Best Nightgowns

Skin friendliness of the materials, comfort and sufficient freedom of movement are significant factors that should be taken into account when purchasing a new shirt. This is precisely why many people are increasingly opting for the classic nightgown, which is made of soft cotton or one of the many other variants. The classic nightgown has an extremely long tradition that goes back many centuries to the past. Thus the first historically documented mention of the nightdress dates back to Italy in the 16th century. Before, it was customary to sleep without clothes. Over the years, the nightgown became more and more popular for men and women in Europe, so that the nightgown became known in German-speaking countries under the name “Herzschützer”. For the female sex it was usual to wear only nightdresses until about the middle of the 20th century, but this was to change in the following decades. However, men wore pyjamas for the night as early as the 1890s. Although today the range of different sleeping clothes is huge, the classic nightgown is still a modern and extremely popular piece of clothing that has never gone out of fashion over the centuries

Modern nightgowns have long since ceased to be garments worn exclusively by women. Many men and children also use high-quality nightdresses for their nightwear. This type of nightwear is particularly popular with fashion-conscious people and retro lovers, so the nightgown has long since lost its reputation as an out-of-date item of clothing. The long-sleeved nightshirts for men are very similar to a pyjama top. They are also more generously cut than ladies’ nightgowns and are therefore often referred to as unisex suits. This form of nightgown, which is available for both men and women, is also much more functional than narrow-cut nightwear and is now available in many different shapes and material combinations. The typical cotton nightgowns are particularly suitable for warmer days, while flannel and fleece models are ideal for the cold winter months. High-quality and expensive materials such as silk and satin are not only extremely popular because of their noble appearance and good thermal properties, but they also offer a first-class wearing experience. According to current studies, however, around 20% of Germans do not wear any clothes at all when sleeping.

Many might know the term “Babydoll”. This is a controversial US drama from 1956, after which a female garment was named. The babydoll has since become a fixed element of female lingerie nightwear and the perfect nightwear item for many ladies in the lingerie sector. Babydolls are available in numerous different designs and material combinations. What they all have in common, however, is the short and concise cut, which emphasises the neckline particularly strongly. These short and provocative garments are not suitable for all ladies. For example, special nightgowns are available for the time during pregnancy, with elastic fabrics and a generous cut for optimum comfort during the night. These comfortable nightgowns have openings in them to make breastfeeding much easier for the baby. They are available in many different colours and shapes and should not be equated with boring omastyle nightdresses.
