Nighttime Is the Right Time for Dreamy Dressing

Comfortable and Sexy Sleepwear for Women

After a long, busy day, many women look forward to a good night’s sleep. Part of the pleasure is slipping into something comfortable for the slumber ahead.

While women want comfortable sleepwear, they also look for something sexy to wear before climbing into bed, says Michelle Sullivan, sales representative at Leonardo’s Boutique in the Hyatt Hotel in Garden Grove.

“Women care what they wear to sleep,” agrees Leslie Stoddard, co-owner of Intimate Concepts in Irvine. “Nightwear is moving toward a sexier look and there is a lot more variety in today’s sleepwear.”

You’ll also find many more colors than ever before. “Besides black and white, there is a lot of women’s nightwear in warm colors like brown and gold, which are very popular,” says Lena Marie Sulahian, owner of Marie’s Boudoir in Laguna Niguel.

The following sampling of stores offers nightwear perfect for snoozing and lounging:
