Drift Off To The Best Sleep Of Your Life With Cozy Earth — I Know I Did

Yawn! Welcome to Sleep Week, a seven-day stretch where we source you the best buys in the Zzz-catching business—from editor-vetted bedtime rituals to exclusive mattress deals and more of the internet’s most slumber-worthy scores. Go ahead, hit snooze with us.

Allow us to open the gateway to luxury sleeping by introducing you to one of our favorite sleep brands: Cozy Earth. The lavish brand offers everything from elevated matching pajamas to super-soft bedding to chic, minimalistic loungewear. If you’re ready to seriously up your sleeping game and dive into the world of luxury, then buckle your seat belts and get ready for the best sleep of your life. After all, a good night’s rest is well worth the investment — and Cozy Earth’s products might just be the easiest way to kickstart your journey to better sleep

Of course, it’s easy to question whether or not investing in admittedly pricey pajamas and bedding is worth it. For the skeptics, I’m here to declare that it 100% is. Not only are Cozy Earth’s products high-quality, they’re made from sustainably-sourced materials like bamboo that’ll last you for years. Even Oprah has her own list of favorites from Cozy Earth. And while I won’t claim to even be worthy of breathing the same air as Oprah, at least our shared love of the Cozy Earth line means I have something in common with the inimitable Ms. Winfrey. Did I mention that Cozy Earth is currently having its biggest semi-annual sale of the year, with 25 to 30% off site-wide? Read on for my Cozy Earth review and find out why this is one bedroom splurge you definitely shouldn’t sleep on.

Cozy Earth Custom Bamboo Pajama Set In Stretch-Knit, $280, $210

Cozy Earth introduced me to my first set of matching sleepwear, and I’ve never been the same since. If you want to feel like you’re at a lavish spa, wearing the soft luxe attire they give you to change into, then you’ll want to invest in Cozy Earth’s Custom Bamboo Pajama Set.

The long sleeve top and pants are made of 95% premium viscose crafted from bamboo, which means they’re durable and resistant to pilling, no matter how often you wear and wash them; the set also maintains its signature stretchiness over time. For hot sleepers, the bamboo-based viscose stretch-knit material has temperature-regulating characteristics, so it’s breathable, and you won’t have to worry about overheating. Meanwhile, the 5% spandex in the fabric delivers an effortless draping silhouette and gives a bit of weight for a cozy, snug feel.

In terms of how the pajamas look, the stylish piping throughout the collar, cuff, and hem of the pants add an elegant touch. I only have the ivory co-ords, but the other pigmented shades, like black and navy, have more noticeable piping. In addition to the brand’s five original hues, two more have been released more recently: a powdery sky blue and delicate lilac. Also, while I adore a matching set, Cozy Earth also allows you to mix and match hues for the top and bottom, so go ahead and live out your wildest color dreams.

Cozy Earth Comforters, $729 $546.75

Before my partner and I got our Cozy Earth Comforter, we relied on a goose down model. Unfortunately, the duvet cover didn’t close properly, so my fiancé and I were perpetually finding feathers littering the floor. Thankfully, we no longer have that issue because our new comforter from Cozy Earth is stuffed with silk, not feathers, giving it lightweight yet cozy comfort (minus the shedding). In fact, the luxury bedding and clothing brand allows you to customize your comforters: you can choose between standard or extra levels of filling; opt for silk or bamboo for the filling itself; and select from twin, full/queen, and king sizes.

The major difference between the silk and bamboo filling is that the former (made from 100% mulberry silk) has a little more heft to it, is moisture-wicking, and features heat-insulating properties. I imagine the experience is akin to the wonders of owning a weighted blanket because I’ve never fallen asleep faster or slept better in my life than I have since using this comforter. It’s designed for cold sleepers who like to stay warm, and as a cold sleeper myself, I wholeheartedly approve.

One thing that surprised me was how thin the comforter was compared to the picture. The product image gave off the impression that it would be extra plushy like my goose-down one; in fact, it was much thinner but still amply warm. Notably, I find it a whole lot easier to slide into my duvet cover than my goose-down comforter, which I had to spend a significant amount of time kneading to keep it flat.

