Eberjey Vs. Cozy Earth: Which Pajamas Are ‘Cooler'? We Tested Both
My body temperature fluctuates a lot at night: I'm both hot and cold at various times. For me, pajamas that I can layer provide the right balance. For that reason, I tried Cozy Earth's midweight t-shirt and bamboo shorts paired with the brand's French terry pullover, the idea being that I can mix and match these separates for sleeping and also wearing around the house at night and in the early chilly mornings.
The t-shirt is made from 100% cotton fabric, which has a soft, brushed feel. I'd consider this a classic t-shirt you can wear day or night, and it's great if you're not prone to night sweats. I tended to get a little overheated during the hottest part of the night, so it wasn't my favorite for sleeping, but it was very comfortable for lounging.
To stay cooler, I ditched the t-shirt. Instead, I just wore the StudioLite Crewneck on its own: It's made from French terry and has deep side vents to encourage natural airflow and breathability. I loved the cool-to-the-touch fabric, but the side vents made the fit too loose, which meant this top rode up and didn't stay put during the night. Again, it was super comfortable for hanging out in the morning and before bed—just not for actual sleeping.
The Brushed Bamboo Shorts were a total home run. They're made from bamboo viscose, which Cozy Earth says is responsibly sourced and temperature regulating, and wicks moisture while you sleep. The shorts have pockets—a must for convenience—and the brushed texture is super smooth and midweight. I slept coolly and comfortably all night in these and could easily wear them for workouts and travel, too.
I enlisted the help of my teenage daughter to try Eberjey's Gisele Tencel Modal Relaxed Short PJ Set. Her body temperature is completely different than mine: She runs hot all night and often needs the air conditioning pumping at full blast, even in the dead of winter. Steamy, humid weather is unbearable. She's also a teenager and, naturally, picky about fashion, including her sleepwear.
In our guide to the best pajamas for women, Eberjey's Gisele came out on top as the best cooling option—and it continues to prove why. This set is made from Tencel modal, which doesn't trap heat the way synthetic fabrics can and, instead, encourages airflow. Modal also pulls moisture away from the skin better than cotton and has a smooth, silky-cool texture. The design drapes well and doesn't cling to your body either, another plus for hot sleepers out there.
In terms of style, the Gisele definitely stands out for its chic piping, button front and notched collar. This set gives a luxury-lingerie vibe. The fabric is intentionally thin, though, which means the lighter colors can be a bit transparent. Another drawback: no pockets on the shorts. This would drive me crazy, since I like to rest my hands in my pockets while lounging, but it didn't bother my daughter. Most importantly, she slept comfortably and did not wake up drenched in a pool of sweat. That's a win.
After comparing both types of pajamas for those with different body-temperature needs, Eberjey's emerged as the best cooling set overall. If your temperature fluctuates during the night, Cozy Earth's separates are the best option for layering. The price is relatively similar between the two brands, though Cozy Earth tends to offer more sales and discounts from what I've observed. Both pajamas are stylish, but Eberjey's set has elevated details like piping and pearly white buttons, whereas Cozy Earth's is, as the name implies, cozy and laid-back. If you want pajamas that function more like all-day loungewear, Cozy Earth is the way to go.

