My darlings, what do you wear to bed? A nightgown? Little shorts? Underwear? Do you sleep naked?
I usually wear a tank top and little shorts, but now and again, I’ll shave my legs and wear something prettier. :) My favorite slip is the Eberjey Godiva chemise. I wore the pink one almost every night of our honeymoon.
What’s your bedtime uniform?

just naked to cool all my body, lol
A blue tank top and green plad shorts. It gets really hot in Canada in the summer.
Naked! Freshly shaved legs + clean sheets (especially flannel during the winter) = HEAVEN!
Plus, how often do you get to wear absolutely nothing?!
I love to have choices, sometimes a silk chemise of my own design, I also love to wear shorties with a camisole in summer. In winter I have flannel drawstring pants with a t-shirt or my most delightful organic cotton button down top and drawstring trousers or a heavy cotton knit long sleeve night shirt. Alternatively I will wear my granny nightie, which is a lovely rayon ticking stripe full length with tiny pearl buttons in the bodice and drawstring in back. Versatility always is key for me. I love to have choices!!

Being of a certain age (ahem) I do not seem to require any help in staying warm. For the first time in my life, I am sleeping in the buff, after never understanding why people would do that…..it is definitely more comfortable, but I miss my cotton pj’s!
I usually wear whatever oversized t-shirt I have available and underwear. Unless I’m visiting someone or hosting visitors, in which case I wear a tank top, a sports bra, and pj bottoms or shorts.
my favorite is a sports bra and scrub pants.
Usually pj pants or shorts and a cami with a shelf bra.
Very loose, comfortable clothing since I am very pregnant. =]
Love the slip, though!
Always little shorts and a vest, then if it’s cold I’ll just pile blankets on top of me! I can’t wear a nightdress…far too tangly! xxx
i wear victoria’s secret pj bottoms. usually the type that you can match to a tee shirt. i have so many pj bottoms, i love them! it’s my uniform once i get home from work.
i find nothing more sexy than my man in pj bottoms and a tee shirt. is it just me? for some reason, my man in pj’s turns me on. :)
I wear a t-shirt and running shorts.
I wear what I wear around the house. When it’s warm, I wear tees from the boys department and cotton shorts, sometimes with a light cardigan. When it’s cold I walk around the house with army sweatpants and my favorite hoodie on top, but it’s always too hot for sleeping.
I usually sleep naked (I like the way sheets feel in the morning :) ), but when it is chilly I wear my boyfriend’s patchwork plaid pajama bottoms. No need for socks or tops in San Diego!
Pajamas and a men’s white tank. Not so sexy but sure is comfy. Every now and then, nothing at all!
i used to sleep in pajama pants and a tank top all the time.
used to.
we just had a baby (like, tuesday!) and so now i’m going to have to figure out new sleeping attire potentially. something i can nurse in, something that won’t be as warm as i’m running hotter and hotter!
Just underwear, and then in the winter I’ll move up to a wife-beater and tank. I love the feel of the sheets on my bare skin!
Topless with pajama pants.
Soft t-shirt and underwear (both optional).
Geez, all you ladies must have husbands/sleeping partners who don’t keep your room as cold as a meat locker. If I go to sleep in anything less than sweats, I wake up freezing in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep. I miss sleeping in shorts and tank tops. lol
Thank you so much for sharing the site for Eberjey. What lovely intimates and lounge wear. I plan on ordering some. I sleep in pajama bottoms with usually a mis-matched t-shirt of some kind. The t-shirt has to be fitted. When I want to “dress for bed”, I wear a sweet short slippy nighty, but this does not happen often enough.
Also, thank you for sharing the Maine cottage info. I want to so badly rent one for next summer and may follow through. I have always had a bit of a fascination with New England in particular Maine and am currently reading the book Maine right now.
Thanks again… your blog is wonderful.

I love La Senza boyfriends shirts. It’s both sexy, cute AND comfortable.
like this one
underwear and …
usually a sports bra
sometime a comfy soft tee
rarely nothing
I wear undies and an oversized tshirt! :) I looove being all comfy! :)
It depends on the weather. I live in San Diego so it is usually warmer, if it is warm I sleep naked. If it is cool I wear shorts and a tank top. My husband likes warmer weather ;)
aw, i just did a post on sleepwear last week! It’s so nice, especially after babies, to feel your best… always! sleepwear should be comfortable, but beautiful!

