Pyjamas are the evening ritual we all know and love. Just as good bedding is an investment worth making, quality sleepwear can make all the difference to a great night's sleep!
From matching sets to funky prints, the possibilities are endless when it comes to nightwear, and we have an extensive range available online and in-store at McElhinneys Lingerie department.
On average, we spend around twenty-three years of our lives in pyjamas, so why not do it in style?
Why Fabrics Matter In Nightwear
As we approach the summer months, it's important to choose nightwear with lightweight fabrics for a more breathable and comfortable sleep.
In particular, if you want your PJs to keep you cool all night, look for cotton, linen, or bamboo in the fabric composition.
All three are natural fibres that allow air to circulate freely around the body, which helps regulate body temperature.
A great option for warmer nights is a pyjama short, and we're loving this summery vibe of these peach shorts from Triumph, which are made from 100% cotton.
Cotton on
Speaking of cotton, another great example of pyjamas that are going to be comfortable on warmer nights is this Short Sleeve Nightdress from Triumph.
This particular nightdress is also made from 100% cotton, making it breathable and super soft to the touch.
If blue isn't your colour, we also have the same nightdress available in a flattering pink version.
Think Pink
From classic button-down shirts with matching bottoms to t-shirts paired with shorts or pyjama bottoms, consider investing in new pyjamas to really elevate your sleep experience this season.
A top pick for us is this fun pink pineapple print pyjama set from Indigo Sky, which is also available in a vibrant blue version.
Stay Cosy In Stylish Robes
Why not keep the comfort party going even after you first wake up with the perfect dressing gown or housecoat?
Ideal for lounging at home or wearing while you're getting ready in the mornings, the right robe can become a wardrobe staple.
At this time of year, many of us will be on the hunt for a shorter dressing gown, and this blue dressing robe from Indigo Sky is the perfect blend of comfort and a sunshine colour.
We're all about giving you options here at McElhinneys, so of course, this robe is also available in a hot pink colour if that's more your style!
Sleep But Make It Fashion
We couldn't forget about the fashionistas out there who want to look stylish even at nighttime!
One of our favourite styles this season when it comes to nightwear is a pinstripe pyjama set, especially when it comes with shorts.
This pink pinstripe pyjama shorts set from Triumph is a favourite, and it is also available in blue.
The Benefits Of Using A Silk Pillowcase
Silk has the same benefits as using nightwear made from cotton and linen fabrics, as well as being protein-rich, which helps to preserve skin and hair moisture.
Silk also has low friction, which prevents skin tugging and irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin, which is why dermatologists and skincare experts will often recommend their clients use a silk pillowcase.
So remember, this summer think light and breathable when it comes to choosing your nightwear and bedding, and hopefully we will get the warmer weather to match!
Until next time,
