As a stylist and someone who works in fashion, part of me enjoys getting all dressed in elaborate outfits. But on days when I work from home, writing celebrity news stories and shopping articles from my couch? My clothes tend to be on comfier side. I much prefer to slip on matching sweat sets and cute pairs pajamas instead of stiff jeans, and in recent months, even added cute nightgowns into my regular rotation.

Although I wore my fair share of nightgowns while growing up in the ‘90s (usually ones with a Disney princess theme), this loungewear option has seen a major update. The best nightgowns for 2024 include fun details like feathers or prints and feel a lot more like casual slip dresses. They’re comfy while still being cute enough to wear outside of the house, too. In fact, many of my favorite nightgowns make the perfect outfit for a casual day of running errands.

Ahead, I’m rounding up the best nightgowns for 2024, which I believe deserve a spot in your wardrobe.

Stars Above™ Women's Beautifully Soft Notch Collar NightGown
Sizes available: XS – 4X
Material: 95% Modal, 5% Spandex
Color options: 6
Pros: Some of the best nightgowns are actually labeled as nightshirts or shirtdresses. I love the ease that comes with buttoning up this design as well as its timeless, preppy feel. This piece is also super soft and comfortable, and many reviews point out how well it washes.
Cons: It may be less than $30, but some customers claim the fabric is kind of heavy, while others add that after washing it, it began unbuttoning too easily.

Sleeper Boheme Feather Trim Satin Nightgown
Sizes available: XS – XL
Material: 100% Lenzing™ EcoVero™ viscose with 100% feather trim
Color options: 3
Pros: This nightgown isn’t something you’ll need to change out of ahead of morning Zoom meetings. The feathers give things a fancy spin, and you can even get away with wearing it to formal events, too.
Cons: Even on sale, the price tag is a bit steep, and it’s not as comfortable or flexible as other options on the list. I’d consider it to be more of a loungewear pick (or even lingerie if you wish!) rather than true pajamas.

Eileen West Swiss Dot Long Sleeve Ballet Nightgown
Sizes available: XXS – XL
Material: 100% cotton
Color options: 1
Pros: When I hear the word “nightgown,” this is what comes to mind: a classic white maxi dress that, in many ways, looks fit for an American Girl doll. I love the sweet Swiss dot details and how it’s meant to be breezy and loose, allowing for lots of movement.
Cons: The material is a little sheer, so depending on who might see you in it, that might be a dealbreaker.

Ekouaer Long Nightgown
Sizes available: S – 4XL
Material: 35% Polyester, 5% Spandex, 60% Cotton
Color options: 17
Pros: If you’re looking for something mid-length that feels similar to an oversized T-shirt, here it is. This somewhat simple nightgown is easy to throw on, super comfortable to sleep in, and unlike comparable options, doesn’t come with a cheesy floral print. It’s a win all around.
Cons: Unfortunately, there are no pockets and not everyone is a fan of the material, which is a cotton blend.

Lanz of Salzburg Ballet Cotton Flannel Nightgown
Sizes available: XS- XL
Material: 100% cotton
Color options: 3
Pros: Another old-school-inspired design, this long-sleeved, flannel nightgown is perfect for cold, winter nights — and, ok fine, days, too. The vintage-looking Peter Pan collar is half of its appeal and the fact that it comes with pockets is just icing on the cake.
Cons: Some claim that this dress runs and little big and doesn’t shrink in the wash, so keep that in mind when selecting your size.

Lunya Washable Silk Racerback Tank Nightgown
Sizes available: XS- XL
Material: 100% silk
Color options: 2
Pros: If you tend to sweat while you sleep, Lunya is here to help you out. Not only is this nightgown sleeveless with buttons that can easily be unfastened, but it’s also thermoregulating, meaning it’ll keep you cool the whole night through. Plus, while it’s made of silk, it’s fully machine washable, so you won’t have to worry about taking it to the dry cleaner after the night is over.
Cons: You might not be able to justify spending over $100 on something so basic, and unfortunately, sizing stops at an XL.

Colsie Women's Velvet Slip Dress
Sizes available: XS- XL
Material: 93% Recycled Polyester, 7% Spandex
Color options: 3
Pros: Although this velvet slip dress looks kind of luxe at first glance, it’s roomy and oversized, making it better for its intended purpose (pajamas) rather than a going-out look. And, since the $20 price tag is pretty reasonable, you probably won’t mind dropping another $20 on the coordinating zip-up, creating a cute at-home ensemble.
Cons: Sizing ends at XL, which is a bummer.

