This article is part of Spring fashion month, where we’ll break down the fashion pieces you must have over the next few months. From denim jackets to comfy sandals, we’re asking editors, influencers and experts what they wear during spring and beyond.
Amazon always grabs our attention when it comes to winning good deals. During the colder months, we — and over 25,000 reviewers — loved this Amazon jacket. But for spring, you’re looking for a dress that’s airy, comfortable enough to wear non-stop as a casual outfit. home outfit but so stylish that you’ll want everyone to see it. And Amazon has a solution for that too: People, let’s meet Amazon nightgown.
Part ‘Little House on the Prairie’, part millennial partying all summer long in Montauk, the nightgown gives off big bohemian vibes and is reminiscent of Poupette St. Barth’s And Spell & Collective Gypsy-style of dress…but at a fraction of the price.
Okay, okay, it’s not really a nightgown, but thanks to its flowing, flowing cut, the powerful (aka influencers) call it that. You know something is trending when it has its own hashtag, and this dress has been around since very early on: #Amazon nightgown.
Ready to see how much this much requested dress costs? Only 30 bucks! That’s part of the reason why it exploded on ‘grams and beyond. We can’t help but try. And that’s on Prime with free returns, making it easy.
Another thought on why it’s garnering attention: the aforementioned loose cut. In an age of tight jeans and crop tops, sometimes a girl just wants to wear a muumuu — albeit a beautifully patterned one with chic details — to run errands. Think of all the Super soft nightgown that everyone seems to have. No back fat, no creases – only soft, lovely cotton creates a cool figure. What doesn’t sound great about that? Check how @ChrissyMWard style it below. Pairing it with a sleek ponytail and a woven bag, the fashion blogger tells her 26,000 followers, “best $28 I’ve ever spent.”
So I tested the Amazon nightgown. Because surely this is an Instagram versus Reality scenario, right? Available in a huge 15 colors, I opted for the pink model in the small size – many reviewers said it was better to choose the larger size because the bust was tight, but with the bouncy dress I took it safe and chose My normal size, which I used to think. Glad it fits perfectly.
Our takeaway: The vividly colored material is actually a rayon/cotton blend (not just cotton), making it super light and almost silky on skin. My fear that the fabric would overwhelm my 5 foot 4 height disappeared as soon as I put it on. While it’s certainly roomy, the dress is definitely not too big. The midi length is my favorite detail, as it hits my mid-knee and ankle, but the hardest thing is finding a bra or bra that can accommodate a deep neckline. !
If you’re afraid that the cut of the dress will look like a fairy princess and less sexy, I get it. But its cut is much narrower in real life than it is online, and with the help of accessories (layered necklace, bracelets, sunglasses, and pretty sandals!), the dress — which everyone else does! paying over $300 to buy from premium designers — easily go from dull to fab, allowing you to live life to the fullest cottage fashion imagine. Or you can pair it with flip flops and a ponytail and head to your farmers market looking chic.
That’s right, the Amazon nightgown is the perfect transitional dress for early fall that you don’t want to miss, and neither should you because — reminder — it’s only $31!
