Bonjour lecteurs! What do you usually wear at night? I love a feminine nightdress. But pyjamas are so comfy when it gets cold. The right pair of PJs can make you feel confident. But choose the wrong style and you will look like a shapeless marshmallow (cute, but not always the goal!). Whether you’re lounging at home, getting ready for bed, or indulging in a lazy weekend morning, choosing pyjamas that flatter your figure can faire la différence to a good night’s sleep. See now how to choose pyjamas for your body shape.
Hourglass Shape: Emphasize Your Curves
If your bust and hips are well-balanced with a defined waist, you have an hourglass figure. So go for it and highlight your courbes naturelles without feeling restricted.
Choose between a wrap-style pyjama top (they will enhance your shape) or a pair of fitted pyjamas with a stretchy waistband for extra comfort.
If you opt for a nightgown, select one with a belted waist. It will accentuate your curves while keeping things comfy.
Avoid boxy or oversized sets that drown out your figure. A little structure goes a long way!
Pear Shape: Balance the Proportions
With a pear shape, your hips are wider than your bust. The trick is to draw attention upward while keeping the lower half relaxed and comfy.
Flowy and flattering styles will work well on you without clinging to the hips. The Cool-Jams womens nightgowns are great if you are going for something like that.
You can also opt for a V-neck top . J’adore this neckline elongates the torso and balances proportions.
Wide-leg pyjama pants are also une bonne option. It keeps everything looking proportionate without feeling snug.
Avoid tight-fitting shorts or pyjama pants that emphasize the hip area too much. Instead, opt for a looser, flowy fit.
Apple Shape: Define the Waistline
If you carry more weight around your midsection, the goal is to create shape without feeling constricted. Look for pyjamas that skim over the waist rather than hugging it tightly
Empire-waist styles would look good one you. These provide a structured top half while allowing flow around the midsection.
Or create a vertical line with a loose button-up pyjama tops that will elongate your torso.
Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics that drape nicely and avoid anything with an elastic waistbands that dig in, creating discomfort instead of shape.
Rectangle Shape: Create Curves
If your shoulders, waist, and hips are all fairly uniform, the key is to add definition and shape. Pyjamas with a bit of drape or structure can create a more contoured silhouette.
Go for a ruffled style. It adds softness and dimension et c’est très chic.
Avoid shapeless pyjamas that don’t add any visual interest. Such un détail can make all la différence.
Petite Frame: Keep It Sleek
For those on the shorter side, the goal is to elongate your figure without overwhelming it. Shorter styles and streamlined silhouettes work best. So go for cropped pyjama pants or shorts.
Vertical stripe patterns are also a winner for your body shape but you can go for a nightgowns for une touche féminine.
Avoid oversized pyjama sets that swallow your frame. Instead, opt for des pièces that fit well and don’t add too much bulk.
Tall Frame: Play with Proportions
Tall women have l’avantage of pulling off long, flowing pyjamas effortlessly. The trick is to avoid looking too elongated by incorporating layers and details.
Go for full-length pyjama sets with wide-leg pants or anything with symmetrical hems. It will add movement and breaks up the length.
Two-tone or colour-block pyjama sets are also une bonne idée. It will help create balance and contrast.
Don’t pick up anything cropped or too fitted, as they might make you look even taller. Instead, go for soft, draping fabrics that add balance.
The perfect pyjamas should match your body shape, personal style, and comfort level. Whether you’re all about, comfort or style, opt for relaxed loungewear. It’s a flattering fit for everyone. Personnellement, I love a bit of stripes and colours… So Frenchie! Get a good book for better sleep et voilà! You’re all set to drift away and have sweet dreams. I hope your find the perfect style with this guide on how to choose pyjamas for your body shape.