'I like being gross': Joey Chestnut on the pain and weird joy of hot dog eating contests
Competitive eater Joey Chestnut is making his triumphant return to Coney Island this Fourth of July for the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, a year after he was banned for having a sponsorship deal with Impossible Foods. As told to Yahoo's Meredith Begley, the 41-year-old Major League Eating champion — on the brink of his 20th Nathan's appearance — opens up about training, recovery and overordering at restaurants. I remember when [Takeru] Kobayashi won in 2001. I was at home at my parents' house, and my little brother said, 'You could eat 50 hot dogs.' And I was like, Yeah, but I don't think I want to. I was always the biggest eater in the family. It was something I was self-conscious about. My mom would get mad at me if I ate really fast and didn't leave any for anybody else. In college, my friends signed me up for my first contest. It was lobster. My whole life, I had been self-conscious about eating fast in front of people, and then [here] people are cheering you on. I loved every bit of it. I started a little late this year, in mid-May. I hadn't eaten a Nathan's hot dog in more than a year, so it took me a little bit of time to get back in the saddle. The natural casing is a little more work on the jaws. For practices, I stop eating for about a day and a half — almost no solid food. I make sure I go in empty and loose. I do a bunch of burping and stretching exercises to make sure my whole core is ready. Before Nathan's, I like to do eight or nine [practices]. It gets more and more intense toward the end. Some practices take longer to recover from, especially if I'm doing it outside and it's hot. Warm water is definitely important, but you don't want it too warm if it's hot outside. The warm water gets into the bun and helps your muscles in your throat and stomach relax. You just want to keep everything going down. But really, it's just eating. Sometimes I find myself overthinking it. There's not that many steps: Put it in my mouth, chew it, swallow it, breathe. The breathing is one thing that a lot of people forget to do. They end up holding their breath and then get winded. Some people overstuff their mouth. They just got to remember to swallow. So if I overcomplicate it [or] worry about the cups of water ... all those things help a little bit, but the real basics are breathe, eat, chew and swallow. I go in knowing that I have to be comfortable being uncomfortable. If I feel full, I'm not really full. If I feel tired, everybody goes through it. The whole thing about competitive eating is going against these feelings. I go in knowing that three hours after the contest, I'm going to be super-bloated and miserable. It's like [how] some people like running a marathon, even though they look absolutely miserable. I could never do that. But being bloated, it's uncomfortable but I enjoy it — especially after I win and I'm sweaty. I like being gross. It's so weird. My biggest worry is if it's super-hot outside and I'm dehydrated. Then my body just is not cooperating. Walks and sleep. Sleep is the most important. That night, I'll try to eat salad or yogurt. Then the next day, even though I'm not hungry, I'm trying to eat fiber: cucumber, simple salads, lemon water. Lots of liquid. I try to stay away from carbs or sugar. I'm usually back on the hot dog wagon in, like, four or five days. I eat a lot of salad. I'm an iceberg and romaine lettuce person. Arugula and spring mix — you can't poke those two with your fork. I get cravings for good seafood a lot. My body digests seafood so well. Roasted radishes are really, really good. They're almost like potatoes, but they're very low-carb. [But] cooking stresses me out. I really love to eat. If it's a weekend and I've been eating clean all week, I'm due to order four entrées. I pretend like, 'Oh, we're going to try this and take it home.' The thing about competitive eating is everybody can kind of relate to it. Everybody has a food that they love, and everybody has stories about food where they feel like they dominated it. I kind of like it when people tell me that they can eat. It's like I'm not the weirdo. I think I'm always going to be a competitive eater. As long as my organs are working and I get my blood work done, I'm going to keep doing it. But I'll be fine when the day comes and I'm not competing on the Fourth of July. But if I'm able to, I might as well, because I love it.

The Spring 2026 Menswear Trends? Sarongs, Boho Tops, Short-Shorts, and—Yes—Flip-Flops
So. Many. Toes. Unless you're new here, you know that the spring 2026 menswear collections offered up flip-flops galore. We should have known when pastel thong sandals hit the Prada runway in Milan that fashion had found its new It-shoe. It was certainly undeniable after the Paris collections, where they were seen at Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Lemaire, and menswear fan-favorite Auralee. But the rise of foot cleavage was far from the only headline at the men's shows. Jonathan Anderson's debut at Dior sparked much conversation, even before it happened. Would it still be called Dior Men or just Dior, sans 'men'? Who actually got one of the 600 golden tickets to attend? (Shows like this one make the fashion hierarchy painfully evident, which we all like to discuss ad nauseum.) And, of course, what would it look like? Unequivocally Anderson-esque, as it turns out, from his own interpretation of the Bar jacket, which he paired with 16-meter pannier cargo shorts all the way down to the utterly wearable—and buyable—ready-to-wear. For those who expected an esoteric, concept-driven opening statement, it was the opposite: a how-to-get-dressed tutorial for men featuring an entirely new, yet familiar formula of formality: tuxedo shirts and jeans, cravats without shirts, and loosened ties. 'For me, style is how you put things together,' Anderson told Sarah Mower. 'Over the next period, that's what I want to work on.' What we didn't foresee was just how American the whole thing looked. In fact, the boy next door was a key motif this season, Dior to Paul Smith to (yes) Hed Mayner. Julian Klausner's debut men's collection for Dries Van Noten was also on everyone's lips. It was the designer's first shot at menswear ever, which makes this proposition all the more impressive. On top of those wonderful, and very Dries-y, sarongs—every inch as sexy as that photo of Matthew McConaughey the internet is obsessed with—Klausner proposed tiny shorts, biker shorts, and boxer shorts to wear with jersey cummerbunds and the most beautifully zesty coats. The thigh is the erogenous zone of the season: hemlines were higher than ever at Wales Bonner, Magliano, and Prada, who did actual bloomers. Sex does sell in menswear, it just needs to be truly sexy. Or kooky, like the many nip slips that winked on the runways, from Rick Owens to Saul Nash.

