Gwyneth Paltrow has shared the most stylish solution for keeping cool at nighttime, with her lightweight cotton pyjama shorts and floating cami top being the perfect summer nightwear. 

Getting to sleep at night can be difficult even when the heat isn't working to make you as uncomfortable as possible. Then, when summer rolls around, we're left wondering how to keep a bedroom cool and how to sleep in the heat as we roll around begging for a break in temperature. 

But before you splash out on a cooling mattress simply for the warmer months, Gwyneth Paltrow has given us the solution to keeping cool at nighttime - and proved you can look impossibly chic even when choosing practical pyjamas. 

Posting a video to Instagram, the actress showed off her culinary skills as she made herself pancakes for breakfast, yawning and stretching in a stunning white pyjama set. 

The high-waisted shorts, with a comfortable elasticated waist, hung loosely from her legs, avoiding any material sticking to sweating skin and sucking in heat. The floating cami top with super thin straps looks like the perfect heat-busting piece for hot summer nights and even sunnier mornings, with the lightweight cotton fabric allowing body heat to escape easily and keeping the wearer cool.
