Do you know that fleeting feeling that can sometimes wash over you — that one where you for a split second feel like you have your life under control? For me, this happens when I wear a matching set of pyjamas to bed. For some reason, being able to finish the day and pull on silk pyjamas in place of my man’s 10-year-old Metallica t-shirt means that I am winning at life.

Perhaps I can put this feeling down to the fact the world has seen a seismic shift in our appreciation for self-care and mindfulness over the last few years and making a conscious dressing effort in the boudoir seemingly plays into this concept. Katie Atkinson, Senior Editor for intimates and swimwear at WGSN seems to share this sentiment stating that “Relaxation and mindfulness are at the forefront of everyone’s mind and luxe-loungewear is the perfect accompaniment”

So when MAISON ESSENTIELE crossed my desk, I bet on their range of silk sleep and lounge pieces as ones that are going to fast become a fixture in the ‘saved image’ Instagram galleries of women, the globe over.
