AUGUSTINA OLIVE SHORT PJ

The Augustina Olive Short PJ is made from a bamboo and organic cotton blend with a scooped neckline and a seam-free drop sleeve. The shorts have an elastic waist, a self fabric tie and pockets. The Gingerlilly gift box it ships in matches the set inside.

The absence of seams across the shoulder is the thing you notice wearing this. A drop sleeve constructed without a seam removes the ridge that sits under your arm when you sleep on your side, which is a small detail that turns out to matter at three in the morning.

Bamboo blended with organic cotton is cooler against skin than cotton alone and has a slight stretch from the elastane, so the set moves rather than pulling. Pockets in pyjama shorts are more useful than they sound, if only for a phone on the way to the kitchen. Olive is an unusual colour for sleepwear and a welcome one, closer to a considered piece of loungewear than conventional nightwear.
