Long Nightshirts for Women – A Guide

Short answer: A long nightshirt gives you maximum freedom of movement while covering your thighs and knees, so you neither get cold nor feel exposed. In bamboo viscose it drapes softly around the body and keeps you dry and evenly warm all night.

Why choose a long style

The long nightshirt is freedom from tight waistbands: no trouser edge around your stomach and air around your legs, but still warmth over your thighs and knees. It also works nicely as a comfy garment in the morning. Have a look at the selection of bamboo nightdresses for women, where you will find both short and long styles.

Bamboo makes the difference

In bamboo viscose the nightshirt becomes silky soft and temperature regulating, so it is comfortable in both summer and winter. The fabric wicks sweat away, which you notice especially if you sleep warm. Read more in the complete guide to bamboo nightwear for women.

Style it for the season

In winter you can pair the nightshirt with warm bamboo socks for women, and in summer it stands nicely on its own. If you want a lighter layer under your clothes during the day, a bamboo slip is very close to the cut of a short nightshirt. See the rest of the selection under bamboo nightwear for women.
