The best summer pajamas for women do one job brilliantly: they keep you cool. The best pajamas for summer are light, breathable, and barely-there on a warm night — and they still look beautiful. That’s the idea behind Keleigh Teller, the celebrity-founded label built around comfort, beauty, and the feeling of home. Keleigh began designing the collection while creating her dream house; after that home was lost in the Palisades fire, the pieces took on deeper meaning — sleepwear made for slowing down and feeling cared for, even on the stickiest July night. “Cozy meets cute,” as the brand puts it.
Every set below is a short-sleeve, short-pant cut — the silhouette that actually lets body heat escape — in breathable, lightweight fabric, which is exactly what separates great summer pajama sets from the rest. There’s intention down to the names, too: the lines are called after Keleigh’s grandmothers, Rose and Grace. We’ve counted down the 10 best summer pjs for women to our overall #1, the Rose Short Sleeve Set in Meadow Flyer.

How to shop summer pajamas that actually keep you cool (a quick checklist)
- Pick the cut first, fabric second. Short sleeves and shorts will out-cool a long-sleeve set in almost any fabric.
- Prioritize breathable, lightweight fabric. The right fabric moves air and pulls moisture away from your skin instead of trapping heat. Tap “Shop Now” on any pick to see its full fabric and care details on the product page.
- Skip anything tight at the cuff, ankle, or waistband. Elastic that grips traps heat. A relaxed waist is your friend.
- Lean lighter on color. It’s a small effect, but if your room gets morning sun, a pale shade keeps the visual temperature down too.
- Wash how the label says. A gentle cycle with a low or no-heat dry keeps summer pajamas feeling light and soft wash after wash — check each product page for exact care instructions.
About Keleigh Teller
Keleigh Teller’s loungewear line was built around the idea of home — literally. The model and founder (and wife of actor Miles Teller) began designing the collection while creating her dream house, and after that home was lost in the 2025 Pacific Palisades fire, the pieces took on new meaning around comfort, family, and memory. The lines — Rose, Grace, and Leona — are named after her grandmothers. The whole idea, in her words, is “cozy meets cute”: sleepwear beautiful enough to be seen in and comfortable enough to truly live in.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best summer pajamas for women?
The best summer pajamas for women are short-sleeve, short-pant sets in a breathable, lightweight fabric that keeps you cool overnight. Our overall #1 pick is Keleigh Teller’s Rose Short Sleeve Set in Meadow Flyer ($154); the full list above ranks 10 of the best summer pajama sets across both the breezy Rose line and the smoother, dressier Grace line.
What are the best pajamas for summer if you sleep hot?
If you run hot, look for the breeziest cut and the most breathable fabric you can find — that combination is what makes a good pair of summer pjs. Every set on this list is a short-sleeve, short-pant cut, and the seven Rose picks use the brand’s most breathable, lightweight fabric, making them the best pajamas for summer for hot sleepers.
Are short sleeve pajamas better than long sleeve for summer?
For most hot sleepers, yes. Short sleeves and shorts expose more skin so body heat can escape, and the looser cut lets air circulate around the legs. If your bedroom runs cool with AC, a long-sleeve set in the same breathable fabric can still feel summery — but for the warmest months, short sleeve is the easier win.
What fabric are these summer pajamas made of?
Every set lists its full fabric and care details on its own product page — just tap “Shop Now” on any pick above. All of them are designed to be breathable, lightweight, and machine washable for easy summer care.
Will these work for menopause night sweats or postpartum hot flashes?
Many women shop short-sleeve, breathable, lightweight sleepwear specifically for those reasons. We can’t make medical claims, but the short-sleeve cut and breathable, lightweight fabric are exactly the kind of features hot sleepers tend to look for. If you have specific medical concerns, talk to your doctor.
