The long gown that is lovingly referred to as ‘nighty’ is popular among Indian women as a comfortable loungewear.

A nighty is a highly versatile dress that can be adapted to any situation – whether you are doing house chores or relaxing at home or when you go to bed at night.

In short, a nightie is not just a sleep wear, it is a multi-purpose dress that helps women attend to their work in comfort and freedom.

Won’t you like to look charming in your nighty at any time of the day or night? Read on to find out how you can make the most of a dress that has outgrown its tag as a nightdress and has become an integral part of a typical Indian woman’s life.

1. Keep Separate Nighties for Day and Night.

Gone are the days when one used the same nightie for the day and night. You could choose the right one for the day according to what you do during the day.

For example, if you are into hardcore household work, dealing with oil and masalas, then you could wear dark-coloured gowns with or without prints.  This will ensure that stains of oil, turmeric, etc that fall on the nighty is not easily visible.

On the other hand, if you are not doing any heavy household chores that make you sweaty and grimy, you can opt for a light-coloured floral-printed dress.  You could wear a full-sleeved housecoat with elegant designs or a churidar nighty that looks like a long kurta.

Remember to change into a fresh nighty when you go to bed.  Comfort is the key here. You can choose a sleeveless one, a short nighty that goes up to only the knee length or a chemise.  You can also choose a nighty made of lace or just a plain cotton one that is loose enough to give you a good, relaxed sleep.  Nighties in pastel colours with embroidery work on them will look good at night too.  Floral patterns and frills definitely will add to the charm.

2. Choose the Right Fabric.

You are a unique person and take this into consideration while dressing yourself, be it a nighty or any other dress.  What makes you comfortable and happy while wearing and what fabric gives you discomfort? Also, some fabrics that look good on others may not look good on you.  Choose the right fabric that complements your body and also gives you comfort.  If you can carry off satin, you could snuggle into a beautiful satin nighty that hugs your body.  If you are comfortable with cotton, go for it.  If you can’t choose for yourself, never hesitate to get a friend’s opinion.

3. Wear a Nighty that Fits You.

Most of the time, women do not bother to alter a nighty to fit correctly to their body. The ‘logic’ seems to be, anyway it is just something that is worn at home, so why bother about shape and size. Do you want to walk around like a coat hanger? I am sure you don’t. An oversized nighty can also be cumbersome and be a hindrance while you are doing your chores. So be sure to stop over to the nearest tailor and get the required alterations done. Sure, nighties are supposed to be a little bit loose-fitting and that is fine. But if it is too loose, making it fit well will make you look elegant and charming.

4. Wash Your Nighties Daily.

Washing your used nighties on a daily basis is necessary to keep your nighty fresh.  Add a few drops of fabric conditioner too and enjoy the fresh fragrance while you wear the dress every time.  Remember, when you are wearing a nighty for a few hours at a stretch, it is going to absorb all the sweat and start to get smelly.  Wearing a dress that is fresh keeps your mind fresh too!

5. Iron Your Nighties.

You wear neatly ironed clothes when you go out, but do you iron your nighties after washing? If not, start ironing the nighties before wearing them.  Especially the cotton nighties tend to get crumpled and creased while washing and drying.  Ironing them before wearing them will make you all ready for the day!

6. Never Wear a Faded Nighty!

This is one mistake many women make!  The nightgowns are worn regularly and hence washed again and again and tend to get faded after some time.  However, you may feel that after all you wear it only at home, it is okay if it is a bit old-looking or faded.  It is a big NO here, because if you want to look pretty in a nighty, you have to let go of your old nighty!

Bottom Line

The trends of nighties are here to stay, and in the future, it is going to see more evolutions for sure. If you could follow the above tips, you could always look fresh and proper in a nighty, no matter if it is a day or night!
