As the nights shift from warm and sultry to crisp and cold, a seasonal pajama collection will keep your family comfortable. Stock your pajama drawers with these pajama staples:

1. Flannel Pajamas - Chilly nights are warmed with flannel pajamas for the whole family. Lightweight flannel nighties and nightshirts are great for cool spring and fall nights. To stay toasty through the winter, pair men's, women's, and kid's flannel pajama sets with fleece lined slippers and long cozy robes.

2. Footed Pajamas - Babies and toddlers stay snug in footed pajamas, available in a variety of fabrics. Try flannel in the cooler months and cotton in the summer for year round comfort. To avoid slips and falls, shop for kid's footed pajamas with non-skid foot pads.

3. Silk Pajamas - Don't wait for a special occasion to slip into the luxury of silk nightgowns and pajamas. While the lightness of silk is perfect for warm weather, it can also be soothing when snuggled under a warm down comforter. Wear them whenever you want to feel a little pampered.

4. Lingerie - Silky fabrics and lacy trims set a romantic tone any time of year. With the variety of lingerie available today, every woman can find her own flattering style. Silk or satin robes in coordinating colors are especially nice during the cooler months.

5. Robes - Short or long, flannel or silk, robes add a layer of warmth to your pajamas. Being easy to fit, robes make great gifts, especially for winter holidays. Don't let robes become an overlooked item in your family's pajama collections!
