Fashion > Choosing a christmas gift

Nightgowns for women come in a wide variety of colors, style and materials and, believe it or not, they serve a variety of purposes as well. While many people think of a nightgown as simply sleeping attire for women, to most women they are much more! Many women not only sleep in a nightgown, but use them to lounge in comfort, to feel beautiful or attractive, to provide additional warmth on a cold winter's night and to attract that special someone in their lives.

Nightgowns run the gambit from skimpy little silk and lace confections that barely cover the skin to full flannel nightgowns that can be high necked and fall to cover the feet, to everything in between. Most women have several nightgowns and the one they choose to wear at night will depend on the weather, their own mood or the purpose they want the nightgown to serve.

 First tip: if you're apprehensive about going into a lingerie store, head straight for a saleswoman. She'll reassure you and help you make just the right choice.

Second tip: Buy according to HER tastes! Leave your own preferences aside and think of her style. If you stray from what she likes, you run the risk of having your gift disappear forever into the bottom of a drawer. To avoid this, we're proposing a few ideas; see if together they correspond to the personality of the woman in your life.

For the classic woman: give a luxurious article without breaking the bank. Silk pajamas are the perfect gift for pampered lounging, a choice that's very popular every year.

For the romantic woman: a nightgown with lace, delicate embroidery, light fabric and serious decolleté: tone on tone is always a good choice.

Unless you really know your partner well, stay away from frou-frou, swan feather, straps... a more difficult choice to wear.
