Nighties

Sussan women's nighties are designed for the part of your day that belongs entirely to you. Our sleepwear range covers everything from lightweight options for warm nights to cosy styles for cooler evenings, all made with quality fabrics and thoughtful details throughout.

Every nightie in our collection is crafted to feel easy on the skin and flattering to wear. With a range of styles, fits, and fabrics to choose from, finding the right nightie for your routine is simple.

What Are Nighties?

A nightie is a loose-fitting sleepwear garment designed for comfort while sleeping or relaxing at home. The category covers a range of styles, including the classic nightdress, flowing nightgown, relaxed nightshirt, delicate chemise, and the slip nightie.

Each style varies in length, sleeve type, and fabric weight, so there's a fit for every preference and season. Unlike lingerie or loungewear, a nightie is a single throw-on piece with no layers to match and nothing to adjust. It's straightforward comfort from top to hem.

What Is the Difference Between a Nightie and Pyjamas?

A nightie is a one-piece sleepwear garment, while pyjamas are a two-piece set with a separate top and bottom. Nighties tend to feel lighter and easier to move in, with no waistband or matching pieces to think about.

Pyjama sets give you more flexibility in how you mix and layer, which suits cooler nights or women who like a more covered feel. Both are staples in women's sleepwear, and many women keep both in rotation depending on the season and their mood.

Which Fabric Is Best for Nighties?

The best fabric depends on your climate and how you sleep. Our range includes options suited to women across Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

1. Lyocell is a breathable, plant-based fibre with a soft drape that suits year-round wear.

2. LENZING™ ECOVERO™ is a certified sustainable viscose fibre, light and breathable, produced to higher environmental standards.

3. 100% Cotton is a classic cotton nightie fabric that stays breathable through the night and suits most climates.

4. Cotton Blend combines cotton comfort with added stretch for a little more flexibility in fit.

5. 100% Australian Cotton is locally sourced and delivers pure local fibre with no blending, one of the most breathable options in the range.

Modal-adjacent fibres like Lyocell suit warmer sleepers, while cotton options work well across all seasons.

What Styles of Nighties Does Sussan Offer?

Sussan offers four styles of women's nighties across a range of prints, including gingham, florals, and styles with lace trim detail.

1. Short-sleeve nighties are lightweight and breathable, ideal for warmer nights or transitional weather.

2. Long-sleeve nighties offer added warmth for cooler evenings and are a favourite through autumn and winter.

3. Sleeveless nighties are the coolest option in the range, great for summer or layering under a dressing gown.

4. Chemises offer a more refined, fitted cut with delicate detailing for a feminine finish that still feels relaxed to sleep in.

How Do You Choose the Right Nightie Size?

Start with our size guide, which covers inclusive sizing from XXS to 4XL and gives you the measurements you need to find the best fit. It's the most reliable starting point before you add anything to your bag.

From there, think about how you like to sleep. Some women prefer a loose, flowing fit, while others like a closer cut that stays in place through the night.

Fabric plays a role, too. A 100% cotton nightie tends to hold its shape and feel consistent in sizing, while a cotton blend may offer a little more give. If you're between sizes, sizing up will always give you more comfort and ease of movement. For XXL and above, check the size guide notes for any style-specific fit advice.
