Marchesa | Piped Short Sleeve Silk Pajama Set for Warm Weather Sleeping

Silk moves moisture away from the skin and releases it into the air faster than cotton reabsorbs it, which is the reason this short set works for someone who wakes up warm. Less fabric than the long-sleeve version and a fibre that does not hold damp against the body is a straightforward answer to a hot bedroom.

The top carries the same contrast corded piping as the long-sleeve set, worked into the collar, the placket and the sleeve opening. Because the cord is caught in the seam, the sleeve hem keeps a defined edge rather than curling upward after washing, which is the usual failure point on a short-sleeve silk top.

The short sits on a covered elastic waistband with no drawstring, so nothing knots or presses in when you turn over. The set is machine washable on a cold delicate cycle and hang-dries in a few hours, which makes it practical to own one set rather than three.
