The Case for Presentable Sleepwear + The Season's Best Styles | Chic Pajamas for Women + Budget Dupes

9:00 AM 7 Comments

Welcome back to The Daily Connoisseur. In our last post, we discussed why it's important to wear presentable undergarments. Today we are discussing sleepwear. Presentable sleepwear is a passion of mine. I love pretty pajamas! If you strive to look presentable in public everyday, you should also strive to look presentable at home... even if you live alone and no one sees you.



Today, I'm sharing my seasonal sleepwear guide with you and have pulled the season's latest styles from my favorite companies. All of the sleepwear I am showcasing is high-quality, high-end sleepwear, mainly from tried and tested brands that I am familiar with and have had excellent experiences with. 

Budget Sleepwear

If you are on a budget, however, and these do not fit in your price range, I did a lot of research and found nearly identical budget dupes. You can find all of those in the budget sleepwear section of my Amazon store

How to invest in sleepwear

How do you start to collect and invest in high-end sleepwear and still stay on budget? Because high-quality sleepwear can last for years, just start your collection by purchasing one a year. I generally allot for an update once a year and have done so for years. If you take care of your sleepwear by washing and storing it correctly, your sleepwear will last a long time. There will come a time, however, when you will need to throw your sleepwear away (or donate it if it is in usable condition). Make sure you read those cues and act accordingly. Don't hold onto sleepwear past its prime.  

The latest styles... which is your favorite? 

Let's take a look at some of the brands featured in today's video. Perhaps they can give you inspiration for the type of sleepwear you'd like to wear on a nightly basis. You can find my slipper recommendations in my Amazon store as well. 

The Lilysilk chic pajama set is their most popular, bestselling sleepwear item. Made of  100% 22 Momme Mulberry Silk, with contrast piping and mother-of-pearl buttons, this pajama set is luxurious and would make an excellent gift. Daily12 for 12% off

Lusome Lucienne Nightdress in Noir  LUSOME20 for 20% off The Lusome line is made from Xirotex, which is proven to eliminate night sweats and has an advanced moisture management technology. This is my favorite type of sleepwear. I love comfortable sleep shirts and nightgowns. I adore this one in particular. 


Lusome Luxe line with Xirotex  LUSOME20 - 20% off The Donna pajama runs big. Normally Medium pajamas fit well on me but this one is much larger. I would order true-to-size with this one. This is also made of Xirotex and prevents night sweats. A wonderful pajama set. 


Cami NYC is a luxury clothing line that is known for their beautiful lacy camisoles. They also have a capsule collection of silk sleepwear. This is sleepwear is extreme luxury and on the higher price range for those with a large budget. The silk is exquisite and feels so soft on the skin. 

Fleur't Intimates has very relaxed and casual sleepwear choices mixed with delightfully feminine ones. This cozy jogger with silk trim and relaxed top has a very modern silhouette and is so chic. FALLBEAUTY20 (20% off)


The Fleur't Iconic Chemise is not only beautifully constructed, but washable, wearable, and so comfortable. I've been a customer of Fleur't for decades as I love their iconic boy short. Their sleepwear is equally delightful. FALLBEAUTY20 (20% off) It's a great idea when thinking about building a sleepwear collection to buy things in the same style family. The robe, long nightgown, and chemise all go together nicely.


Rya Soleada Gown and Robe collection JEN4RYA 10% off  This gown and robe is available in gold and ivory in lustrous poly-charmeuse for easy care and wrinkle-free traveling. The Rya gowns are so unique because of their intricate embroidery details. The Rya robes and gowns are machine washable even though they look like they are dry clean only. I had great success washing mine at home on delicate... This style is for ladies who like fancier things in life and want their sleepwear to be a bit more dramatic... think Ginger Rogers. 

No sleepwear guide of mine would be complete without the Montelle Intimates Bust-Support Chemise  FALLVIBES20 (20% off) These chemises are truly delightful and come in a variety of colors. There is support and a thicker panel in the bust area which is one of the design's high-quality features. 

