Let’s button up the benefits of this bedtime classic.
Some sleepwear is for looking cute. Some is for staying comfy. And then there’s the sleep shirt—the magical unicorn that does both. You know the one: that breezy, slightly oversized, effortlessly chic number that makes you feel like a movie star lounging in a coastal villa... even if you’re just binge-watching with a cup of tea and a hot water bottle.
But if you’re wondering when a sleep shirt is actually good for sleep (and not just for slow Sundays), the short answer is: right now. The longer answer? Well, let’s dive into it—button-up sleep shirts first
1. When You Want Maximum Comfort Without Compromise
Sometimes PJs can be a little… clingy. And not in the flattering way. A sleep shirt—especially one from Jade and May’s linen or bamboo range—gives you room to move, breathe, and stretch without restriction. It’s like sleeping in a cool breeze. Except way cuter.
The button-up sleep shirt design means you can adjust the neckline to your liking (hello, air flow) and skip the over-the-head struggle in the middle of the night. Especially great if you're a hot sleeper or just value a no-fuss bedtime routine.
2. When You Want Something Stylish Enough for the Postie to See You In
Let’s be honest—half the reason we love sleep shirts is because they blur the line between PJs and loungewear. A Jade and May button-up sleep shirt in soft bamboo or breathable linen? It's stylish enough to answer the door, water the plants, and sneak out for a coffee run (no one needs to know it’s technically sleepwear).
Bonus points for that lived-in luxe vibe—especially in linen. The slightly rumpled look? Totally intentional. Totally fabulous.
3. When You're a Hot Sleeper
Raise your hand if you’ve ever woken up sweating like you ran a marathon in your dreams. Bamboo and linen to the rescue! The Jade and May sleep shirts in both fabrics are breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating. Translation: you’ll stay cool, dry, and comfortable all night long—whether you’re dealing with hot flushes, summer nights, or a partner who insists on a 13-tog doona
4. When You Have Sensitive Skin
Scratchy synthetics are a no-go. Bamboo is buttery-soft and naturally hypoallergenic, while linen is a clean, natural fibre that gets softer with every wash. A Jade and May sleep shirt in either option is gentle on your skin and kind to the planet (win-win!)
5. When You Want to Feel a Bit Fancy (Without Even Trying)
There’s something about a button-up sleep shirt that feels a bit... luxe. It's understated, elegant, and just a little bit ooh la la. Whether you're into crisp linen or silky-smooth bamboo, the Jade and May sleep shirt takes bedtime style up a notch—without sacrificing an ounce of comfort.
So, when is a sleep shirt good for sleep?
Every night. Every nap. Every lazy morning and every “I’m not getting dressed today” kind of day. Especially when it’s a Jade and May sleep shirt—crafted from sustainable, natural fibres and designed to feel as good as it looks.
