Nighties Reimagined: Sleepwear to Daywear Chic
Gone are the days when nighties were strictly bedroom territory. Today, nighties are having a moment in the sun—literally. From cotton nighties to silk lace chemise styles, these bedtime favourites are being reimagined as versatile wardrobe heroes. Curious how you can take your favourite nightie from sleepwear to streetwear without missing a beat? Let’s dive in.
Why Cotton Nighties Are Gaining Popularity in Everyday Fashion
In a post-pandemic world where comfort is king, fashion has taken a well-earned deep breath. We’re leaving restrictive outfits behind and embracing soft, slinky, breathable fabrics. Nighties—especially women's nighties made from gentle materials like cotton modal and mulberry silk—tick all the right boxes.
More brands, including The Foundation, are turning to high-quality materials and timeless styles. That’s why nighties are no longer just for bedtime. With inclusive sizing (from XXS to 4XL) and a curated sleepwear collection, we celebrate every body type.
How to Transform Your Nightie into a Daytime Look
- Layer It Up: Throw on a cropped jacket or oversized blazer for instant cool.
- Add a Belt: Cinch your waist with a belt to give structure and definition.
- Go Monochrome: Match your shoes and bag to your nightie for a sleek look.
- Accessorise Smart: A structured tote, minimal jewellery, and comfy shoes do the trick.
Pro Tip: Try our Fable and Eve Greenwich Robe as a lightweight layering piece—elegant, luxe, and endlessly wearable.
