I'm so glad I'm in good company:)

I love coordinated sleepwear. I don't feel so bad if I have to step outside to take out the trash or accept a package if my sleepwear looks coordinated. My hair however is a different story it never looks good in the morning.

Joy, Parsley et al, I didn't even own sleepwear until I had children five years ago (the children and I sleep in the same bed)! I am much more comfortable in Chanel No 5! Giggle giggle!
Now I have co-ordinated silk and satin slips and chemises, (very) briefs and lace and silk robes.

Ok my desire for crazy and bright patterns is reflected in my sleepwear and as it is nearly bedtime I just happen to be wearing my Pjs .
Bonus photo - these colours make me happy.

Just went back & read the other posts - PJs are for cool weather and birthday suit is for warm weather .

I used to love to sleep only in my Chanel No5 - but 2 life events - living in the dorms in college and 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. 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.

and Kiwi - those are some awesome colorful PJ pants!! I'm noticing a bit of the coordinated sweatshirt too!!

I'm a cheapskate when it comes to sleepwear. 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.

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.

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.

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!

Lightweight cotton PJ's in summer, flannel PJ's in winter.

But I don't lounge in my PJ's. I get dressed as soon as I get up in the morning and don't put on my PJ's until bedtime.

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.

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!

Opposite of Angie, when it is cool, I NEED pajamas. I especially like plaid. I have to have calf coverage.

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.

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.
