Before you scoff and say, "A nap dress? You mean a nightgown?" hear me out on this one.
Nap dresses are taking social media by storm, and for good reason: they're soft, comfy, and the perfect thing to take a quick... three-hour or so nap in.
Are they just nightgowns for a new generation, or are they a whole new thing? Let's find out.
I have chronic fatigue, which means I have to nap a LOT. This means I'm extremely good at it. The most important tip I can give you? Don't nap in clothes you wear to do busy stuff. Differentiate your outfits to get your brain into the nap zone.
The phrase "nap dress" was trademarked by luxury bedding brand Hill House Home just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
So, as you can imagine, the nap dress took off in a big way in 2020.
In fact, most nap dresses look like normal summer dresses!
Hill House Home designed them to be comfy, light dresses that you can wear out and about. No one will know you're wearing a dress you can nap in.
From long skirts to short, the nap dress comes in a ton of different styles for you to roll out of bed and into the car in.
And for good reason. With everyone locked indoors, working from home, and generally not allowed to do anything, it makes sense that we would skip out on glam in favor of being comfy.
Hill House Home offers sizes from XXS-2X. I definitely think there's room for improvement there — it would be nice to see at least a 3X in their line.
See, the nap dress isn't a nightgown, and that CRUCIAL distinction is a source of hilarity for a lot of people. We've had a weird few years, you guys.
For a mere $75, you too can wear a dress that takes you from day to night! I'd usually use leggings for that, but that's just me.
I'm all for feeling comfortable at all times, so I'm for it. However, I can totally see how people think the whole nap dress versus a nightgown is goofy as hell.
