The nightie holds a special place in the intimate wardrobe: it combines comfort, femininity, and powers of seduction without ever overdoing it. Discover our selection to find the style that suits you best.

The nightie: how does it work?

Unlike a bra or a bodysuit, the nightie is designed to graze the body without restricting it. Its straight or flared cut generally starts from the bust, held by thin straps or light underwire, and descends to mid-thigh or to the feet, depending on the chosen style. The most common materials are lace, satin, mesh, and voile; each interacts differently with transparency and drape.

What is less known is that the nightie accounts for about 30% of women's nightwear sales in Europe, making it the most purchased night garment, ahead of the classic pajama set. Its popularity is partly explained by its compatibility with many body types: an adjustable strap or an empire waist is often enough to adapt it, without requiring the precise fitting needed for a bra. If you wish to complete your intimate wardrobe, take a look at our Women's Lingerie collection for matching sets.

The different types of nighties

• Short babydoll: the most festive version, which stops high on the thigh; often paired with a matching thong, it focuses on lightness and transparency.
• Long nightie: falls to the ankles or mid-calf, in mesh or voile; it plays on an enveloping effect while remaining very airy.
• Lace nightie: thin straps, intricate floral or geometric patterns; the focus is on artisanal detail and shaping the bust.
• Satin nightie: fluid drape and soft shine; visually more understated, it appeals through its silky touch and elegant everyday look.

How to choose your nightie?

• Length based on usage: for a romantic night, a short babydoll is ideal; for mixed night/morning use, a mid-thigh or long length will be more comfortable.
• Material based on season: satin and voile are suitable for cool evenings, mesh and fine lace for milder nights.
• Size and support: check if the straps are adjustable and if the empire waist (under the bust) or bustier cut offers the support you need.
• Color based on the desired effect: black and red accentuate contrast and intensity; nude and white play on delicacy and softness.
• Pairing with other pieces: a nightie can be worn alone but is enhanced when paired with garters and stockings for a polished and cohesive look.
