people who like really soft ngs. this is a cotton model blend, you feel how nice this is going to be on your body. it's the lipstick cropped pj set. and what's interesting, even though it is so comfortable, because it ha tailored cut, it's mens wear inspired, it's cropped on the leg here. it does look a little more chic at home. and if you do want to take these pajamas out, sometimes you want to run and errand, get the newspaper, we love this -- >> you wouldn't go out in this? >> i wouldn't. not that one. move on to this one. this is from the gap. part of their pure body line. again, really, really soft. right. and this is something you could wear out. what we love about this is that it comes in separate. i think the keye is maybe doing a pattern on top and then something solidn the bottom. that makes it feel more like lounge wear instead of pajamas. >> what if you want to have it a little bit more sexy.

i am always cold. >> always cold or hot. these are from l.l. bean, these were picked by the good housekeeping institute from our tech styles lab. they were really durable and warm. this is flan and these are from l.l. bean, $55, affordable, and the reason this flannel keeps you warm is not because it's the warmest fabric, it's brushed surface that keeps air in. you're trappi all that body heat in. >> this is the thing you could just come home, put it on, hang out in the house. >> be super warm. if you're always for the opposite problem. these are from another textiles lab pick because it has a moisture-wicking fabric. so it's -- >> moisture wicking? >> yes. >> like athletics. >> right, it draws the sweat away from your body so it keeps you really cool, and this is not just for women of a certain age. new moms, hoes are crazy or sleeping someon w's next to hot. >> what do you mean women of a certain age. >> night sweats. >> alls.

>> okay. >> off with them. now we're moving on. okay, now we're talking. >> i have this. >> i love this. right. this is -- i do not have this. we're going to get you one. and if you'll feel it, maria, a lot of times women think lingerie you have to care for it by dry cleaning or hand washing, this you can throw in the wash. it's really soft. it comes with a shelved bra. $49. it's a great price point. great color and this if you want something more understated. this is only $19. you can't get a good box of chocolates for under 20 bucks. silky inspired material. i love the piping. again, it's just a little something. >> and it is a huge surge in people wanting to have pajamas, comfy pajamas going out in pajamas. pajamas are big, right? >> they are, they're huge. big. now's a good time, a lot of the winter inventor will be going on sale as we get closer to president's day. >> that's good.