In addition to the silk filling, Cozy Earth also offers one made of 100% bamboo viscose. If you’re more of a hot sleeper, this model is ideal, as it’s much airier and more lightweight than your average comforter.

Cozy Earth Bamboo Duvet Cover, $339 $254.25

I won’t go too far into explaining Cozy Earth’s Bamboo Duvet Cover, but you can think of it as the aforementioned comforters’ lightweight jacket. It’s a glossy, silky-smooth layer that keeps in warmth while remaining cool to the touch. Although you don’t have to buy both the comforter and duvet, I have the magical combo, and it truly does make it feel like I’m drifting off under a cozy cloud night after night.

If you’re ready to level up your pajamas and bedding, head over to Cozy Earth and save up to 30% site-wide during the brand’s semi-annual sale. Sweet dreams!

How To Style A Denim Maxi Skirt, 2023’s Biggest Fashion Trend

No look has marked spring’s fashion landscape more than the denim maxi skirt. One of 2023’s biggest fashion trends and an antidote to the micro-mini of last year, in the last six months, the maxi hemline has taken over runways and consequently street style. Now, it’s landed in stores everywhere, in time for warmer weather.

But just because this denim trend is having a moment right now doesn’t mean that it’s a flash-in-the-pan look that can’t fit into your capsule closet rotation. I have proof: Last week, I set out to wear my new Ganni denim maxi skirt, which I found at Browns during London Fashion Week, with a different look every workday. If you’re still unsure how to style a denim maxi skirt, ahead, five outfits for any occasion.

How To Wear A Denim Maxi Skirt: With A Blazer

Equally perfect for a day at the office as a weekend outing, this look calls for classic items that are likely already in your wardrobe: a white T-shirt and a blazer. Opt for a blazer in a cold-weather fabric, like leather or wool, in cooler months or breezier compositions, like linen and cotton, in the summer.

How To Wear A Denim Maxi Skirt: With A Jean Jacket

If you’re a fan of the denim-on-denim look, pair your maxi skirt with a jean jacket (bonus: if it’s patchwork) or a chambray shirt (mine is an old style from Current/Elliott). To take the outfit further into Western territory, another big trend this year, consider completing it with a pair of cowboy boots.

How To Wear A Denim Maxi Skirt: With A Button-Down

Denim is no longer just for weekends. For an office-appropriate ensemble, style the jean skirt with an oversized white button-down. Jazz up the classic jean-white top combo with statement accessories (think: a colorful shoe and chunky jewelry).

How To Wear A Denim Maxi Skirt: With A Sweatshirt

For a comfortable, running-errands outfit, tuck a sweatshirt (I borrowed my husband’s Lululemon hoodie) into the skirt and pair it with sneakers. To take the look into a lunch meeting after a grocery store run, I traded the trainers for a pair of mid-heeled loafers and a plaid blazer.

How To Wear A Denim Maxi Skirt: With A Leather Jacket

Another classic combo: a maxi skirt with a leather jacket. Opt for a cropped, waist jacket fit to avoid looking boxy. While you can never go wrong with a black moto jacket, consider one in a fun color for an unexpected pop.

PrintFresh Unicorn’s Garden Long Sleep Set


"You’ve probably seen PrintFresh on your Instagram feed and thought, Could these adorable pajamas be worth the splurge? I was once just like you, and, one day feeling bold, ordered perhaps the brand’s best-known print: the Unicorn Garden. Then I ordered another… and another… and finally I ordered a dress because I couldn’t justify ordering another set of PJs. My original unicorn set remains my lodestar, however. Just light enough that you can wear it nearly year-round, the fabric is cooling but plenty soft.

"And, of course, the big draw is the fun prints. The famous unicorn tapestry is one of my favorite things to visit at the Met Cloisters, and I love that I get to wear a medieval-inspired print that still feels so fresh and modern in my own home. I am already on record admitting to sleeping in the buff, but these are the absolute perfect weekend PJs to lounge around in." —Marshall Bright, Affiliate Editor

Richer Poorer Women’s Cotton Modal Boxer Brief


"Although I’ve aways wanted a matching pajama set, it just doesn’t seem realistic for my sleep style. I don't love feeling restricted, but at the same time I hate the feeling of loose fabric riding up my leg and getting tangled around my body. My go-to sleep ‘outfit’ is a pair of these super soft and comfy boxer briefs from Richer Poorer and whatever oversized tee I can find in my dresser — my favorite is the boyfriend T-shirt from Skims.” —Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Strategist

