For years, designer and model Olatz Schnabel attended everything from museum openings to film premieres with her then-husband, the artist Julian Schnabel, who wore his signature pajamas. It inspired her to create an eponymous line of PJs that are light and comfortable, yet durable and attractive enough to wear in a variety of situations. That expanded to robes, shirts, slips, and bedding made in the U.S. from 100% high-grade silk. Almost all Olatz items—for men and women—are made to order, with a painstaking attention to detail. The brand has won fans from Kim Kardashian to Heidi Klum.
• The $120 Gisele pajamas from direct-to-consumer brand Eberjey have a similar piped design and tailored fit. The stretchy jersey material is extremely comfortable—but less elegant.
