Silly pajama patterns...

nzwyck — Fri, 03 Aug 2018 14:10:31 GMT

Many pajamas, nightgowns and home dresses have such silly and goofy patterns on them. Please....give us a nice clean looking garment without those patterns. I don't know what those patterns are suppose to do but make you look silly. I prefer classic clean look for mom. I have a very hard time getting nightwear for my mom. She doesn't want to look childish with patterns.

Carole Hockman usually has some patterns that are not goofy or silly.

I like whimsy especially on sleepwear. I love long night shirts, think knee length Ts. I get them in all cotton at Walmart. They wash & dry beautifully and make me smile. Many can be worn as bathing suit coverups. Right now I am wearing one that is covered in flip flops.

I've gotten nice ones that mom loves from the Vera Bradley collection at Kohl's...one was cotton with some poly/stretch for softness, comfort, (and fyi, mom used to only wear 100% cotton but she loves these.) It was pretty-light gray with thin lilac strips, cap short sleeves, very simple. Another black with ivory trim...pretty lines, feminine, flattering, comfy, classic looks. Carole Hockman also another good choice. You can sometimes find Carol Hockman at TJ's & Marshall's also. And Aria is another nice brand from TJ's & Marshall's too. HTH!

I think they do that so you won't be as tempted to wear them 'out' in public.

Lots of their fabrics are nicer than the tops you can buy!

I agree. I don't care for goofy designs on nightwear.

I don’t mind a good mixture of nightwear. Whimsical included.

This has very little to,do with the original post but it made me think of my dear mom who passed a few years ago. A year prior to her passing, my dad died. My mom had a slight issue with dementia but not enough for assisted living but enough that she couldn’t live alone.

My my four sisters and I took one week a month for a year and stayed at her home caring for her. One of my sisters always bought her beautiful nightgowns with matching robes, she looked so beautiful in them and it made her feel like a queen. I slept in sweats and gym shorts, and she always give me “sideways eyes” in the am.

I miss my mom

Oh phooey! Life is too serious and we all need some things to make ud laugh and feel better What more appropriate place than on our home wear? Everything we wear doesn't have to be some statement - just have some fun with it.

I don't mind a little fun when it comes to designs on sleepwear. When my mom was in assisted living, then a nursing home, those knee length sleep shirts from Walmart were perfect for her.

The designs were a topic of conversation. I remember one that had tiny sheep on it, implying it was bedtime and the wearer would become sleepy. I own the one with flip flops on it. These designs are whimsical and remind me not to take all things seriously.

I love cheerful, whimsical prints on pajamas and sleepwear! No one sees them but me and my husband and he thinks they are cute! They are pretty, conservative, se*y, etc items of sleepwear out there, also. I look forward to shedding my work clothes every day and putting on my big assortment of colorful and patterned sleep and lounge wear. They make me happy!!!

My daughters and I love goofy pj's! We give them as gifts to each other every Christmas! Boring pjs not allowed! There is a cataglog we get, I think it is Pajamagram or something like that. Love the unusual and fun prints.

Carole Hochman has pretty ones that don't have whimsical designs. Sometimes I can't resist the silly patterns - like pj's with cherries on them for our cherry picking trip up north.

I’m a yes vote for fun, whimsical, even silly, pj prints. I’m a huge animal lover, especially cats, so, of course, I have some kitty pj’s.

I love to have fun, relax and not take myself so seriously, all the time!

Try Sears or Penney's. Classic styles and far inexpensive than the Q. Also, the Vermont Country Store also has a good selection of pjs.
