Nightware wakes up

The nightwear as outerwear trend

By: Rayne Fisher-Quann

Wake up and smell the coffee — nightwear isn’t just for sleeping anymore. Cool girls have been wearing lingerie as outerwear since the ’90s and the provocative trend is coming back in a big way. The simple colours and soft, frilly fabrics of your favourite undergarments are better than ever when paired with chunky boots and an oversized jacket. Even elevated shapewear is taking a front-and-centre role in the fashion mainstream (a bodysuit under baggy jeans is a can’t-miss combo).

It might seem like a trend built for the hot, summer months, but these fabrics are so lightweight and simple that they’re as layerable as your heart desires. Bulk up satin accents with lots of knitwear or tuck them under a puffer jacket for an ethereal winter vibe.
