What do you wear to bed?

Ok, we all know what Marilyn wore to bed.  But for the Norma Jeans among us, let's just accept that it takes more than a spritz of Chanel No 5 to be bed-ready.

For once we can't say there are only two answers to our ponderings; after all, being dressed for bed depends on a lot - marital status, comfort preferences, who's bed we're in.  So we, being the nosy crew we are, want to find out what our members wear to bed? 

Why?  Well, after a quick poll around BRHQ we discovered we're sleep slobs. You will pretty much find us in any of the bottom three of our list of bed outfits:

  • Nothing.  Nuddy bum sleeping is the choice for some.  Add glamour points if you wear just perfume.
  • You man's shirt.  No, not his Tool t shirt.  An actual dress shirt, aka, the sexy shirt.  (Does this ever happen?)
  • Whatever you were wearing prior to entering the bedroom.  Yes, apparently some people sleep in their clothes.  Their actual clothes that they have been wearing all day.
  • Weather appropriate pjs.  Be it flannel in the Winter, or little vest and shorts for the Summer.  They will of course always be a matching set.
  • A nightdress.  A ladylike one, preferably silky.
  • A nightie.  A long, shapeless t shirt, preferably with a cute picture on it.
  • Mis-matched pjs. But specific bedwear none the less. 
  • Vest and knickers.  Hopefully fresh!
  • Loungewear. Or old comfy clothing.  Sweatpants, husband's t shirt, your university t shirt.

Now some of the crew are adament that they wear what they wear to bed, and this never changes.  Hotel, hospital, staying at a relatives.  They will not 'dress up' for bed.  Other members of the Beauty Crew recalled last minute nightdress purchasing before going into labour, or the stress of what pyjama sets gave a suitable "effortlessly cool and sexy" vibe for their first proper sleepover with their boyfriend.

So what do you wear to bed?  Does anything prompt you to change your bed outfit?  Do you go for comfort or style? 

The Beauty Confessional is once again open!

Since I was a teen it's always just been underwear on the bottom half and that's it. Bathrobe for middle of the night toilet trips, and if I'm staying over At a friends house I have a few old tees and either shorts or my one pair of long bottoms if it's extra chilly. I'm a creature of habit and I'm far too lazy to do extra laundry for pyjamas

At the moment it's summer and for the first time in yonks I did sleep nude. Only because for some reason the heat is really effecting me this year.

In winter I'm a full on trackies, socks a million blankets and an electric blanket lol.

In spring and autumn I like leggings and t shirts or long sleeve shirts :) and socks. lol

I wear lovely nighties. There is nothing nicer than getting ready for bed and slipping into something pretty. In the winter I tend to cover up a bit more..but cant wait for the warmer weather to bring out the pretties again

I am a cute pj person. When I see a sale on cute pjs, I stock up and then don't buy any for a few years. My favourite pj top says "peace, love and lipgloss." Pretty much my ideal pj top, especially as its in a stylish black. I think I have gone to bed in most of these at my boyfriend's place though.

I wear underwear and a singlet usually. I don't really like wearing pants in bed cause they annoy me. I like to have lots of blankets and warm sheets because I don't like to be cold but don't want to wear warm clothes!

The onesies. I think there neat as. Winter ones were a hit for many and now the summer ones are just as awsum too. I love my pj's and sleep time just feels the best in my jarmies. And I love going to bed smelling like the Lux soft petal body wash. Absolutely love being comfy at sleep time.

I used to wear weather appropriate pj's (yes matching top and bottom) but now that I am with my partner it's just knickers. He hates the feel of the pj's touching him and prefers skin but I do occasionally sneak on the jammy bottoms if i'm cold lol

I wear a singlet and boy leg undies. Comfort based, although I kind of think it fits into the 'cute' category..... I have pj pants for winter. Need them for any get-up-to-kid nights

Ima a knickers and vest girl personally.....vest though?? I'm a mum who breastfeeds so it's my knickers and feeding singlet for me :)

Always a nightie, I get very hot at night and having my feet and legs free always keeps me cool.

Nothing for me and still got my perfume on. The only time I wear a nightie (and not to bed, only when I get up) is if I am staying at someone else place, for a bit of decorum. I only have the one nightie, a very lovely Peter Alexander one which has lasted for years due to lack of use.

I'm a nightie kinda girl! Summer weight nightie or Large size t-shirt, or long sleeve winter weight button through nightie. Can't stand long pj pants they are suffocating and restricting.

Singlet and cotton knickers for me all year round. If the temp gets above 15 degrees at night then usually starkers....mind you have adopted just wearing knickers in fear there will be another major quake here in chch as don't want to be seen standing in the doorway in my birthday suit!

I wear the sheets, does that count? Oh, and freshly brushed hair. Its a bit chilly in winter, but soooo good when the sheets are new on the bed!

3rd December, 2014

I love silky nightdresses and have worn them to bed for many years. I have a pair of silk PJs to wear on chilly nights and to take for a weekend away. Silk feels lovely at night, especially when the sheets are clean on fresh from the line! Couldn't do the nude bit because of burglars etc, as per other people! Grutts is a new word for me; when I first came to NZ it was grundies or grunds but only boys wear those. Knickers in bed is definitely not an option and as for the laziness of going to bed in clothes - UGH!
