If cold, gray winter weather isn’t your thing, you’re not alone. Thousands of sun-seekers escape to warmer climates each year to enjoy outdoor activities, pool time with friends, and daily vitamin D.
If you’re one of these lucky ones preparing to leave winter behind, you may be starting your packing list. We’re here to help! Our first tip: leave all those heavy fabrics at home. Flannel in Florida? We think not! They may be cozy now, but you’ll want to relax in something cool and breezy there. While you’re at it, ditch the bargain bin pajamas, too. You deserve beautiful, quality sleepwear that makes you feel special every morning and night.
That’s precisely why we make Miss Elaine sleepwear and robes. Each luxurious garment is made with quality materials and easy-care fabrics for home or travel. They retain their beauty even after multiple washes…and airport baggage handlers.
Here are our top lightweight picks to pack for your winter escape:
Need-to-Pack Nightgowns
It feels like a vacation itself. The soft, silky knit is like butter on the skin - so we made it cover more skin with long sleeves! But don’t worry, the sleeves won’t trap heat with this lightweight fabric. It’s so stylish and flattering, too. It could easily pass for a dress if an unplanned guest arrives.
Silky Floral Long Nightgown
This nightgown is effortlessly pretty and feminine. The short sleeves, below-the-knee length, and silky knit fabric make it exceptionally comfortable, while the soft pastel flowers and lace neckline add romantic details. Available in many sizes from small to 3x - and in a shorter length!
Is it a nightgown, or is it a dress? No one has to know! This versatile beauty transcends sleepwear into loungewear with its modern floral print and practical pockets. Yes, a nightgown with pockets! It’s also made with soft, super-breathable, 100% cotton fabric and short sleeves for warm nights. Also offered in a shorter length with 3/4 length sleeves.
Ready-to-Jet Robes
You know as well as we do that robes are a must-have no matter the climate. You just need to find the right fabric and style!
For warm weather, seersucker is a great go-to. In fact, it was literally made for hot weather. This breathable cotton fabric has been a summer staple for centuries! We have multiple Miss Elaine seersucker robes in several different designs and sizes ranging from small to 3x. Here are a few of our favorites:
Classic preppy style meets warm-weather comfort. Short sleeves and snap closures provide maximum air flow, while the plaid design and embroidered neckline elevate it beyond the everyday.
Same fabric and similar embroidery, but different design. A longer length and 3/4-length sleeves provide more coverage, and the zipper closure and pockets provide convenience.
This robe has been a Miss Elaine favorite for years, and it’s easy to see why. With its simple (but not basic!) style and delicate embroidery, it makes a perfectly put-together look no matter what is underneath. Short sleeves, snap closures, light fabric, and two pockets keep it easy, cool, and comfortable. Available in two soothing colors: turquoise or lilac.
Very similar to its shorter sister but with more length and a zippered front. Great for those that get a little chilly inside no matter the temperature outside.
And if you prefer knit rather than seersucker, we have you covered ...
Short Interlock Knit Robe
Picture yourself sipping coffee on your patio or balcony in this gorgeous Miss Elaine robe. This knit robe exudes impeccable style and class with its artistic floral pattern and soft, breezy fabric. As the sun moves higher, you’ll be happy to have the shorter lengths - and pockets to keep your phone handy for pictures! Also available as a long robe.
Wherever you’re heading to escape the cold, we hope it is filled with special moments made in your Miss Elaine sleepwear.
