Presentable Sleepwear: Why You Should Wear It + Essential Styles

Natori doesn’t hold up well though, I bought a set and to me they were pricey and I had to get rid of them after only one year. Bad quality. Lots of pilling.

I saved this video and I have viewed the recommendations and video several times 🙂 I purged the hideous and unflattering items I was wearing after reading your first book but I typically do not spend money on my night time clothing. Now I have a newborn and I’m nursing through the night and I was in need of something to wear around the house late into the evening when i am up with the baby. This video inspired me to invest in a beautiful velvet blue long robe. It modestly covers my sleepwear for my mother-in-law and kids and is flattering so that I feel great around my husband. And as an amazing benefit, it feels like a royal gown. Thank you for the continued inspiration Jennifer. I am a big fan of you and your work.

This was a fun topic. I saw Nikki do something similar. Great ideas and advice.

love your videos. . . so refreshing. . .

I really enjoyed this video and topic. I thought it was only I that collected sleepwear. A long time ago I saw an actress on my soap opera wearing a long starched white flowy nightgown so I searched everywhere until I found one. I still have it and wear it. I change my sleepwear and housecoats according to the seasons. I read a book, I don't recall the title or author, but she is from the southern states and was telling about southern belle styles. Also, describing the differences between southern belle and northern style. I guess I'm from way up north, Ontario, Canada. I could tell she was explaining my style as being northern and I really like the southern styles. Anyways she mentioned that a southern belle always dressed feminine and preferred pretty items and nice colours. She stated that a southern belle would only wear something pretty for sleeping. I liked that idea. So away went my old ugly practical sleepwear items I I went shopping for pretty sleepwear. So that is the only type of sleepwear I now own. Great topic.

My mum says that she saves nice sleepwear for when she has to go to the hospital…
This kind of things are said by older people, but she is only 60…
Luckily it has just happened once, but instead of wearing a. Nice set she wore gym clothes🙄
My goodness!
Then, I've realized that I do the same but instead of saving them for the hospital I save them for when I sleep at someone else's house… Which means I never wear them too 🙄😂

Im due to have my first baby any day now. In my first week of maternity leave I went out and purchased a few nice sets of button down pjamas. Perfect for feeding baby and feeling more put together. Will be especially great for the days that I isolate myself at home to nap and cuddle bub all day! (Although i do intend to get dressed most days 🙂 ) x

I have never really thought about this before. I like it. Thank you!

Wow Jason Donovan what a blast from the past 😂!! Love your message always 💯👌

I would love hearing more on sleepwear etc.

Jen
I live at the east coast of the United States and tend to get very cold during my sleep. I wear something like a sweatshirt as my sleepwear, almost 10 months in an year. Can u share some suggestions for the weather like this. What do women who live in colder places, generally wear to sleep?

I love to wear realy trendy and cute sleep wear but it HAS to look youthful…. i always get cute PJs and pair them with cute Tees or a cute nightie w comfy cotton tights…. just youthful and trendy…. nothing too much

I don't wear nightwear. I buy nice comfortable, usually maxi length, dresses that define my bust line and my 'bathrobe' is a scarf and/or cardigan. I can answer the door without a single cringe.

my favorite pyjamas were my mom used to make cotton nightgowns and robes – ala Laura Ashley in the 80s. now adays I tend to buy from Soma – I wear them more for lounging – but it is so nice to feel like you have pretty things and USE them. I love your content for that encouragement. kindred spirits.

This video is so up my alley! I hate wearing any kind of pants when sleeping & am all about the dress life💕 thanks for the suggestions!

I live in Central FL + I suffer from hot flashes. For the summer (10 mts out of the year) I love cotton "sleep boxers" and combine them with matching cotton tanks. For colder nights I have long cotton PJ pants with matching t-shirts. I make the bottoms myself, that way they are custom fit and I can select fabrics and prints I like. T-shirts and tanks are store-bought, all in solid colors. I have a long sleeve black robe and several "bedtime cardigans" for layering.

I like wearing more classy things, because that is what I feel best in, but I also don't think that there is anything wrong with people who feel most comfortable in leggings and tee shirts.

I respect that you were able to take a 6-month abroad experience and turn it into a bestselling book. I lived with a French woman in her fifties for about two weeks, just outside Paris, and she first presented herself in a giant sports American tee, but had accented it with a red scarf and bold red lip. I think what you miss in your series is that the French women can also be highly artistic. It’s not just about classic timeless pieces. Her look was always slightly bizarre, fascinating yet chic. She was a former actress and professional tightrope walker – for real! Another thing that impressed me, which will make sense to you, is that she produced amazing meals from what seemed to me a bare cupboard. The fish would be delivered, she’d pick up some bread from around the corner, some veggies from her garden, and voila, an amazing meal would be produced! She never snacked and frowned on me when she caught me trying to make a cup of tea apart from breakfast time. I’ll forever be grateful for what she showed me about French life.

Your sleep wears are beautiful ! If we only have beautiful sets of course we will alway look good at night.
I can’t wait to have children and see them too in beautiful pyjamas. We see too many children dressed like a mess to go to sleep. Cyrillus is an amazing French brand for the whole family.

Like the sleepshirt

*Fewer people dress up. Sorry my mother’s grammar lessons are drilled into my head. Fewer=plural less=singular 😊

You would approve of my collection of pajamas and pegnoirs that I change into in the evenings. I prefer to sleep in the nude but my Peg Bundy cheetah fleece robe is at the foot of my bed in the event of an emergency.

It is nice to have the robes that come with the sets and if you keep them neutral I guess you could mix & match. It's nice to have a robe if you need to take out the trash you can at least be modest for the neighbors.
