Women's Bras, Underwear & Lingerie

Have you noticed all the luxe-looking chemises that seem to be everywhere? It turns out that we’re living in the golden age of the chemise, so why not revel in it? These sleepwear styles are perfect for lounging and snoozing but can sub-in for a slip under your clothes if needed. 

Macy’s carries all kinds of chemises, from sexy little satin and lace numbers to breathable knit versions ideal for hot weather and hot sleepers. Here’s everything you need to know before you purchase a chemise nightgown.

Chemises 101

So, just what is a chemise, anyway? Chemises look similar to slips, but they’re not women’s lingerie. Instead, these pieces are designed for bedtime, with an appealing look and body-skimming fit that’s somewhere between a nightgown and a negligée. A chemise slips on over the head and may (or may not) have adjustable straps. It hits anywhere from the top of the thigh to just below the knee, making it a shorter and lighter-weight option than a traditional nightgown. If you’re a hot sleeper or tend to get tangled up in a long nightgown, a chemise-style nightgown will be just right for you. 

A Chemise for Every Sleeper

Are you looking for sexy sleepwear? Chemise lingerie styles are wildly alluring. A lace or satin chemise are classic choices when you’re shopping for sexy chemises, so look at those options first. While black, white, and neutrals are the prevailing hues, a colorful, floral-print chemise nightie can be just as eye-catching. We carry other types of chemise sleepwear, too. 

Do you want to make your pre-bedtime ritual feel more luxurious? Wear a coordinated chemise and robe set. If you prefer to buy each sleepwear piece separately, shop the women’s pajamas section first. After you’ve found a chemise that suits you, look through the women’s robes. There are plenty of options perfect for mixing and matching.