The Rya Swan Cover-up is always available in white and black, but often has seasonal colors available as well. JEN4RYA - 10% off This has three rows of Ostrich features that make for very graceful movements. This cover-up is machine washable.

Comment of the Week

Carolyn M. writes, "Perhaps my comment is a little odd but I wanted to share a story. Years ago I helped take care of my mother-in-law while she was dying of cancer. She and my father-in-law had always lived a simple and frugal lifestyle. When I had to help my mother-in-law get dressed I was blessed that she had nice underwear. Not fancy or expensive but pretty and fresh looking. It meant something of dignity and self-respect to me. She was not aware of it but I felt that she was still teaching me right up to the end."


Carolyn, what a beautiful story and observation. Thank you for sharing that with us.

The Case for Presentable Undergarments

6:37 AM 1 Comments


I would love to know... what is the state of your underwear drawer? Many times women focus on the outer garments in the quest to look presentable always. In today's video I make the case for presentable underwear too.



Why presentable? No one is going to see our undergarments, after all. Who cares what they look like?

Good undergarments are the foundation of a beautiful outfit. Wearing presentable underwear can be your delicious secret and really help elevate your confidence throughout the day.

Montelle Intimates and Fleur't both sent over their latest styles and the technology has come a long way! These undergarments are not only beautiful, but don't dig into the skin, don't pill, have no VPL (visible panty line) and give no wedgies (😆) Yes, that is their promise to you.

Of course, you can find presentable undergarments in many different places and at different price points, but we will use the ones I'm sharing today as a case study.

If you are interested in the undergarments I show today, use the code JENNIFER20 along with my links to receive 20% off at both Montelle Intimates and Fleur't.


This beautiful set is from Montelle Intimates in their Moonlight & Roses collection
Moonlight & Roses high-waisted panty is a work of art with the different coordinating laces. The design on this panty is not only beautiful, but functional as well.
Moonlight & Roses longline mystique bra is a gorgeous match. This bra does have a wire and offers a smooth (and non-protruding line) from cup, to lace, to strap.


Here we have the Wire-free tee shirt bra in almond spice. It's amazing that there is no wire on this bra as it has all of the engineering and support of a wire bra. With no lace, it's the perfect bra to wear underneath a smooth tee or blouse. The two matching panties for this bra are the Brief in almond spice and the Hipster in almond spice (pictured).


The Brazilian all-lace panty from Montelle Intimates gives the benefits of thong underwear (no pantylines) without the uncomfortable feeling. This culotte lace panty is beautiful and designed to be high-functioning as well.


Here we have the two different styles of the Fleur't iconic boy short. The high-waisted short is in white Chantilly (High-rise, tummy control, eco-friendly, buttery-soft, comfortable, no-piling- wash as much as you want - on gentle & hang dry, wedgie-free) and the standard iconic boy short is in Seashell (Low-rise, eco-friendly, buttery-soft, award-winning comfort, no-piling wash as much as you want - on gentle & hang dry, wedgie-free). I have worn this style for years and they are fabulous. The JENNIFER20 discount code works for Fleur't too.


Not pictured here is the High-waisted smoothing brief in black from Montelle Intimates. This could be the most functional and flattering of all of the underwear. I love how much coverage it gives while smoothing. The v-cuts on the legs give it a vintage vibe.

Also, I should mention that when it is "that time of the month" I use what is called a "period panty" such as this 3-pack on Amazon.

I hope you enjoyed this chat today and that it inspired you to go through your undergarments. If you already have presentable panties and bras, I encourage you to wear them on a daily basis. If not, it is a great idea to budget for them for future purchases.

Comment of the Week
Audrey B. writes, "Love this. Thank you! I'm so tired always with babies back to back so I'm always in leggings and sweats. I dream about dressing presentable because appearance says SO MUCH about you. I used to be in management for hotels so I'm used to looking very presentable and I miss it! I know my husband would love to see me dress up more."


Hi Audrey, thanks for writing in. I know that it is hard to get motivated when you have small children. I know you will get back to dressing presentably and feeling great soon. Thank you!

I hope this video has given you inspiration to update your undergarments. If you are feeling brave, let us know the state of your underwear drawer :)
