However, silk being a natural fabric may permit breatheability.
Size matters: Wear a size that allows free and unrestricted movement to your body parts. A loose fitting sleepwear promises more comfort and ease. Afterall, it's your bedroom where you can wear something that ensures your comfort first.
Design matters: Wear simple. Wear a design that has no extras to it. Avoid all embellishments, unless you are on a date. See to it that your nightwear doesnot feature too much of pockets, flaps, frills etc. The extra fabric or the extra feature might be a problem. See to it that there are no seams or minimal seams.
Season matters: Wear cottons to combat the summer heat, particularly if you live in a tropical country. You can wear nylons or thermal fabrics during winters. Polysters may prove to be quite warmer. So, wear accordingly. |
