Once the temperatures are consistently scorching, I abandon all sartorial efforts. I barely have the will to live, much less the energy to put on a cute outfit. As a result, I find myself blurring the pajama/clothing line. In other words, if I can get away with wearing a nightgown all day long — you bet I’m going to do it. Lately, I’ve been living in this surprisingly versatile 100% cotton nightgown from Amazon. Even better? According to our price trackers, it’s currently 25% off, dropping it to $15. In my opinion, that’s a no-brainer as we head into a literal heat emergency this week and next.

It’s soft, cooling and breathable — making it not just wearable, but bearable on the days I don’t want to wear anything at all.
Available in a bunch of colors and patterns in sizes S-XXL, this lace-trimmed nightgown is lightweight and breezy, but still structured enough to be considered “dress-like” when I venture out of doors. The solid color options are made of 100% cotton, while the printed nighties are made with polyester fabric. I own the solid candy blue hue, and can confirm that it feels cooling and comfortable against the skin. I can tell the quality of the cotton and the embroidery stitching is great because I’ve been wearing and washing it on repeat for months and it still looks brand new. I’ve long been a fan of the Victorian ghost child look, and can concur: the soft goth to granny-core pipeline is real!
As shopper TeeTime writes, “It’s like wearing nothing to bed!”
“I’ve dumped my old tees and tanks and bought 3 of these, white, blue, and yellow,” they wrote. “You can even wear a T-shirt over it and wear it out like a skirt…I have to stop myself from ordering more!”
And it’s approved by shorter wearers, like myself.
The dress has adjustable straps to ensure a perfect fit, and it provides just the right amount of coverage without being stifling.I am on the petite side, and it hits me right above the knee. The fabric doesn’t bunch up while I’m asleep, nor does the neckline get out of whack and leave me exposed, which just happens to be a huge pet peeve of mine.
Reviewer RM who is 5-feet tall, writes that most nightgowns drag on the floor or feel uncomfortably baggy to wear. “This Women’s Sleeveless Night Gown changed the game for me,” they wrote. “It’s finally one that feels made for petites without looking like kids’ sleepwear…Hits right at mid-thigh on me, which feels flirty and comfy—never rides up awkwardly or bunches at the hips.”
I have an extensive old timey-style nightgown collection that could be considered “excessive” by some. But this summer, the Ekouaer nightie has come out on top, besting even old favorites by pricier sleepwear brands. If it’s clean, I’m wearing it. In fact, I may buy some more in different colors while they’re on sale. Whether you wear it to bed or pair it with fun sneakers and a baseball cap to run errands, you’ll be glad you shelled out the 15 bucks on this item.
I’m not the only person besotted by this simple, yet charming nightgown. Take a look at what other nightie-devotees have to say about this dress, and pick one up for yourself while it’s on sale.
“Beautiful gown! Soft, light and airy for hot summer nights. Great quality! Did not shrink when washed. I’m in between s-m and small fit oversized. Would buy again!” — Jamie Tucker
“This nightgown is adorable, comfortable, and made of the lightest cotton. It’s like wearing nothing to bed! I’ve dumped my old tees and tanks and bought 3 of these, white, blue, and yellow. They’re sweet pastels..color is as advertised. Very well made! Straps are adjustable which is great for fit and length. You can even wear a T-shirt over it and wear it out like a skirt. It’s kind of thin, but so light in hot weather. I have to stop myself from ordering more! This company packages them well too! At 100% cotton and all of the above, it’s a great buy! Love these, love bedtime now!” — TeeTime
“I live in Florida where it’s hot all the time. These nightgowns are adorable. As a matter of fact I’ve purchased one in every color! The fabric is very soft, lightweight, roomy around the torso front and back and not constricting. I’m 5′5″ and weigh 140 lbs. and wear a 42 A bra. I’m larger on top meaning broad shoulders and long waisted. I ordered a large and it fits perfectly falling just below the knee. The arm holes fit where they should be but are adjustable. The fabric washes beautifully and retains the soft finish. I like to hang dry cotton nighties and take them out of the washer and hang immediately. They don’t wrinkle. Compared to higher priced nightgowns, these have become my summer favorites. Order now because demand goes up in the summer raising prices making it harder to find nice sleepwear. I’m satisfied.” — Joyce Cates

A loose-fit tee with matching cropped pants
It doesn’t get more classic than this lounge set, which includes a a drapey T-shirt and a pair of wide-leg pants that hit at the ankle. The lightweight fabric has four-way stretch for comfort, along with a drawstring waist and two convenient pockets on the pants. The shirt sleeves are also a little on the longer side if you don’t love the cap sleeve that a ton of lounge sets offer, stopping closer to the elbow. Find it in women’s sizes S-XXL and a bunch of monochromatic hues.
Promising review: “This set is so comfortable! It travels well and can be dressed up with jewelry and sandals. I have been able to wear it as the seasons changed by adding my denim jacket or a sweater. I always get compliments when I wear it, and I have shared the link with several friends. It is a favorite teacher outfit!” — LeAnn Barnette
Or a tee-and-shorts set with side slits in some bolder patterns (29% off)
Vacation is a great time to experiment with colorful patterns, and this lounge set makes it easy to create a cohesive look (though you can also grab this one in plenty of solids if you prefer). The tee, which is slightly long and can be worn that way or tucked in, comes with side slits for breathability, while the shorts have a drawstring waist and pockets. Plus, if you’re a little wary about the pattern being “too much” all together, you can wear each of these pieces separately, too (say, with a pair of denim shorts or a plain white shirt). Get the set in sizes S-XXL. It’s on a lightning deal for 29% off, so act fast!
Promising review: “I bought this for summer travel days. It fits true to size and is cute and comfy for long rides but when I get out I can still look out together. The fabric is comfortable, not heavy at all but also not see thru. I have the pink and you can’t see through it at all. I love this purchase!” — Deb
