You know how most bridesmaid pajamas are cute for a photo op but never see the light of day again? Yeah… your girls deserve better. If you’re looking for bridesmaid PJs that don’t scream bridesmaid and actually look cool, comfy, and wedding-weekend chic, it’s time to meet your new obsession: sweatsuits.
These aren’t just pajamas. They’re a vibe. A matching, cozy, we look put-together without even trying vibe. And the best part? Your bridesmaids will live in these sweatsuits long after the wedding, which makes them the ultimate gift that doesn’t get shoved in the back of a drawer. (Yassssss!)
This post was inspired by an Ask Emmaline question from bride-to-be, Peyton, who asks,
“Hi Emmaline! I’m looking for getting ready outfits for my bridal party that aren’t the standard satin personalized PJs. Do you have any suggestions for bridesmaid pjs that don’t look like pjs? Thanks so much!”
Great question, Peyton! You’re in luck because we discovered the cuuuutest finds and your besties are going to love them (and so will you!)
Why Brides Are Ditching Pajamas for Sweatsuits
- They don’t look like PJs: More like airport chic meets wedding morning glam.
- Instagram-worthy: Perfect for those getting-ready photos, minus the cheesy vibes.
- Wear again appeal: From brunch to errands to Netflix marathons, they’ll actually wear these.
- Customizable: These shops let you personalize them with names, initials, or bridal party titles. Or take it one up: you can SKIP personalization and order it blank, so everyone looks uniform (and they’ll maybe get more use out of them).
- Comfort level: elite: Soft, breathable, and perfect for a long day of wedding prep.
