Fashion in 2020 is all about comfort. Take, for example, one of the most popular trends in women's clothing, the nap dress. The stylish yet simple piece has made it easier for women to transition from lounging to working, rendering it a wardrobe essential.
So why can't men get in on the trend? According to Google Trends, searches for "mens nightgowns" have increased by more than 300% in the past 30 days. The new interest is partially due to a new Facebook challenge, where wives are sending their husbands a picture of a nightgown to gauge their reaction. While some men were against the idea, others seemed more keen, sending their size and color preferences. One Twitter user said "I am about to add to my shopping cart immediately. The comfort looks real."
For the man who is looking to switch up his bedtime apparel, the classic nightshirt — as many men like to refer to it — may be a good option. Women can also get in on the fun and purchase one for themselves. The styles have changed since the days of Ebenezer Scrooge (thank goodness), and the soft material and openness provide a level of freedom and comfort you won't get with your typical pair of pajama pants. Dare I even say you could rock the buttoned-up look for a Zoom, when no one will see below the waist?
If you're looking for a fun holiday gift or need a new comfortable wardrobe staple, here are options for both men and women to try.
