The nightwear brands in our selection

Many catalogues dispatch this chapter with just a few seasonal references. The pajama brands in our selection, on the other hand, come from lingerie and approach pajamas with the same standards of patterning and material as their daytime collections.

What a lingerie brand changes about nightwear

Three differences become apparent through use. First, the choice of materials: a combed cotton or modal instead of ordinary jersey, which you can feel from the first night and it gets confirmed after twenty washes. Then, the construction of the tops, with inserts or lined cups where a generic pajama relies on a t-shirt. Finally, the size range, as these brands offer their lines well beyond the central sizes. This is what separates a luxury women's pajama brand from a basic range.

Choosing a pajama brand based on the season

Night ranges are built more by season than by style. The same women's pajama brand generally offers a summer line in lightweight cotton or satin, just as it offers its men's pajama brand line, and a winter line in flannel or fleece, on the same patterns. Sticking with a well-known pajama brand allows you to repurchase from one season to the next without trying on a size again.

The three night brands in our selection

Admas brings Spanish cotton and prints that last through the seasons. Selmark approaches nightwear with the patterning of a corsetry house, which is visible in the shoulder fit. Lisca does the same while also covering robes and dressing gowns. All three have in common treating nightwear as a collection, rather than an extension of daytime lingerie.
