THE BIG SLEEP: NIGHTWEAR EDITION

You have heard it before: what you wear can say a lot about you. From the vest-wearing “finance bros” to the Bushwick hipsters, there are elements to particular streetwear ensembles that have the ability to pigeonhole an individual’s entire identity. At first, hearing this may seem a bit frightening; however, there is an alternative way to address this phenomenon that is oh, so forward-thinking 2023. Remix the system by dressing how you would like to be perceived and changing it up as often as desired. Feeling hyper-feminine on Monday but effortlessly bummy on Tuesday? Go for it! With the Winter holiday season quickly approaching and families hunkering down under one roof, nightwear will soon surpass daywear as the optimal environment to showcase your impeccable fashion sense.


By classifying these must-have sleepwear pieces by personality, we offer you some dusk-to-dawn options that will have you considering your own style across the persona spectrum. 

Have fun with it, and happy holidays!


La Princesse Chic

I cannot think of many things that feel better than wearing a matching silk, or satin set. They give off an old-money appeal while remaining simple and obtainable—not to mention they make for a great girl’s night photo opportunity. As an added bonus, slide on a pair of plush slippers to show off your new pedicure, and if you are not sure what colors to don, no worries. Vanity Stories has got you covered for Fall and Winter nail looks.     

The Trendsetter

For those wanting to keep pace with the current and upcoming trends for house-leisure attire, embrace the fuzzy robes and cotton craze. With SKIMS reaching new heights in nightwear, and fashion houses quick to jump in on the obsession, we, the wearers, get to benefit from warm and cuddly sleep ensembles. Immerse yourself in fluffy fleece, or bundle up in a cozy knit while you snuggle up to the fire. 

The Rachel Green

It’s the go-to girlfriend gear: boxers and a tee. Not only is it unbelievably freeing, it is also ultra-adorable. For those looking to achieve the look without having to track down the nearest men’s department store, mimic the bottoms with women’s drawstring pajama shorts. Throw over an oversized tee, and enjoy the nightwear that held a tight grip over the women of the 90s. 

The Kid at Heart


Speaking of trends that are on the horizon, Winter 22.23 is welcoming back the onesie. I remember when thermal button-up onesies were all the rage in terms of pajamas, and although they are a bit of a bold statement, nothing says playfully quite like them.

SILK MAISON

Basic Silk Pajama Set

This is entry-level silk pajamas set, which should be a fair choice for those who want to try silk pajamas for the first time. It has a very simple design and tailoring, but like all the other products in Silk Maison, it still uses the best fabrics in silk. If you successfully style with it and like the texture and style, go ahead and try other silk products with more complicated designs.

MAISON

Bronze silk satin slip with frastaglio

Crafted from a weightless bronze coloured silk-satin, the Maison slip embodies qualities of preciousness and individuality. The hand-placed metallic frastaglio elegantly frames the neckline and descends into a seductive V at the back. Suspended from two elegant and adjustable straps, the silhouette is cut impeccably and glides over the body offering definition and comfort. Complete the look with the matching short robe.

COZY KNIT UNISEX ROBE

This is the softest robe you and yours will wear all season long. Features a comfortable, relaxed fit, removable belt, and side patch pockets.

Abigail Kussow

Somewhere between driving forty-eight minutes to get to the nearest Sephora, and getting a degree in Anthropology, I found myself–-as many of us do– utterly dissatisfied with where I was headed. I would pick up extra hours at the university library because it gave me access to the latest issues Condé Nast had to offer, and I was guilty of the cardinal sin of wearing my favorite pair of sling-back mules in the laboratory. When the novelty of being in academia wore off, I clung to the joy I found in the novels of Joan Didion, and clips of fashion week that trickled down my social media feeds. Hi, I’m Abigail, and like my fellow VS authors, clean beauty and writing are part of the lifestyle. I refuse to divorce myself from monochrome minimalism and subtle plum lipstick. I’m a fervent believer that mascara should be layered on top and bottom. Shoes are just as important as your manicure, and perfume is best when it doesn’t crowd the room. I am the #caférecluse on her 2009-2012 Rachel McAdams aesthetic binge, and I wear it well.