Natori Zen Floral Caftan
Sizes available: XS – XL
Material: 65% modal, 35% polyester with 88% nylon, 12% spandex lace
Color options: 1
Pros: While technically a caftan, nothing is stopping you from slipping on this breezy design to go to bed. In fact, that kind of versatility is its main pro — you can rock this piece around the house, wear it as a coverup to the beach or pool, or take a note from caftan queen Angelina Jolie and rock it with sandals while running errands.
Cons: Black is the only colorway that’s available, which feels a little boring.

Lake Pajamas Pima Ruffle Nightgown in White
Sizes available: XXS – XXL
Material: 100% Pima cotton
Color options: 4
Pros: Due to the type of cotton that it’s made of, this tank top nightgown feels silky soft and is super comfortable to sleep in. Thanks to the ruffled detail up top, the simple design gets an interesting spin, and the elastic detail ensures that even if the straps slip off, this dress will stay in place.
Cons: It does run a bit large, so if you’re in between sizes, opt for the smaller one.

Victoria's Secret Cotton Sleepshirt
Sizes available: XS/S – XL/XXL
Material: 100% Cotton
Color options: 10
Pros: Although Victoria’s Secret is best known for its bras, underwear, and other lingerie, don’t sleep on its pajamas section. The brand’s cotton sleep shirt is essentially an elevated, less-worn version of the oversized tee you received from some event, thus giving your loungewear drawer a major upgrade. Plus, the VS logo gives off ’90s vibes in the best way.
Cons: This design may be too simple, and according to a few reviews, sizing can be inconsistent.

Hill House Home The Eyelet Caroline Nap Dress
Sizes available: XXS – XXL
Material: 100% Cotton
Color options: 3
Pros: Hill House Home’s nap dresses are a hot commodity, so it’s shocking to find one that’s still in stock. Just like most of its designs, this eyelet dress is extremely versatile. As one customer put it, “I wore it to dinner and then fell asleep in it, so really it’s the ultimate utility player of dresses.”
Cons: The white colorway makes this piece a bit see-through, so if you’re worried about walking around in something slightly sheer, it might not be for you.

The Drop Women's Claudia Cuddle Hoodie Midi Dress
Sizes available: XXS – 5X
Material: 52% Viscose, 28% Polyester, 20% Nylon
Color options: 5
Pros: If you enjoy keeping the room cold and bundling up while you sleep, same. So, rather than layering an oversized sweatshirt over your PJs, combine the two with this hoodie dress. While it’s cute enough to wear during the daytime, it’s also soft enough to help you achieve a good night’s rest. You’ll no doubt feel excited to cuddle up on the couch in this cute Snuggie alternative at night.
Cons: Should you start to sweat in the middle of the night, it’s not exactly something you’ll be able to easily remove.

Rubehoow Women's Victorian, Vintage Long-Sleeve Nightgown
Sizes available: S – 3X
Material: 95% rayon and 5% spandex
Color options: 5
Pros: Another classic nightgown, this floral pick gives off vintage, victorian vibes, especially thanks to the ruffles and tiny floral print. Somehow, it’s warm without being too heavy, which makes it a smart choice for winter or cooler, in-between weather. It also has pockets!
Cons: Despite its appearance, this nightgown is not made of cotton. So if you have skin that irritates easily, skip this one.

Free People All A Bloom Floral Maxi Nightgown
Sizes available: XS – XL
Material: 100% polyester
Color options: 1
Pros: You’re bound to have a hard time not showing this one off. In many ways, this floral printed maxi is reminiscent of Kate Hudson’s iconic dress from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Throw in the fact that it has elasticized straps and ties in the back for a more customized fit, and you’ll really feel like a movie star each time you slip it on.
Cons: Since this nightgown already hits the floor, it’s likely to look really long on petites.

Beyond Yoga Featherweight Soft Slumber Midi Sleep Dress
Sizes available: XS – 4X
Material: 94% Polyester, 6% Spandex
Color options: 3
Pros: Made with Beyond Yoga’s best-selling Spacedye fabric, this sleep dress lives up to its name. It’s so lightweight that it’ll almost feel like you’re wearing nothing, and it’s also moisture-wicking —a major draw for those who often wake up drenched. This piece even offers UV Protection, so if you’re someone who likes to sip their morning coffee outside or spend their day lounging around in last night’s look, you’ll be safe from harmful rays.
Cons: The straps aren’t adjustable, which stinks because they can be a bit long on some.
