Look, I understand how easy (and comfortable) it is to slip into our borrowed-from-the-boys oversized sleep shirts and shorts with tired elastic (ahem, you know the ones).
But given that we spend a third of our lifetime sleeping, I reckon it’s about time we embraced the softer side of life as we do the rest—in style.
If, like me, you have finally decided to give your old T-shirts the night—and the ones after—off, know that you can absolutely upgrade your sleepwear style without sacrificing comfort.
Not that I needed an extra reason to stay in bed, but Eberjey pajamas feel easy like Sunday mornings but look classic enough to confidently answer the unexpected doorbell on those WFH days.
As major advocates of the female-founded brand, we at Luxe Digital have added multiple Eberjey’s sleepwear sets to our carefully curated wardrobe. And while each piece reflects the brand’s philosophy—to slow down with comfort and confidence—the Eberjey Gisele pajamas remain our overall best pajamas for women. And in this review of the Gisele TENCEL Modal Relaxed Short PJ Set, you will understand why.

Eberjey Gisele PJ: My hands-on experience
Unboxing: Biodegradable branded beauty
Foregoing excessive packaging, the Eberjey Gisele Pajamas arrived in a branded box, eliminating unnecessary waste without compromising the unboxing delight.

Upon opening, I was greeted with a soft pink interior, embodying the brand’s ethos of embracing life’s softer moments.

Materials & craftsmanship: Embracing our softer side
I can tell that the Eberjey Gisele Pajamas are crafted with superior materials and meticulous attention to detail from the moment they’re unwrapped.

But these pajamas feel cooler and infinitely softer to the touch than I’d expected it to be. The secret lies in the brand’s signature fabric—a buttery soft, plant-based Modal Tencel, derived from repurposed wood pulp.
This OEKO-TEX® certified material not only supports eco-friendly practices but also guarantees that the Eberjey pajamas can withstand gentle machine washing, retaining both their rich color and shape beautifully.

Aesthetic & design: Menswear-inspired, minimalist, and modern
Aptly named after the enchanting Austrian ballet (not the famed supermodel), the Gisele collection embodies the grace and ease of its namesake, translated beautifully to the natural flow and comfortable confidence of wearing Gisele.
The Eberjey Gisele Pajamas elegantly combine the timeless aesthetic of traditional men’s Savile Row pajamas with the modern comfort of soft, stretch jerseys.
Inspired by old-school retro designs, they feature distinctive contrast piping, a button-down style, and an elegant lapel, paying homage to classic sleepwear.
That being said, the contemporary cut is undeniably elevated, offering a relaxed fit that’s both flattering and comfortable.
This sophisticated set blurs the line between sleepwear and loungewear. So much so that we’re no longer embarrassed to open the door for unexpected UPS deliveries.
Colors & variants: Celebrating individualities
The Eberjey Gisele Pajamas come in an array of set configurations to suit any preference, including short PJ sets (as I reviewed here), long PJ sets, cropped PJ sets, and sleep shirts.
Each variant comes in a multitude of colors—from classics like black, white, and baby pink to deliciously tempting like Agave, Raspberry, and Italian Rose.
The sleep set also comes in a range of prints, including tiny triple hearts, oxford stripes, and winter pines.

Comfort, fit & sizing: Tailored for you
Just as its name suggests, the Gisele TENCEL Modal Relaxed Short PJ Set feels, well, relaxed.
The inclusion of a thin (gentle) elastic waistband on the shortie shorts, coupled with a touch of spandex in the fabric, grants the entire set a slightly oversized, forgiving fit.
I found the Eberjey Gisele Pajamas fit true to size, though some might opt to size down for a snugger silhouette. Not me—I love that they’re not tight around the waist.

They’re breathable and lightweight, creating a sensation of weightlessness (if you tend to toss and turn in your sleep, this is a revelation). And they’re the perfect balance between cozy and airy. Crafted from a sustainable modal and spandex blend, the buttery smooth material glides delicately over my skin while I doze off into dreamland.
Care & maintenance
Caring for the Eberjey Gisele Pajamas is pretty straightforward and ensures that they remain soft and vibrant over time. Machine wash them on a gentle, cold cycle with similar colors and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and ironing to maintain the fabric’s integrity and color.

Price
While priced slightly higher than many alternatives, Eberjey Gisele Pajamas’ durability, unparalleled comfort, and timeless design ensure a low cost per wear, making them a worthwhile investment.
Priced at $118, the short Gisele set is the most affordable. While the long rib Gisele set is the most costly, priced at $168.
Who is it best for: Self-care warriors
Amongst the brand’s many famous fans are Meghan Markle, Kylie Jenner, and JLo—all of whom seem to love Eberjey Gisele pajamas as much as we do.
The Eberjey Gisele Pajamas are perfect for hot sleepers, thanks to their ultralight, breathable fabrics. This also makes them the ideal choice for trips to warmer climates—or if, like me, you prefer sunshine all year round.
Additionally, the option to personalize with a monogram makes them the PJs of dreams or a sentimental gift for someone special.
Final thoughts: Sustainable, soft, and stylish
We won’t stop raving about these Eberjey pajamas for a very long time. It’s so hard to find a pair that we feel confident and attractive in but that is as comfortable as that over-worn, oversized tee. The Gisele pajamas hit this elusive sweet spot and makes it look easy. The sleep set is softer than anything else I’ve tried. And I love that they’re also a more sustainable sleepwear option.
Where to buy Eberjey?
Selective Eberjey pajamas are accessible on reputable e-retailers, such as Amazon and Net-a-Porter. However, for the most comprehensive selection, we recommend purchasing directly from the Eberjey’s official website. Here, you’ll find the full range of styles, colors, as well as limited edition exclusive options.
Eberjey alternatives
Skin Cayla
We found the Skin Cayla pajama set to be a worthy opponent to the Eberjey Gisele, particularly for those valuing organic and sustainable materials.
Made from organic Pima cotton, the Skin Cayla set offers an eco-friendly option that does not compromise on softness or comfort. While both pajama sets share a minimalist and elegant design ethos, the Skin Cayla’s organic cotton provides a different tactile experience compared to Eberjey’s Modal Tencel blend. Skin’s set isn’t quite as soft.
Both sets are machine washable and feature elastic waistbands for comfort. Price-wise, Skin is slightly more expensive.
Desmond & Dempsey
The Desmond & Dempsey organic cotton pajama set presents an attractive alternative to the Eberjey Gisele pajamas, especially for those who appreciate bold prints.
While both brands emphasize comfort and style, Desmond & Dempsey sets itself apart with vibrant, hand-painted prints and a focus on organic cotton. The organic cotton used is sustainable and soft, although the feel is slightly different from Eberjey’s Modal Tencel blend, with a more traditional cotton texture.
Both pajamas are machine washable with gentle elastic waistbands for a comfortable, forgiving fit, but Desmond & Dempsey is slightly more expensive.
