I especially like plaid. I have to have calf coverage.</p> <p>In summer, I prefer nightshirts... You know, like a shirt that is tunic length or a t'shirt ditto? And I need a cotton sheet to cover my calves at that point. And yes, there must be sleeves, ideally below the elbow.</p> <p>These are my preferences. But I often end up in a kaftan or the dreaded 'nightie' because this is where the last of budget allocation goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices/page/2#post-1241494 Sun, 04 May 2014 15:57:42 +0000 Karina 1241494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread is great; I've been wanting to update my sleepwear. I like to get up early and take my mornings slow, including reading, gardening, exercise and breakfast before I shower and get ready for the day. I feel most comfortable in a cami with shelf bra and either cotton shorts or yoga pants, both for sleeping and lounging. I have three sons who are getting older, so the cute/sexy stuff has to stay in the bedroom only! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices/page/2#post-1241492 Sun, 04 May 2014 15:55:42 +0000 Angie 1241492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot sleep in long pants. Drives me up the wall. I sleep in little boy shorts and a tee. Then I wear bright fun sweats as a robe - they goe over my pjs very comfortably.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices/page/2#post-1241487 Sun, 04 May 2014 15:54:06 +0000 MsMary 1241487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lightweight cotton PJ's in summer, flannel PJ's in winter.&nbsp; </p> <p>But I don't lounge in my PJ's.&nbsp; I get dressed as soon as I get up in the morning and don't put on my PJ's until bedtime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices/page/2#post-1241450 Sun, 04 May 2014 15:18:34 +0000 Hil 1241450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to look at and receiving pretty sleepwear as gifts, but I very often default to my super soft, aged flannel pants and cotton tee-shirts. Nighties are something I never wear... Can't deal the stuff riding and rolling up as I move in the night. I used to often sleep in my birthday suit but that changed when we had kids... Somehow the pajama drill was more comfy in pajamas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices/page/2#post-1241436 Sun, 04 May 2014 14:51:31 +0000 BethL 1241436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great thread, dustt. I love reading about everyone's choices. I am strictly a PJ woman, which is funny because up until about 15 years ago, I only wore nightgowns. I don't know what I was thinking. I like soft and comfy. In the winter, I typically wear flannel bottoms and some kind of nice quality long-sleeve tee on top. In the summer, I go lighter weight on both and move to poplin or something like that for the bottoms and short sleeves or tanks for the tops. I also like modal or nice quality knitwear, though, for a change. </p> <p>I change out of my sleepwear almost as soon as I get out of bed in the morning. I'm out with my dog early, and I dislike wearing my pajamas and most loungewear to walk with him. I prefer to pull on my jeans (or shorts) and a sweater or something. That's probably weird. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices/page/2#post-1241425 Sun, 04 May 2014 14:34:15 +0000 Kim 1241425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Let's see... 2 sets Flannel PJ's, 2 sets Satin ( 1 shorts/1pants), 1 cotton set,&nbsp;4 cotton sleep shirts, 1 satin chemise.

I wear a cotton nightie (usually spaghetti strap or short sleeve). I rotate between 2 until they literally.fall.apart or are so riddled with holes that DH comments....then I search around La Senza or La Vie En Rose for the cheapest cotton replacement (usually $12) and bring it on board for the next few years. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices/page/2#post-1241382 Sun, 04 May 2014 12:52:39 +0000 dustt 1241382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to love to sleep only in my Chanel No5 - but 2 life events - living in the dorms in college and&nbsp;gravity in the bust area and some pretty meaty thighs had me re-evaluate comfort - so now its a minimum of a cami with a shelf bra and shorts so my legs don't stick when it's hot!! - I too started wearing more sleepwear when my girls reached an age where they started commenting.&nbsp; That being said my oldest, now 26, still sleeps in the buff and shows little to no modesty when she comes home for a visit.&nbsp; </p> <p>and Kiwi - those are some awesome colorful PJ pants!!

"Just an example: 'What do you wear to bed? Do you wear a pajama top, the bottoms of the pajamas, or a nightgown?' So I said, 'Chanel No. 5!' Because it's the truth! And yet I don't want to say 'nude,' you know? But it's the truth."</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices#post-1241233 Sun, 04 May 2014 02:16:17 +0000 Echo 1241233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Overall, I've never been comfortable wearing clothes to bed, either, Joy. It's just too much fabric against fabric, making it hard to move. But I wear chemise and robe sets currently, mainly because they function well as comfortable things to wear when I get up and make breakfast for the kids. The robe makes things modest enough that I don't have to change first thing when I wake up.</p> <p>In the winter I sleep in my birthday suit and wear a floor lenght fuzzy robe that zips up the front when I get up. Again, it is modest and comfortable enough that I can get the kids ready and make breakfast for them without having to change until we leave the house.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices#post-1241224 Sun, 04 May 2014 02:03:23 +0000 Anonymous 1241224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I the only one who doesn't wear sleepwear period?!

