After Dark: A Dark Feminine Guide to Spring Sleepwear

From vintage-inspired nightgowns to oversized bat robes, these pieces make midnight feel like a dress code

By: The Lace Ledger Staff

We respect the humble concert tee. It has carried many of us through late nights and questionable television choices.

Still, there are evenings that call for something slightly more interesting. A true-crime marathon deserves better. So does a smutty paperback, a midnight snack, or a last-minute girls’ night that somehow ends with someone opening a second bottle of wine.

We’ve curated a dark feminine sleepwear edit for evenings that deserve better styling.


Pajamas: The Reckoning

Can’t decide whether tonight calls for Victorian ghost or newly widowed socialite energy? Best to keep both looks on hand…

Consider this your cue to browse the edit, where Jaki leans spectral, Till Blush of Night romanticizes the inevitable and labels like Catherine D’Lish, Witchwood, Lively Ghosts, Popflex Active, Londre Bodywear and Sinin Linen ensure you’re covered for every possible version of the evening.

Supporting Cast

The devil is in the details. In this case, literally … the hoodie has horns.

Shop the finishing layer through Laines London, Hellflower, Elle Rebel, Bonsai Kitten, God Save Queens, Catherine D’Lish, Sinin Linen and more, where the line between loungewear and main character energy vanishes into the night.


Of course, our beloved concert tees will always have a place in the sleepwear rotation. Still, a silk nightgown changes the mood of an evening immediately while a dramatic robe does the same thing for a midnight snack.