i love the chemises from Gap and wear them every night:) so soft and comfy…
Ooh, that chemise is lovely! I usually stick to an over-sized t-shirt as my bedtime attire, but I’ve been meaning to throw some prettier pieces into the mix. Now would be a good time to actually follow through on the prettiness promise. :)
Absolutely nothing… I couldn’t imagine having to put on clothes to go to bed! It’s funny tho, I imagine that people who wear things to bed feel the same way about sleeping starkers : )
NEKKID!
I wear old fashioned nightgowns around and while I read, but when the lights are out, we’re always naked!
a tank top and undies or yoga pants :) i desperately need to update my sleepwear….. hahaa
Most often naked, or undies – it’s just so much more comfortable!
Naked: It’s just so liberating. But if it’s really cold or there’s a guest over, I wear a big t-shirt like the ones that came from the most random places. (Bar-mitzvahs, vacations, elementary school, etc.) They’re usually long enough not to need anything underneath.
just underwear, nothing on top. it’s the best! :}
only underwear!
A cotton slip with lace trimmings (I have several in different colors) for summer. And flannel pj bottoms with a tank top or a tee in the winter. I never get completely cold during long Portland winters since I have a heated mattress pad. Best purchase ever!
I wear a worn out t-shirt that i stole from my brother. it’s oversized and so comfy.
Cotton panties and a tee shirt
I wear t-shirt and boy shorts to bed. but once in a while, I’d like to put a slip like yours. xoxo
gorgeous chemise!
Slept naked until I had a baby. Miss those days. He’s now a toddler, so I usually sleep in a cotton nightgown (usually a long tank top lookin’ thing) and nothing else.
Naked! Sometimes I go to bed with good intentions and put on a nightie or a tank top, but after a few minutes of pulling and tugging on the fabric I peel down to my birthday suit.
I love sleeping in chemises. That is such a pretty one!
i normally wear a big t-shirt and little shorts. comfy and not fitted.
My husband and I both sleep naked every night! We do keep somtihng to throw on nearby just in case! :)
I love cotton pj’s – my summer white set has been from Tucker for Target.
When I get ready for bed I always think of that line from Marilyn Monroe : “what do I wear to bed? Chanel no. 5 of course”
in the summer i usually wear a breezy nightie. now i’m transitioning to little shorts and a t-shirt. in the winter i wear sweat pants and a long-sleeve shirt.
p.s. i LOVE that chemise! :)
Usually a tee/tank with pajama bottoms/shorts (depending on weather/season, etc).
When boyfriend visits (currently long distance) – his t-shirt :)
“shave every once in a while..” ha, i feel you! i sleep in a tank top and boxers usually.
I wear nightie slips and undies to bed… I can’t wear pants or shorts so they’ve worked the best for me. The hubs likes them too so it’s all good :)
if my boyfirend is over i will put on a pretty little nighty/slip, or just go nakey. if im alone, cheapo cotton skivvies and sometimes i slather my feet in heavyduty lotion and throw on socks too…haha
Just undies! Usually cotton ones, but occasionally, say after shaving, some ruffled ones from Honeydew. :)
I like a tank and little shorts, but when I feel sexy i like to sleep naked!
nudie!
Nada!
I wear little boxers + a tank, all year round – I love being cold when I sleep! Thanks for posting, reminds me I should wear something cuter once in awhile!
PS happy anniversary to you + Alex :)
little boxers or underwear + a tank top. I don’t like having too much on but definitely don’t like sleeping naked. lol
T-shirt + underwear.
(even in winter only underwear, I can’t stand pajama pants under my super duvet;-)
A chemise like that would be nice but I can’t sleep with my shoulder uncovered :(
A request to clothing producers: please make something sexy but with some sleeves :-D
Usually just underwear! I live in an apartment that is always hot year round, not matter how I toy with the thermostat or what the weather outside is. I’m wondering when I’ll have to add a little more since I’m mom to a little boy.
god those sheets look so comfortable in the first picture!! i think it appeals to me so much right now because i am a nurse who is scheduled to work night shift tonight but CAN’T SLEEP because there are construction workers outside! Ahhh! Maybe if I had those sheets it wouldn’t matter because I would be just as zonked out as that chick in the picture.
p.s. t shirt and underwear is my vote. nothing worse than getting tangled in pants or long night gown!!
p.s.s. i love your blog.

anything but socks! i cannot handle the feel of them in bed. :)
i love cute little shorts and camis and panties to sleep in! oh, but my husband keeps the house at 1 degree at night. i literally sleep in sweat shirts and flannel pants in the heat of the summer! oh well :)
panties! maybe a little slip if i’m feeling sexy ;)
Usually naked (unless I’m staying at someone’s house, then panties + Tee) But I adore vintage lace nighties and flannel pjs! (even if they just get worn around the house, ha)
Oh, I hate to admit that I’ve gotten so lazy but I wear mostly pajama pants from Old Navy and tank tops. That chemise does inspire me to step it up a bit. On the same topic, does anyone know where to get a cute lightweight robe? Maybe I’d go cuter with the pj’s if I had something to throw on over it for when I’m feeling modest. :-)
I usually wear a tshirt and some underarmor shorts to bed but it would be nice to have something pretty! It’s just so hard to go shopping for them!
My husband and I buy men’s pajamas and share–I wear the top as a nightshirt, and he wears bottoms. :)