I'm an American Writer in Paris, and No One Will Know These 12 Chic Pieces Are From Amazon's Fashion Outlet
Growing up in Florida, I quickly mastered the art of outlet shopping. I'd road trip to Orlando in college for a weekend of browsing the racks of heavily discounted designer wares, curating a wardrobe that I couldn't even come close to affording if I shopped full price. Flash forward to the era of Amazon, and I no longer need to travel to snag deals—I can simply scroll on my morning commute on the métro in Paris, where I now live. To complete my summer looks, I'm eyeing the many wardrobe essentials on sale in the Amazon Outlet Store. I've lived in France for over a decade and spend most of my summers in the south around the French Riviera, where I learned that day-to-night ensembles are the norm. Often, long days à la plage meld into evening apéro drinks and late dinners on a terrace, leaving little time to change in between—which isn't necessary unless you're heading to one of the Riviera's haute casinos like Palm Beach in Cannes or a swanky Michelin-starred meal like Mauro Colagreco's Mirazur in Menton. Whether you're heading off to Saint-Tropez this summer or you just want to look like you are, these are the best Amazon fashion finds from the retailer's outlet store to dress the part. From strappy leather sandals to a stylish, breezy romper, here's what to shop for a French fashion-inspired summer wardrobe. A romper is my ideal day-to-night ensemble while traveling to coastal locales. This striped version at Amazon is flattering with its strapless ruffle top and soft, lightweight fabric, so you won't have to worry about it wrinkling or sticking to your skin. To dress it up for an evening out, all you need is a pair of wedges or chunky heels, gold bangles, and a clutch, and you're ready for dinner and drinks. It also looks great layered with a leather or denim jacket if you're staying on a breezy island like Crete or Santorini, and it pairs nicely with sneakers for a day of sightseeing. It seems like every major designer has modernized the classic Spanish espadrille and added a haute spin—and a price tag to match. Pop into any shop in Nice's Old Town and you'll find something similar for much, much less. What I love about this slip-on pair at Amazon is that it adds a sneaker-like twist to the staple. The suede leather heel pad and flexible knit upper ensure that they're comfortable and breathable, yet they look elevated enough to pair with a midi skirt and strapless top for dinner or a blousy linen dress during the day. I know these will be a permanent fixture in my travel tote when I'm visiting Provence or the Tuscan coast. As soon as temperatures rise above 80 degrees, I'm trading out jeans for anything lightweight and loose. Some wide-leg pants can look more like loungewear than something you could don in the evening somewhere like Cannes or Saint-Tropez, but this elevated pair looks expensive and stylish—and is only $20. I'm a huge fan of rich, earthy shades in summer, and this mustard yellow would pair beautifully with everything from a simple white tank or halter top to a breezy linen off-the-shoulder cropped blouse. It could even double as beachwear over a bikini bottom when you're ready for lunch at a club in Saint-Tropez like Byblos Beach. Paris was experiencing weekend heat waves weeks before summer even started. As I'm writing this, friends are trying to check into hotels to escape their apartments (air-conditioning is a true luxury—and rarity—in the city) and the 95-degree heat. I'm all about comfort, especially when it's sweltering outside, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style. This flattering strapless tank is an elevated version of the classic, '90s-era tube top. One of the best summer staples, this is a piece that I'll be wearing all season long, paired with structured white shorts, a midi skirt, or with jean shorts for a casual day by the beach in the South of France. While traveling, I'll often try to squeeze in a morning workout like Pilates or yoga in my hotel room before a day of exploring. Loungewear, like these breathable cotton shorts, is something I can wear to bed, around my room or villa, or while working out. Even better, they're structured enough to pair with a casual white tee or tank for strolling around town in Nice or over a bikini at the beach. When Europe reaches those record highs this summer, these