Uniqlo AIRism Cotton Long-Sleeve Pajamas


"I bought these pajamas over lockdown, and they have been a firm sleepwear staple ever since: I wear them so much, I can’t get them laundered and dried fast enough. The AIRism cotton fabric feels soft against the skin but provides just the right amount of warmth while remaining very breathable. I’ve worn it on warmer nights and in the dead of winter, and they have managed to keep me comfy and toasty. This year, Uniqlo has released new navy and pale purple colorways, and I can’t wait to add them to my ever-growing matching PJs arsenal." —Venus Wong, Senior Travel Writer

Bluebella Olin Luxury Satin Long Pajama Set


"Blame Blair Waldorf for my love of silk pajamas. Ever since I watched Gossip Girl in high school, I’ve been chasing the feeling of waking up in a perfect pajama set to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s with my frenemy. This one from Bluebella gives me that exact vibe, thanks to its rich fabric and smooth finish. I also love that the set comes in a wide range of prints and colors that are available seasonally (I have a white version with black stripes) with sizes ranging from XXS to 3XL." —Frances Solá-Santiago, Fashion Writer

Laines London Kimono With Gold Octopus Embellishment


"I’ve never been able to sleep in pajamas, but I also don’t want to be caught au naturel by my neighbors if my house happens to catch fire in the middle of the night. My personal compromise? This adorable robe from Laines London, which not only keeps me comfortably covered (and not constricted) while I inevitably toss and turn while I sleep, but it is also helping me transition into my whimsical coastal grandmother era, if only for a few hours a night." —Sarah Crow, Affiliate Director

Out From Under Drew Seamless Ribbed Bra Top


"I am not a PJ wearer. As a hot sleeper, most nights I’m down to my skivvies and my sheets. Thus, the most important articles of clothing for me during bedtime are comfortable underwear and bralettes with an old oversize T-shirt ofc. My current favorites are Hanes’ Organic Cotton Bikini underwear and Urban Outfitters’ Drew Seamless Ribbed Bra Top.

"The cotton underwear is my guilty pleasure, I affectionately call them my ‘granny panties’ and they provide coverage, comfort, and breathability — but enough said about them. The oh-so-soft bra top is meant for outside wear, but it doesn’t provide enough support for my ladies for outside activities and thus is perfect for feeling like there’s nothing there during bedtime and lounging around my place." —Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator

Eberjey Gisele Long PJ Set


"I've only become excited about matching pajamas this year. I’m a bit late to the coordinating sets game, I know. As the years pass, I've been more attuned with investing in timeless sleepwear, and Eberjey’s Gisele style is one of my favorites. The ultra-soft set drapes gracefully and is like a second skin. Walking around the house in these PJs, you'll fall in love with how comfy they are. Also, as someone who always gets cold, the temperature-regulating benefits for naps and the night are oh so perfect.” —Vivien Lee, Affiliate Fashion Writer

American Trench O.E. Classic Mesh Short


"No, I don’t wear silk pajamas or any variety or matching sets to bed. My go-to is pairing a baggy T-shirt — either stemming from my high school years and/or from concerts —with a pair of shorts. I usually don’t wear pants to bed because I get hot easily, so these American Trench mesh shorts, in particular, have been the perfect easy, breezy solution. The high-waisted and mid-thigh cut is really comfortable and also makes them perfect for lounging around the house." —Victoria Montalti, Associate Affiliate Writer

Mara Hoffman Sela Pajama Set


"As someone who lives in The City That Never Sleeps, I am ironically constantly in pursuit of products that will enhance the quality of my sleep. I rely on high-quality sheets in various fabrics (which I change based on seasons), silk pillowcases and eye masks, and sleepwear, which I don’t hesitate to splurge on once in a while. The latter includes this matching set from one of my favorite sustainable brands Mara Hoffman. Made from organic cotton, these pajamas (that go from XXS to 3X) keep me cool on nights when I run hot and don’t restrict my nighttime movements, thanks to their soft feel and menswear-inspired silhouette." —Irina Grechko, Fashion Director
