As we swap out our cozy sweaters, puffy jackets, and shearling-lined boots for more summer-friendly staples—we're talking about the always classic vacation dresses, fresh swimwear, and beach-ready sandals—there's one section of our closets we cannot neglect in the process: our sleepwear. Sure, stocking up on weather-appropriate pieces to wear outside of your home is an essential come spring and summertime, but it's just as important to have proper pj's to lounge around and sleep in once the temperatures start to rise. Enter the all-important summer pajamas.

Ahead, we've assembled 13 super-cute short sets (and a few nightgowns) that are sure to keep you cool and comfortable in the heart of summer. But the best part about what we found? While ideal for a day of lounging/sleeping at home, many of them can (if you dare test out the pajama dressing trend) be worn on the streets—just swap out your cozy slippers for sneakers or strappy sandals. Day-to-night dressing made incredibly easy, don't you think? Now, read on to see and shop 13 summer pj's you probably won't want to take off.
