Several things recently have got me musing over what people do wear in bed...firstly, the lovely Julie over at Kailexness wrote a post asking if there was Sex After Children (yes! hurrah!), and suggested sleeping naked as an easy way to intimacy. Secondly I was catching up with one of my many guilty pleasures in the trash TV stakes, 'Brothers and Sisters'. I won't bore those of you who don't follow the Walker family shenanigans with too much detail, but suffice to say, this particular episode seemed to involve a lot of them getting out of bed for some reason. It was interesting to see how what each character appeared to wear in bed reflected either their personality, or the state of their relationship.
I'll hold my hand up at this point and declare that, while I do possess a silly amount of frilly negligée type things, I am generally a 'comfort over style' kind of girl when it comes to bed wear. For starters, we live in a Victorian house that realistically has quite a way to go in the insulation stakes, and if there is one thing I detest it is Being Cold - in bed or out of it. I'm therefore definitely a cosy bedwear fan - however, even when the temperatures climb drastically, I still prefer to wear a little slip of something. Apart from anything else, I've always been a huge fan of leaving something to the imagination...
I do recognise, however, that it is very much a personal preference, as well as a practical consideration. A colleague of mine generally packs pyjamas only when going on trips, as they have a slight phobia of being caught out in case of a hotel fire alarm. I don't know whether this fear is based on a previous negative experience, or whether it is just sensible precautions, but it does seem a perfectly prudent thing to do. The thought of finding yourself starkers in a hotel car park in the middle of the night does not seem appealing to anyone but the most fervent exhibitionist.
Therefore, as I'm generally nosy, I'm going to open this up with a little poll (and fingers crossed that I have done this correctly!!), so go on, tell me...:
So funny, I did a post on this a while back. I am so glad I am not the only one curious about these things ;)
ReplyDeleteThe alarm did go off once when we were in a hotel so I was most grateful for my pyjamas when we gathered in the car park!
ReplyDeleteTend to wear shorty PJs as my legs get too hot in long ones. I do keep some special stuff in the naughty nightie drawer ;-)
Hmmmm can't seem to get the vote thing to work...
ReplyDeleteWe also live in a Victorian cottage so warmth is key (there was a low point in the winter where I went to bed in gloves and a hat...) so I tend to be in PJ bottoms, strapy top and a cardi
I have been thinking about getting some slightly slinkier togs but would need the weather to get warmer first
Naked, it's the only way, though that doesn't appeal if standing in the car park is on the agenda - think of the shrinkage.
ReplyDeleteLong PJ's in winter and shorts/vest type things in summer. I stayed at the Premier Inn in Edinburgh once where the fire alarm went off at silly o'clock, and there's no car park there - you're on the main road. Thankfully I was not nekkid.
ReplyDeleteif in the mood i will pop on something slinky, but afterwards I put my cosy PJs back on!
ReplyDeleteAh, so even in the heat of the Spanish summer I see you like to keep covered up ;)
ReplyDeleteObviously never a boy scout...be prepared... ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, don't think I've quite managed gloves and a hat...although I have been known to keep the heating on all night when it was bitterly cold. Forshame...
ReplyDeleteAha, finally someone who has experience of the mythical hotel car park! Any embarrassing sights of other guests? :-D
ReplyDeleteHoorah!
