Essentially, the fashion world is a sliding scale between two identities: creatures of comfort and those who prefer to be dressed to the nines with a full-on ensemble. No matter where you fall on the spectrum, wearing your pajamas in public is a trend that everyone will be happy about—especially now that sleep dresses are officially on our radar.
Blame it on the fashion industry’s current love for sleepwear or the number of “ugly” trends we simply can’t get enough of, but wearing a nightgown, or a nightgown-inspired dress, is chicer than ever. If you like to be stylish and comfortable at all hours of the day, this one is for you.
