I've spent much of the last year living in pajamas. My collection is hardly sexy; it's more of a treasure trove of of boxy sports team t-shirts, sweatpants so wide my legs disappear, and elastic boxer shorts with tiny dogs on them. Like I said: Not particularly titillating. So when I discovered Quince's washable silk tank and shorts pajama set, I knew I needed to add them to my ever-growing stockpile.
For the uninitiated, Quince is a brand with a minimalist aesthetic, on a mission to craft pieces with an equal or greater quality compared to leading luxury brands. Think $50 cashmere sweaters and under $100 leather totes, along with menswear, loungewear, fine jewelry, and even home goods. And although the affordable cashmere collection has certainly been a huge best-seller, one of the most popular categories is Quince's 100 percent washable silk.

Until last week, the aforementioned 100 percent washable silk tank and shorts pajama set was out of stock — complete with a 2,000-person waitlist. They're back now, and if you haven't yet splurged on a silk set, Quince's version is entirely affordable and priced at just $80, which is 50 percent less than traditional retail.
Ever since my pair arrived in the mail, I haven't taken them off. Not only are they incredibly light (having them on feels like wearing nothing at all), but the Mulberry silk keeps me cool at night — a triumph considering I'm a furnace, even in the winter. This particular silk fiber boasts 18 kinds of amino acids, helping to maintain body temperature, whether you're cold at night or a hot sleeper like me. The shorts contain an elastic waistband that's not tight, complete with a high angled cut that shows off your thighs and butt. Plus, you can feel good about your purchase, since the pajamas have been produced in factories which aim to improve supply chain working conditions.
Shoppers too are obsessed with this set, with one writing, "I was so excited when I saw that Quince released a sleep line. Their silk is so comfortable and soft and I was so excited to get some to sleep in, and it did not disappoint. The cut of the shorts is great, and I love sleeping in this set as it feels like I am wearing nothing."
The pajama set is available in sizes XS-XL and in three colors: black, toasted almond, and ivory. But hurry — now that the silk pajama set is back in stock, it's bound to sell out quickly again.