Maybe because I'm petite, but I always felt there was too much fabric to be comfortable. I'm against nightgowns for the same reason.</p> <p>When it's cold, I usually wear flannel plaid pajama pants from Old Navy or Target and a fitted long-sleeved tee. I don't always match them, but some of them do match. I'll throw on a hoodie for extra warmth as needed. When it's warmer, I switch to cotton pants or capris and in the height of summer, a tank top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices#post-1241147 Sat, 03 May 2014 23:44:10 +0000 Diana 1241147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When it's warmer I prefer chemise-style nightgowns in some type of jersey fabric&nbsp;(must be above the knee short, longer gets tangled up when I sleep, which I hate). &nbsp;They are both comfy and cute.&nbsp; Something like this, for example.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dkny-7-easy-pieces-pintuck-chemise/3209993?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=60153599&amp;fashionColor=Charcoal+Heather&amp;resultback=174&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_B">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dk.....h-personal</a></p> <p>When it's too cold for those, I wear flannel PJs from Victoria's secret. &nbsp;My current ones are baby pink with a toile pattern featuring big cats. &nbsp;Not currently available (I think it's a winter only thing) but this is them:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/catalogue/the-dreamer-flannel-pajama?ProductID=161842&amp;CatalogueType=OLS&amp;cqo=true&amp;cqoCat=EY">http://www.victoriassecret.com.....ogueType=O</a></p> <p>I prefer the chemises (don't really like to wear pants to bed) but sometimes it's just too cold. &nbsp;Sometimes I'll toss on a long waterfall-style cardigan or a zip up hoodie over it&nbsp;in the morning.&nbsp; I prefer to wear dresses rather than pants as loungewear too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices#post-1241146 Sat, 03 May 2014 23:43:04 +0000 Jjsloane 1241146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On weekends I wear my sleepwear longer than I should (and it may involve going outside for the paper)&nbsp;so it has to at least cover me. I prefer pj pants - flannel in winter, cotton or knit in warmer weather. I have to wear a shelf bra cami for support and then a tee over that. I do have to coordinate, but a lot of my bottoms are crazy print bottoms from Old Navy or Nautica&nbsp;and tops are Gap body tees (Modal is so nice and soft and helps with temp fluctuations). I have a few "nice" pjs. I like the Carol Hochman fabric (Sierra Trading post has them cheap sometimes), Nordstrom knit and Josie (Natori).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices#post-1241138 Sat, 03 May 2014 23:33:33 +0000 Windchime 1241138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Comfort first, meaning warmth in winter. Confession: I frequently wore a Cuddl Duds hoodie for sleeping this past winter and started actually wearing the hood. I felt quite non fashionable but noticed a big difference in comfort when my head was covered. (We keep the house temperature relatively cool at night.) Hey, people used to wear nightcaps, right?!</p> <p>I like sleepwear which make me feel non frumpy. When I have the occasional night away with girlfriends and someone compliments my sleepwear, that's nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices#post-1241127 Sat, 03 May 2014 23:14:46 +0000 gryffin 1241127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>dustt - I take the sleep/lounge capsule uber seriously since I have dogs and I have to be able to be out with them.&nbsp; I also run cold in all seasons.&nbsp; I wear danskin black leggings a black gap ribbed tank and a gap black tunic length sweatshirt, I have two different styles.&nbsp; I wear black capri leggings, black tank&nbsp;and a sleeveless gray &nbsp;tunic sweatshirt also old gap in summer.&nbsp; Merrell moc fleecey lined mocs with socks in winter and merrell moc breeze in summer.&nbsp; Always comfy and if the neighbors see me with the pups or at the mail box, then I'm still good.&nbsp; When I had my son, I decided that if&nbsp;I can't show up in the ER in it or be seen outside in it, I was not going to wear it.&nbsp; Call it paranoia but it works for me!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-everyones-sleepwear-choices#post-1241117 Sat, 03 May 2014 23:03:51 +0000 Mia 1241117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I coordinate my sleepwear to my bedroom colour scheme so that should tell you something. &nbsp;My current have brands are "Midnight" by Carol Hochmann which I often find on discount at Winners and Bodas which I order from Net a Porter because I can't find it anywhere else. &nbsp;I love the thin woven cotton they use. &nbsp;Gets better with age. &nbsp;I've also had good luck with P.J.

I also have a couple of Shimera PJ pants and shorts that I wear with simple cotton tank tops (from Target usually). I still have some nice Natori pajamas that have lasted me for years. The older I get, the less I need really warm sleepwear -- I wake up in the middle of the night roasting if I wear flannel anymore. </p>
