Fashion Math: Are Silk PJs Worth Putting a Dent in Your Purse?

When you go to bed most nights wearing a worn-out T-shirt and boy shorts, splurging on silk pajamas can seem a little extravagant. But not only is silk loungewear incredibly comfortable and non-irritating on sensitive skin, 100 percent silk PJs keep you comfortable in winter, but surprisingly cool in summer. So, are they really so out of reach? Let’s do the Fashion Math:

If you wear these Chi Silk Pajamas ($100) just one night a week for about a year, they will cost just $1.90 a wear. Wear them twice and you’ll cut the cost per wear in half. With these savings you can save up and buy yourself some 500-count Egyptian cotton sheets while you’re at it.
