Watching Mad Men the other night, I was struck by how glamorous all the women look … in bed! They may be a bunch of dysfunctional basket-cases, but none of those ladies — not even Peggy! — would be caught dead in some of the scroungy things I sleep in — from old T-shirts to stretched-out camisoles. Yikes!
So, time for some nighttime spring cleaning, I say! Out with the old, in with the sexy. Are you with me? (I bet your mate is!) To get inspired, here's round-up of nightwear that's sexy but comfortable enough that you can actually sleep in it. Plus you won't feel totally mortified if your kids catch you wearing it!
In Bloom by Jonquil 'Asian Butterfly' Chemise
Love the back of this chemise! And the front is cute too. $56 at Nordstrom.com.
Elle Macpherson Intimates 'Big Wave Break' Camisole and Shorts
This set is a bit of a splurge, but how gorgeous! I love the classic colors and the lacy detail. $50 for the nightie and $40 for the shorts at FigLeaves.com.
Apt. 9 Lily Knit Lace Inset Chemise
This pretty yet affordable little item also comes in a print pattern and a summery minty blue. On sale for $19.20 at Kohl's.
Parfait by Affinitas 'Honey' Underwire Babydoll
Parfait by Affinitas is a fairly new line developed with the full-busted woman in mind, so everything is ultra-supportive. This sexy babydoll comes with foam-padded underwire bra cups … so, okay, might not be totally comfortable for sleeping in. Special occasion, maybe? Either way, it's smokin' hot! $65 at BareNecessitites.com.
Jenni by Jennifer Moore Slinky Knit Tank Top and Pajama Pants Set
If you're more of a pjs kind of gal, a matching set like this is pretty and hot in a cute sorority girl kind of way. (Bottoms optional!) $36.50 at Macy's.
'Luscious Light' Cami Set by Betsey Johnson
I love everything Betsey Johnson, especially her accessories and lingerie! This sweet little set is the perfect combo of saucy and sleep-in-able. $59 at betseyjohnson.com.
Victoria's Secret Dream Angels Satin Sleep Shirt
If animal print isn't your style, this silky number comes in a variety of other looks, like classic pink stripes, a pretty nude paisley, black with leopard trim, and more. $48 at Victoria's Secret.
