I always find the changing of seasons to be bittersweet—especially the summer to fall transition. One of my favorite ways to mentally close one season and welcome another is with a new pair of pajamas. I don’t know what it is about them, but a fresh set of fall PJs during this time of year—marking the end of one thing and the beginning of another—puts me in a New Year’s-like mindset.
With all of the life changes happening, such as transitioning back into school mode and saying goodbye to those last days of summer, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what was and making plans for what will be. It’s also an ideal time to give yourself a pat on the back for getting through another season, and to treat yourself to a little luxury.
Of course, there are always more important things to focus our time, money, and attention on than a pajama transition, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find joy in the little things, too. If you’re looking to kick fall off with a clean pajama slate, check out 20+ pairs of our favorite fall PJs below.
