...you never go back.At least when it comes to sleepwear. I've recently rediscovered silk pajamas, and I now understand what the fuss is all about. They're warm, but not so much that you wake up at night roasting. They feel good against your skin, and don't stick to the sheets. And there's an aura of 1930's glamour around silk sleepwear. While you might think first of Jean Harlow in a silk dressing gown, for under-the-radar sexiness, you can't beat men's style pajamas in silk.
Winter Silks has some nice options, and their prices seem to be quite reasonable. They also offer some styles in Petite sizes, which is really great for those of us who balk at paying to have our pajamas altered. 
This basic style is available in a wide range of pretty colors. Think Claudette Colbert as a runaway heiress, on the road with Clark Gable.
These with the contrast piping are very Nick Charles. Waking up at noon to a cocktail, "just a drop to cut the plegm." Swanky hotels and not-so-swanky dives. A little danger, balanced with a little witty repartée.
Oh I so agree with the silk - love it for sleeping, but not the long nightgowns that look so lovely in pictures. I find they wind around my legs and wake me up. I was considering (since I'm on the taller side) buying some medium mens tall pajamas from Winter Silks and then just wearing the top to sleep in. That would be the length I like.
ReplyDeleteI just cannot do silk p.j.'s in cold climates. And, I am seriously nightgown phobic. I wake up feeling strangled by the gown. I do love silk long underwear.
ReplyDeleteAnd side note, I LOVE Nick Charles. Not as much as Cary Grant. Nick was so funny, smart and stylish.
Hope you have great pj's to take with you to the hospital.
Happy New Years!!
OOOhh, I love silk pjs. And I really like a short silk nightie (more like a slip, really) for sleeping in the warmer months. Bought some silk long underwear a few years ago when my husband was working in Ottawa and they are fabulous -- instant lightweight warmth, but not so much that you die from heat prostration as soon as you get inside. This looks like a really good source -- I'm going to bookmark it. Happy New Year's!
ReplyDeleteWintersilks silk panties are perfect for travel- wash and dry very quickly in your hotel room but breathe unlike mircofiber which in the tropics is like wearing a plastic bag!
ReplyDeleteYou're either a crinkle silk skirt type or not... if you are, Wintersilk's are luscious colours and very reasonable.
