The Night Shirt

When it comes to seduction, if I have to pull out all the stops, I’ll reach for my La Perla set. But to be quite honest, I’m not very good with the lace and frills. Unless I already happened to be wearing such things, I’m not going to pack them up for a sleepover because I’ll just end up feeling silly. Instead, I go for a subtler and, in my opinion, sexier approach – the guy’s shirt (or boxers). It’s chic, effortless and helps radiate that comfort and confidence that I think all men find sexy. I’m obsessed with this look!

But just in case your man hands you his torn college t-shirt instead of his pressed and starched work shirt (or if you’re in between boyfriends), just head to Claridge + King for their version of what I consider a bedtime staple. The nightshirt from Claridge +King is made specifically for you; the tailoring resembles a man’s shirt, but is made for a woman’s body. It’s just (barely) long enough and falls in all the right places, just hinting at your curves. And if you’re actually planning on sleeping in it, it’s actually incredibly comfy and so cozy if you just take it out of the dryer.

I’ve been wearing mine nonstop around the apartment even without a man to impress. Shirts start at $89 and are available on the Claridge + King website.
