Unless you’re actively starring in a Werther’s Original commercial or hosting tea for your quilting circle, there’s really no reason to be wearing a nightgown that looks like it survived the Great Depression. And yet, the sleepwear section is still crawling with offensive floral prints, weird lace collars, and nighties that scream “Gertrude wore this while making pot roast in 1953.” We deserve better.
Thankfully, actual cute non-grandma nightgowns are having a full-on fashion moment. Think less bedtime, more ballet flats and shoulder bag on the way to overpriced iced matcha. It’s giving early-2010s throwback energy (hi, Lilo at a 2007 red carpet) with a 2025 refresh — meaning you can now wear something slinky, strappy, and borderline sheer outside the house without anyone asking if you’re okay.
What I love about this trend is that, not only can you finally retire that stained frat tee you stole from your freshman year roommate and have been rocking for, well, longer than you look (thanks, Botox), if you actually wanna wear these to bed. But you also get to look low-effort hot in something that’s secretly comfortable. Whether you’re heading to brunch, a blurry date, or just seducing yourself in the mirror before bed, there’s a nightie for that.
Scroll on for the cutest, comfiest, most non-geriatric nightgowns you can buy right now—and yes, you can wear them outside. Grannycore? Never heard of her.

The Best Nightgowns For Every Vibe
Homebodii Sian Slip
It’s satin, it’s size-inclusive, it comes in a bunch of colors — and it makes you look like you have your life together, even if you’re eating dry cereal in bed. What more do you want???
By Anthropologie Lace Godet Maxi Slip Dress
It’s a nightgown, it’s a dress, it’s a “wait, where’d you get that?” moment. Wear it to bed or out, depending on the vibe (and who’s around).
Ekouaer V-Neck Chemise
This one’s not trying to win awards, but it’s comfy, cute, inexpensive, and ships in like two days. The kind of gown you’ll end up reaching for way more than you’d admit, during all hours of the day.
Revelry All Nighter Satin Sleep Dress
The name is All Nighter, and honestly? She delivers. Great for sleep, better for getting ready pics, and dangerously good at convincing you to have juuuust one more drink.
Natori Enchant Lace Applique Chemise
Looks like something you’d find draped over a penthouse chaise lounge. Soft, delicate, and just indulgent enough to make it feel like you’re underpaying (Bible).
Ekouaer Button Down Sleepshirt
If oversized and off-the-shoulder is your whole personality, this one’s for you. It’s the kind of nightgown you “accidentally” wear all day.
Revelry All Nighter Satin + Feathers Sleep Dress
Whether you’re a bride or just main character enough to act like one, this feather-trimmed gown straight up demands attention. Bedroom optional.
Cosabella Never Say Never Semi-Sheer Foxie Chemise
This is what you wear when you want to look innocent from far away but start problems up close. Just enough lace to keep things interesting, and barely enough coverage to call it a nightgown.
Papinelle Talia Lace-Front Maxi Nightgown
It’s giving French countryside virginal ghost, but, like, hot, and like you still need to be able to chase your phone across the bed at 2 a.m.? Pair it with a leather jacket and some boots for the perfect date-night look.
Kabento Sleeveless Chemise
I know we said floral nighties were dated, but! This one doubles as a sundress and feels like something you’d wear in a beach-read affair with a mysterious neighbor, so we’re letting it slide (riiight into our carts).
Clementine Sleepwear Organic Silk T-Shirt Dress
Am I wrong, or is this giving off a whole MILF/morning after aura? Like, yes, you drink moon water, own linen napkins, and definitely don’t scream into a pillow every day, TYVM.
Ekouaer Racerback Sleeveless Nightgown
The ideal “oops, I slept over” nightie that also works for hungover debriefing brunch with your friends the next morning.
Eberjey Mariana TENCEL™ Modal Chemise
Soft enough to sleep in, supportive enough to feel cute, and sexy enough to leave your options open.
Gap Pointelle PJ Slip Dress
Yes, it’s floral, but the print is tiny and the cut is sleek enough to pass as minimalist if anyone asks (but why would they?), and it’s so soft you’ll have a hard time not wearing it every night. Oh, and it’s on sale! So kind of a sleeper hit, tbh.
Bluebella Topaz Long Chemise Black
If “don’t test me” were a nightgown. We’re talking dominatrix-who-reads-poetry, looks like you own a candle-lit dungeon but in a tasteful way kind of thing.
Intimissimi Silk Slip with Lace Insert Detail
This is the kind of nightie that makes you feel expensive even if your dinner was just reheated pasta and a lukewarm glass of wine.
Plus A Few Nighties If You Want To Wear Them Tradish (Like, To Bed)
Avidlove Lace Babydoll
Comes in 40+ colors, goes up to 5X, and costs less than your Uber Eats iced latte. Cute enough for date night, comfy enough to make pregnancy feel sexy.
Bluebella Clementine Teddy
Not technically a nightgown, but it’s comfy enough to sleep in *and* hot enough that you probably won’t be in it for long.
Skarlett Blue Siren Babydoll
This is the one you wear when you want something sheer and pretty that’s still adjustable and won’t fall apart after one wash. Oh, and the whole “it’s on sale” thing is just another reason to buy it in both colors.