shorts are what I'll immediately be throwing on for a look that's comfortable yet pulled together. I use summer as my excuse to get out of my Parisian 'uniform' of black and other neutrals to embrace brighter shades. I love a deep pumpkin color—especially for dresses — and I was shocked when I saw the super low price of this breezy summer maxi dress. I tend to struggle with shoulder straps, but since these are adjustable, there's no need to worry about getting them tailored to your frame. And with more than 1,200 shoppers giving this dress five stars due to its 'super comfortable' and 'good quality fabric,' I was instantly sold. One reviewer even added, 'I want this in every color for every day of the week or event.' I completely agree. I'm heading to Greece for nearly two weeks in late July, and I've been searching for the perfect pair of strappy leather sandals that look as authentic as what you'd find in Athens but are comfortable enough to stroll the city's winding cobbled streets and dusty Acropolis in the height of summer heat. This Amazon Essentials pair checks all the boxes: the high-quality faux leather and suede are similar to the real deal, and the adjustable ankle strap and padded insole with latex foam ensure all-day comfort. The style may seem simple, but that's the point—they can take you from a day at the beach in Paros to dinner in town that night; all you need to change out of is your bikini. In summer, a tote is a much more practical option than a traditional purse, especially when you're in a beach destination. This crochet bag is easy to fold and pack in a suitcase or throw inside a large travel bag, yet it's spacious enough to hold a Kindle or iPad, plus your daily essentials like sunglasses and sunscreen. You can even throw in a Turkish towel for a day at a beach club or fresh fromage and charcuterie after a morning at the market in a chic French Riviera town like Antibes. I'm about to travel for the next two weeks in the South of France with only a carry-on, so everything I'm bringing has to be versatile for easy mixing and matching (and no one will guess I'm repeating looks). A swimsuit is a must, of course, but this one-piece easily doubles as a bodysuit when worn with a pleated midi skirt or high-waisted linen shorts. I love the tummy control aspect, and the adjustable shoulder straps make the suit feel like it practically molds to your figure. White is always chic in summer, but this style also comes in playful shades like hot pink and neon mint—both of which would look stylish with breezy beige linen pants and strappy tan leather sandals or raffia wedges. I never travel without a silky scarf, since it's one of the most versatile accessories you could pack. This pashmina-like oversized wrap can be worn as a sarong on the beach or a full cover-up over a bathing suit at lunch. Nothing looks more stylish than a scarf converted into a headband or headwrap, and this vibrant pattern could easily be mistaken for a designer version from the likes of Versace. And when you're flying back home, it serves as the perfect shawl or blanket on the plane. Traveling with jewelry is always risky, and you don't want to waste some of your precious vacation time at a police station filing a report for lost or stolen jewelry. Leave the heirlooms and pricey pieces at home. Instead, sport a vintage-inspired watch similar to Cartier's iconic Panthère like this one, which is crafted from stainless steel and has a gorgeous gold finish that looks more like jewelry than a traditional timepiece. This style is sophisticated and dainty, so you can stack it with bangles or other summer jewelry for a look that's chic while still being practical since it's waterproof, making it perfect for beach days. Sunglasses are the first item I add to my packing list, especially in summer in Europe when it doesn't start getting dark until after 9 or 10 p.m. While traditional cat-eye shades can look a bit dated—despite being Grace Kelly's go-to shape in the 1950s—a thicker oval style instantly feels modern. Designers like Celine have popularized this shape, but you can capture the same look for just $14 with these shades from Amazon's Outlet—and get a two-for-one deal, mixing and matching for different moments throughout vacation. 'I am obsessed with these glasses,' says one shopper. 'The shape is very trend, and it's an amazing value! Can't beat these.' Love a great deal?
