by introducing more styles and getting a little bit more on trend as well. While Best & Less is my go-to for PJs, I always keep an eye on Big W to see what they’re coming up with, especially because they have affordable options that are sometimes hard to ignore.
Yours Clothing | Sizes 14 to 40
I love their generous sizing and cute designs. Prices start from around $13, with some pieces a little on the higher side. Some of my favourite PJs are from Yours Clothing, and even though I paid a low price for them, they’ve lasted a very long time.
The Oodie | One size (oversized)
I’ll confess, I haven’t tried these yet myself, but so many in my community rave about these and how much they love them. And look, with that oversized fit and comfy fabric, what’s not to love?
City Chic | Sizes 12 to 24
City Chic is my go-to when I’ve given up hope on everything else. It’s always reliable, and I feel connected to it, because it was, at one time, my only option for plus size clothing in my 20’s and early 30’s. I have a few pieces of their sleepwear, and it’s lasted over time, super easy to wear, and a little bit more fun than my other pieces.
