Nightwear Guide: How to Choose the Perfect Nightdress, Pyjamas or Shorty
Nightwear is often the forgotten corner of the lingerie wardrobe. We carefully choose our everyday bras and then pull on an old t-shirt for bed. Yet what you wear to sleep has a genuine impact on sleep quality, thermal comfort and how you feel the next morning.
This guide helps you choose the right nightwear for your style, habits and the season with a complete tour of the Valege Spring-Summer 2026 nightwear collection.
1. The Main Categories of Nightwear
The Nightdress
The most versatile piece of nightwear. It covers without constraining, lets the body breathe and can be worn alone or with a matching kimono or shorty.
Valege's SS2026 nightdress collection is particularly rich: Virgin (satin polyamide with lace, 8 colours), Virginia (long satin nightdress in Ivory and Black), Vedette (polyester with floral lace in Ivory), Verity (flower print), P-Fame (satin in red or sunshine yellow with kimono), Riviera (polyamide in Sky Blue and Navy)...
💡 For a summer nightdress: opt for polyamide — lighter and more breathable than viscose. Valege's Virgin collection uses 100% polyamide for exceptional softness.
The Pyjama Set
The classic pyjama — top and trousers — is the most comfortable option for deep sleep. It maintains a constant body temperature and offers maximum freedom of movement.
Valege offers several pyjama sets for SS2026: Davina (zip-up top + trousers, Glacier), Yoggi (ribbed jumper + trousers, Sky Blue), Verone (nightdress + top + trousers in navy or sunshine yellow), V-Chouchou (floral printed satin).
The Shorty and Night Top
Ideal for summer nights or those who run hot. Sweet (Valege) offers a jacket + shirt dress + shorty in sky blue stripes — perfect for warm nights.
The Kimono
Worn equally well for sleeping and for a relaxed morning at home. P-Fame offers a nightdress + kimono duo in red satin or sunshine yellow. Natty offers a kimono + shorty set in terracotta.
2. Which Fabric for Nightwear?
Polyamide + elastane: ultra-soft, slightly stretch, breathable — Virgin, Riviera, Verone (top)
Satin polyester: accessible luxury feel, very fluid — P-Fame, V-Chouchou, Virginia, Verity
Fleece polyester/viscose: cosy comfort, thermoregulating — Davina, Yoggi
Lightweight polyester: ultra-light for hot nights — Vedette, Verity
3. Which Style for Your Profile?
You sleep hot
A lightweight polyamide nightdress (Virgin) or a shorty + top in breathable technical fabric (Sweet). Avoid thick or fleece materials for summer.
