Most of the year, we count ourselves firmly in Camp Pyjama when it comes to nightwear. For a spell of a few weeks over the summer, however, we switch our allegiance wholesale to the nightie. Cool, breezy and airy, they are just the thing for hot summer nights – and, thanks to the fact that there are so many lovely examples floating around, many are good enough to roll out of bed in, slip on a pair of sandals and meander straight to the shops for the papers and fresh croissants of a lazy Sunday morning. We love these light and lovely beauties for a cool night’s sleep.
