Nylon Nightgowns for Men

It seems that nylon nightgowns for men may be a thing of the past. If you search for them, you'll still come up with numerous hits for women's nightgowns, but not men's. You'll even stumble across confessional blogs where men speak of wearing women's nightgowns instead.

If you search for "nylon nightshirts for men," you're more likely to pull up better Google results than if you search "nylon nightgowns for men." Perhaps it's because the term "nightgown" is more often associated with women's lingerie, while a nightshirt, basically the same thing, is considered a more masculine moniker.

The terms nightshirt and nightgown aren't always interchangeable because sometimes nightshirts come as part of a two-piece set (ome include pants and some include shorts). Keep that in mind while you shop and make sure that the "shirt" you're looking at is long enough to stand alone. Here is an example of a nylon sleep suit from JCPenney. Unfortunately, the shirt isn't long enough to be worn comfortably without the bottom piece.

Again, you may have a hard time finding nylon styles in lieu of seersucker, cotton, flannel and other blends. Finding the perfect nylon nightgown for men can become quite a feat!

Who doesn't want to slip into something comfortable at the end of the day? That goes for men as well as women. Nylon's silky, soft, and slippery. It offers ease of movement and inspires relaxation--perfect for lounging as the sun goes down. It's also cheaper than silk, though the comfort level is almost the same. If you decide to sleep in your nylon pajamas rather than just lounging around in them, they can make sliding around on the sheets even easier.

Another thing that's great about nylon is you can enjoy it in the summer or the winter. In the summer, you can put on a knee-length nylon nightgown with short sleeves and enjoy the freedom of airflow and the cool fabric against your skin. In the winter, combine that same nightgown (or a nightshirt in a shorter length with long sleeves) with nylon pants for a warm, cozy pajama set, perfect for wearing in front of the television while you sip hot chocolate before bed.

As with most types of lingerie, there are pros and cons to nylon nightgowns. In many cases, it doesn’t matter if you're male or female when it comes to this type of sleepwear. The ease (or lack) of movement is still there, as is the difficulty of shopping for something so specific in a day and age when nylon nightgowns seem outdated.

Since it's still easier to find nylon nightgowns for women, men may want to shop around either online or in department stores for unisex styles.

For some reason, it's easier to find men's nightgowns in materials other than nylon. There's flannel, as seen here (maybe it's more "manly"?), and cotton-poly blend (designed and marketed for hospital patients).

Going to Nextag.com could prove worthy of your time if you aren't set on nylon. They have a selection of price and style comparisons that covers everything from flannel to madras.
