It's Too Hot for Pajamas, so I'm Stocking Up on Short Nightgowns

Hot summer nights are not a problem for everyone. This I know. But they are, in fact, a problem for me. I live in L.A., where some evenings don't cool down enough to bring relief from the 95-degree day. I also don't love running the air conditioning all night long. (Yes, I'm one of those earth lovers.)

Historically, I've been a lover of pajama sets, and I own a more than I care to admit. Lately, though, I haven't been able to sleep through the night in the shortest of pairs, which is why I've turned to short nightgowns. It may seem like they have the same amount of fabric as a cami and shorts, but there's a significant difference: Nightgowns allow my body to breathe.

The best part about nightgowns? They come in so many varieties. From silky slips and lacey chemises to cotton sleep shirts and babydoll dresses, they meet whatever need, mood, and occasion you may have, every night of the week. Even if you run that AC all night long, I promise you'll still love waking up in a pretty sleep dress. Here are 27 of my favorite short nightgowns on the market right now, so you, too, can experience the luxury of a flowy dress made for bed.

Why not bring the puff-sleeve trend to the bedroom?
This jersey slip looks so comfortable and doesn't skimp on the cute detailing. I love those delicate straps.
Another comfortable nightdress with a cute lacey detail.
Back detailing is where it's at.
I love this subtle see-through slip. The side buttons are too cute for words.
For when you want to look sexy in a bold hue.
This babydoll is giving me serious Blair Waldorf vibes.
I have this dream of only owning silk sheets and silk pajamas—nightgowns included.
Not all nightgowns have to be flirty.
This lace bodice is so pretty and the color options for this slip are almost endless!
I repeat: Don't underestimate the power of a comfy nightgown!
I got endless sexy options here, too. And don't sleep on the matching shorts!
Psst—this nightdress has pockets.
Another silk nightgown to add to the collection.
An affordable satin option.
Babydoll cuts are perfect for easy summer sleeping.
I love how the lace bodice extends into the back on this ice-blue chemise.
Sheer white lace is such a classic look for a nightgown. Cosabella also has cute hotpants that match this chemise.
Can you believe this pretty red chemise is only $12?
Eberjey makes the loveliest sleepwear, and this lacey cotton chemise is no exception.
Count on Free People to make a body-skimming slip I'd actually want to wear for bedtime.
This all-cotton slip can be worn to bed or underneath a sheer dress. Two-in-one options mean you're getting more mileage out of your money, and I think we can all appreciate that.
TMI: When I put on a flowy tiered dress like this, I dust off the few ballet moves I still have and dance around my apartment. Maybe not the best before-bed wind down, but it makes me happy.
I love the cowl neckline and ruffled seam at the bottom of this slip.
Ooh la la, these bows are cuter than cute!
I know I can sleep through the night in a flowy cotton nightgown like this one.
Leaving you with the prettiest lacey number, and it comes with a matching thong.

Up next, I gave myself a budget for summer shopping, and these 25 on-sale items made the cut.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
