Matching Christmas pajamas are easiest when you start with the print, not the person. Most of our holiday prints come in women's, men's and kids' sets, and five extend to the dog. Choose one print everyone loves, then give each person the cut they will actually sleep in.
Most printed sets in the holiday pajama collection share one fabric: 95% LENZING™ TENCEL™ Modal and 5% elastane, the buttery soft, temperature-regulating knit behind our Gisele pajamas. That shared fabric is what makes a match feel like a match. The print lines up, and so does the way it drapes and moves. Below, a print-by-print map of who can wear what, then a pairing-by-pairing guide.

How do you choose matching Christmas pajamas for each pairing?
The right set depends on who is matching, how warm they sleep and how much of the look you want to share. Here is how we would approach the most common pairings.
Couples
For a classic his-and-hers look, pair the Gisele Long PJ Set with the William Long PJ Set in the same print. William was inspired by our best-selling women's pajamas and made to match back to Gisele, so the two sets read as one look in the same print.
If he prefers something less traditional, the Henry Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set comes in Santa Paws, Hollyberry and Winter Pine. Henry has a relaxed Henley top with buttons at the neckline and a pant with an adjustable drawstring, faux fly and functional pockets. Same print, a more casual shape.
For couples who want Washable Silk, Santa Paws and Harlequin both come in the Inez Washable Silk Printed Long PJ Set and the Charles Washable Silk Printed Long PJ Set, each $298. Both are 100% mulberry silk and machine washable.
Parent and child
The Kids Printed TENCEL™ Modal Unisex Long PJ Set comes in ten holiday prints, every print the Gisele Long PJ Set comes in, so a parent-and-child match is possible in almost any print you choose. It has a long-sleeve crew neck top and cuffed pants with an elastic waistband, made to match back to Gisele.
Mini Bow is a sweet choice for a parent and little one, since it comes in the Gisele Long, the Gisele Shortie and the kids' set. For a father and child, look to any print with a William or Henry option.
The whole family
When everyone is in, choose from the five prints that run from adult sizes to the pet PJ. Our family pajamas collection gathers them in one place. Let each adult choose a silhouette: the Gisele Long for the classic shape, the Shortie or Relaxed Short for warmer sleepers, the Crewneck for a snug, cuffed fit.
A family photo reads as matching when the print is the same, even when the shapes are not. That freedom tends to make the tradition easier to keep.
With the dog
The Gisele Printed TENCEL™ Modal Pet PJ is $58 and comes in Santa Paws, Hollyberry, Winter Pine, Duo Stripe Holly Red and Twinkling Menorah. It is fitted, with short sleeves, a button-down front, notch collar, chest pocket and contrast piping throughout, in the same buttery soft TENCEL™ Modal as your own set.
Sizes run Small to XX-Large by weight, from about 8 pounds for a Small to about 45 pounds for an XX-Large. The pet PJ size guide lists the weight and chest measurement for each size, so measure before you order.
Identical or coordinating: which look suits your family?
There are two ways to approach matching holiday pajamas, and both photograph well. The choice comes down to how much individuality each person wants.
Identical means one print and, wherever possible, one cut. Everyone in the Gisele Long or William Long in Winter Pine, the kids in their long set, the dog in the pet PJ. It is the most graphic option, and the easiest to plan.
Coordinating means one shared element with room to vary. A few approaches we like:
- Same print, different cuts. One adult in the Hollyberry Gisele Shortie, another in the Hollyberry Henry, the kids in their long sets.
- Print plus solid. Hollyberry with our Holly Red solids, or Winter Pine with the Pine solids. A good option for anyone who prefers to skip a print.
- Two prints, one palette. Duo Stripe Holly Red with Winter Skating, or Cabin Check with Duo Stripe Pine. Each pair shares a color family, so they sit comfortably side by side.
| Approach | Best for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Identical | Family photos, small children, a strong single look | Check that every person's style comes in that print |
| Same print, different cuts | Mixed sleep temperatures and preferences | Keep the print consistent so the match still reads |
| Print plus solid | Partners who prefer solids | Stay within one color family |
| Two prints, one palette | Larger groups, extended family | Limit it to two prints |
How do you get the sizing right for everyone?
Sizing is where matching plans tend to go wrong, so give it a few minutes before you check out.
Women's sets run XX-Small to XX-Large in the Gisele Long and Relaxed Short. The Shortie and Crewneck run XX-Small to X-Large, and the Cami & Pant and Long Sleeve & Shortie Short run X-Small to X-Large. Inez Washable Silk printed sets run X-Small to X-Large.
Men's sets run XX-Small to XX-Large in William and Henry. Charles Washable Silk runs X-Small to X-Large.
Kids' sets come in sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 and are sized by weight, from up to 30 pounds for a size 2 to 66 to 75 pounds for a size 10. They are a snug fit by design, so go by the weight chart rather than age.
Pet PJs run Small to XX-Large by weight and chest measurement.
Matching Christmas pajamas only work if everyone is comfortable, so fit matters as much as print. If one person in your group sits at the edge of a size range, check the style before the print. The Shortie and Crewneck stop at X-Large, while the Gisele Long, Relaxed Short, William and Henry go to XX-Large.

Frequently asked questions
Can we wear different pajama styles and still match?
Yes. The print carries the match, so one person can wear the Gisele Long, another the Shortie, and a third the Henry. Check the table above to confirm each style comes in your print.
Are the kids' sets the same fabric as the adult sets?
Yes. The Kids Printed TENCEL™ Modal Unisex Long PJ Set is made from TENCEL™ Modal and a touch of elastane, like the Gisele and William sets, and is verified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. It is designed as a snug fit, so size by the weight chart.
Can matching pajamas be monogrammed?
Personalization is available on select styles, including the Gisele Long, Shortie and Relaxed Short printed sets, the William Long PJ Set and the Inez Washable Silk printed sets. A monogram is $15. Monogrammed orders take 7 to 10 business days to process before they ship.
How should I wash TENCEL™ Modal pajamas?
Turn them inside out and machine wash cold with like colors on gentle, then tumble dry low. Use non-chlorine bleach only, and a warm iron if needed.
Will the holiday prints be available all season?
Holiday prints are seasonal, and sizes can vary by print and style. If you are matching a larger group, shop early for the best size selection.
