Inspiration | Summer Sleepwear So Pretty You Can Wear it All Day
It’s hot and I’m dreaming of diaphanous clothing that I can just drift through the day in. Sets and dresses I don’t have to think about. Things that reflect the dreamy time of year when we value elements that are relaxed, simple, just a bit undone.
Luckily, with many working from home, and a new emphasis on comfort in fashion, we’ve seen so many beautiful brands offer clothing that walks the line between loungewear and daywear. If, like me, you’re inspired to experiment a little along this boundary, here are a few pieces that seem full of possibilities.
1.
the Grampa Check Set
By Deiji Studios
Wear the shorts over your black maillot to the pool. Throw the top over jeans. Or roll out of bed, pair your best slides with the set, and call it a day. It’s a thousand outfits in one and it’s in my cart.

The Orelle Nightgown
By Dôen
Sleep like a princess. Then throw on ballet flats, tie a denim jacket around your waist and head out to brunch.
3.
the Organic Tencel Set
by Mate the Label
I have several sets from Mate because they are just so soft. I wore this one to sleep-away camp with my family this summer, and when the bells rang from the dining hall for breakfast, I just slipped out of my sleeping bag, threw on a denim shirt, baseball cap, and Birkenstocks and no one was the wiser because dang, I looked cute.
4.
the Washable Silk Set
by Lunya
I’ve been saving up for this one since my girlfriend wore it to a ladies weekend in Bolinas. She looked like a Hollywood starlet from the golden age, only cool and modern. With the right jewelry, this goes to a dinner party.

the Washable Silk Set
by Quince
Washable silk on a budget that creates perfect separates. That silk tee will be gorgeous with trousers for work. Or just save them for evenings as a reward for a workday done.
6.
the Anjuli Nap Dress
by Hill House
It’s a nap dress. You’re basically required to take a nap. Wake up refreshed (and dressed) just in time for cocktail hour on the veranda. You don’t have a veranda? Let’s fix that.

the Wide Leg Pima Set
by Cuyana
You’re wearing this to our first client meeting. We’re designing your new organic-modern kitchen.
I’m wearing this to our first client meeting under a blazer. We’re designing a custom dining set for your home with an artisan woodworker.

the Marta Dress
by Ozma
This is a dress, but when you’re in Mallorca you wear it to dinner, to the beach, to the market, and to bed. You’re one of those women who looks great living out of a carry-on and always has room in her suitcase to bring home vintage ceramics from flea markets.
10.
the Zurich Linen Set
by Asceno
Color-drenched happiness. The top is basically a summer jacket. The shorts will look amazing with all of your button-ups. Just add sunglasses and sandals.
