Something as simple as women’s nightgowns can mean a good or not so good night’s sleep. Surprisingly, the difference between classic or sexy lingerie and intimate apparel can make the world of difference in how well you sleep. That is how essential sleepwear is though it is often overlooked.

Picking The Right Nightgown

There are a multitude of nightgown and ladies sleepwear styles to choose from. Some popular options are the sexy lace nightgown, the practical cotton nightgown, and silky satin nightgowns. And then there are the other basics like a women’s robe and pajamas.

So, how does one know which pajamas or nightgown is the best for them? The next time you are in the lingerie department contemplating sleepwear styles, ask yourself the following questions.

1. Consider the occasion or the purpose of the sleepwear. That’s an important question. Which styles do you feel more comfortable in, a cotton nightgown or silk pajamas? Is your aim sexy and daring or modest and tame? The key to being successful in any lingerie style is choosing something that you are comfortable wearing and look great in. Consequently, you need to choose what feels best on you.

2. Select the fabric that feels best for you. One that feels good on your skin. If you feel right and comfy, then that is the fabric for you. Do you yearn for satin, silk, cotton or flannel? Do you prefer a knit or woven fabric? When shopping for ladies sleepwear, choose soft and cosy fabrics. Rough or irritating fabrics aren’t a good choice since they will chafe against your skin. Rather opt for cosier lingerie fabrics that feel fabulous like cotton, soft lace, most satins and luxurious lace if you can splurge.

Most women love the feel of cotton when it comes to ladies sleepwear. A practical and comfortable fabric, cotton continues to be a great choice. Satin, silk, lace or lace trims are considered dressier. Also consider microfiber which is very soft and comfy. Microfiber is a synthetic made from polyester or nylon and is ultra soft. These are just a few of the many materials available. Check out the different options and choose something that you like.

3. Consider the differerent pajamas or styles of womens nightgowns. So, for example if it is a nightgown you are interested in, do you prefer a long nightgown or a short one? Keep in mind that short nighties are great for keeping cool during the summer and long nightgowns are popular during the winter months. Certainly the climate that you live in has a lot to do with your choice.

Additionally, consider what kind of neckline you prefer. The basic or traditional neckline is round or scoop. Other styles include the V neck or boat neck. And finally which sleeve length do you want. Do you like long or short sleeves? Or, do you like sleeveless? Is the air conditioning on where you sleep?

These are all things to take into account when you are sleepwear shopping for womens nightgowns or pajamas. And, little things like this can make a big difference between sleeping like a baby and having a restless night. Being comfortable when you sleep is so very important. Now, getting a great night’s sleep should be a breeze!
