Summer is here and how! The enervating heat wave combined with high humidity has got us craving for some relief from this sweltering weather.
While most of us blast the air-con all night long, hoping to drift into a deep and peaceful slumber; more often than not, we struggle to have a good night’s sleep during this time of the year. Well, we can't do much about the heat but we can surely share some nightwear tips to make your summer nights a lot more comfortable and stylish.
There’s something completely magical about good quality nightwear. They don't only comfort your body but also soothe your soul. If there is a moment in the day that people crave for, it has to be the time when you step into your jammies!
Not only has nightwear become more quirky in prints, colors & patterns but also in versatility. So, it's high time to upgrade your nightwear collection!
Here are 3 things to keep in mind while picking your next nightwear:
1. Choose Your Fabric Wisely
We all know that silk and satin nightwear look tempting and classy but they aren't the best option for summer nights. Keep your polyester, flannel, silk and satin nightwear for colder nights or special occasions. Try cotton or linen fibers for summer instead.
One of the oldest and most simple fabrics- cotton is the best choice!
Cotton is a pure, lightweight and breathable fabric that soaks in moisture easily. Being one of the most organic fabrics, it has a soft and soothing texture that works well for the skin and does not cause any irritation. What makes this fabric even more lovable is that it does not cling to your skin, it ages slowly and with time, it also becomes softer. This makes it one of the most comfortable fabrics that is best suited for nightwear.
2. Wear a Fairly Loose Fitting Nightwear
When you hit the bed, all you want to feel is relaxed. This can't possibly happen if you have crouched your skin into some tight or ratty old clothes. Ideally, one should wear fairly loose-fitting nightwear instead of clingy ones. This will make you feel comfortable, roomy, light, cool and breezy, which is a prerequisite for a good night’s sleep.
3. Dual Purpose Nightwear
The purpose of summer nightwear is to make you feel cozy and comfortable while you sleep in style. Nowadays, with so many options available, we are being spoiled for choices. What’s more? Other than their obvious purpose, many people feel so comfortable in their nightwear that they want to lounge about in it all day too. And why not? Why just stick to sleeping in them when you can work from home in them too! Not only that, some nightwear sets can also be used in alternative ways. Maybe team the kurta with jeans and the pyjamas with any other top and you are good to go out too.
If you’re thinking what to go for, here are some hand-picked bestsellers to slip into to relax through these sultry summer nights…
1. Kaftan style nightwear
A wardrobe staple, cotton nighties are your keys to comfort (if you are used to them). If you are bored of that look, opt for a kaftan style nighty to look chic even while you sleep. Some of these ultra-comfy ones come in hand-block printed patterns that do so much justice to the overall look and feel of the piece. If you like the kaftan style then you can also opt for kaftan kurta and pyjama nightwear sets that have their own casual yet chic appeal.
2. Collared Night Suits
These are becoming increasingly popular because of their varied prints and styles. If you ask us our current favorite, we recommend cotton, hand block beauties in vibrant colors & floral designs.
3. Kurta and pyjama
These are the most versatile sets as you can mix and match each unit with other outfits too. These are also perfect to lounge about in, without looking extremely casual or feeling out of place. Look out for exotic Ajrak, hand block prints or other crafts that beam with Indian patterns and classic motifs.
4. T-shirt night dresses
These cute nightdresses can make any lady look younger. They come in varied colors and prints and are perfect for a cozy night in.
5. Shorts & Tee
If you are one who loves your shorts, then this nightwear is for you. Mini shorts with loose, boxy tops are the way to go!
