Fashion Experts Concur: Adorable Nighties Are a Must-Have in Your Wardrobe This Summer.
A few days back, I did something I had never experienced before: I literally rolled out of bed in an Eileen West nightgown and, still half-asleep, headed straight across the street for coffee. To my surprise, considering I had just woken up, a woman approached me and complimented how adorable my dress (a.k.a. pajamas) was, mentioning she had been searching for something similar for summer. My nightgown turned out to be the ideal dress for the heatwave—light and 100% cotton. When it's too hot to think clearly, I appreciate having something I can easily throw on and head out. I enjoy how effortless it is—a one-and-done dress that allows me to appear put together without any effort. Eileen West is one of my favorite brands for this, but I also have a few others I frequently wear: the Pour Les Femmes Lace Square-Neck Nightgown, the Piyama Betty Nightie, and the Lanz of Salzburg Dream Long Nightgown. Other brands to consider for similar styles include Dôen, Free People, Helsa, Hill House, If Only If, J.Crew, and Posse. Keep scrolling to shop for nightgowns for summer 2026.
