As defined in the dictionary, the peignoir is a loose fitting gown or dress that is worn in the process of dressing. They are also commonly worn during grooming, such as brushing hair or applying makeup in front of a mirror. They have been around for years in French culture, and are now becoming more popular in other countries all over the world.



A peignoir is commonly worn in the bedroom, and is usually put on right before bed. It is a garment that is worn over a nightgown or sleep shirt, and is typically made out of a thin material like silk or chiffon. The material is usually very thin and somewhat translucent, since it is worn over a nightgown or other night clothing. Because the peignoir is typically worn in the bedroom and around bedtime, it is typically associated with a romantic nature.

A peignoir makes a great gift for many occasions, especially for those who are in a relationship. It is considered a conservative and flattering piece of negligee, and can be purchased in most lingerie stores in a wide variety of styles and sizes. Many are also sold with matching lingerie that coordinates with the gown, since the gown isn't generally worn in bed. They are available in styles with beautiful embroidery, amazing lace and scalloped edges, and even in solid colors to coordinate with various nightgowns and other nighttime attire.

Even though the peignoir is a conservative and classic style, it is now becoming more and more popular in various countries including the United States. It has a sexy yet classy look that is ideal for adults, since it is comfortable enough and covering enough to wear around the house. Most peignoirs for children are made out of a thicker material that isn't translucent, more similar to a typical bathrobe or nightshirt. The peignoir is perfect for covering up night gowns or other sleep attire that one would prefer to only wear in bed, and is fashionable enough to wear as a gown for lounging around the house.

The peignoir is a very fun and flirty gown that many women are trading in their standard bath robes for, since it offers elegance as well as a perfect garment for covering up. It looks beautiful and classy, feels amazing, and it the perfect garment to coordinate with almost any nightgown or lingerie. It can make almost any woman feel beautiful, and is the perfect companion for grooming and getting ready for bed.
