Editorial nuggets to be elegant at home – #58

You regularly ask us for brand recommendations on clothes to wear at home: pajamas, dressing gowns, slippers, among others.

It is true that we have not covered this subject much so far.

But the current context lends itself to it.

So here is a selection from the editorial team, special homewear.

Sleepy Jones Pajamas (+ a bonus) - David

Sleepy Jones is an American brand that Jordan introduced me to and that I like to look at from time to time, out of the corner of my eye.

Not having any pajamas worthy of the name at the moment, my choice fell on this very sober model , which stands out with its small gingham pattern and its white border at the throat of the shirt, its chest pocket as well as the leg of the pants.

These pajamas are made from so-called "mercerized" cotton: the fabric undergoes a treatment which will swell the cotton fibers and give it a silkier appearance and feel.

I am also taking advantage of this article to tell you a little anecdote related to the subject.

I recently discovered, during one of my countless late-night shopping trips, that the high-end brand Zimmerli provides pajama sets for Swiss first-class flights.

The approach made me smile and I appreciated the model with a long-sleeved polo shirt, which is a change from the t-shirt or shirt that we usually find in these sets.

FYI, I've seen a few of these pajamas go on eBay .

Matthew Cookson Slippers - Jordan

embroidered slippers

Sorry Mom, sorry Dad, I didn't choose the slippers It's not ingratitude, it's emancipation, don't get the two confused.

These slippers fascinate me, I can't help it. I see in them the victory of chic idleness and above all a great opportunity to start a new collection. You see the shoe cabinet filled with slippers with different embroidery and colors, just to match your mood as you walk the creaky parquet floor of your mansion.

I see myself there.

With the silk dressing gown, lighter than lightness itself and flying and you feel the silk flopping behind you. Ah, that's it, I want champagne. Just to celebrate life, in all its forms. Do we need a certificate if we're alone at home and we want to drink?

We will have to ask the government this question.

So what about these slippers?

They are expensive, that's a fact. But they are well made and in the UK please. I'm not saying I'm going to buy some straight away. As I say in my diary , I want to make sure my city wardrobe is on point first. I have a lot to do before I can afford these totally useless little wonders.

Seersucker jacket NN07 - Michel

This is what I see myself wearing at home on Sundays at home: a white t-shirt, and this beautiful NN07 seersucker jacket over it. Open, please.

And since every day will now be a bit like a Sunday at home, it's a combination that I also highly recommend.

First, because this seersucker is very beautiful. Its navy is deep and its texture would remind me every day why I love beautiful materials. That way, I wouldn't forget who I am.

Then, because its right proportions and its fall would remind me every day that I can have allure. Thus, I would not forget to take care of myself.

Finally, because its stand-out design would remind me every day that I still have taste. So, I wouldn't forget to let it guide my choices.
For these reasons, I am willing to forgive its 32% synthetic content.

Lapuan Kankurit Plaid - Jérôme

It's a bit of a privilege to live in an old building, the unique character of an old apartment: you can write a whole story about the direction of the air currents.
It's hard to imagine life without an accessory that's warm, comfortable and elegant, like this blanket found on The Future Kept , the e-shop of a couple of nature-loving photographers.

Among their many finds: Lapuan Kankurit , a beautiful story of a Finnish family that ethically makes household linen and many other soft products like this blanket. It is large, all in 100% muesling free virgin wool and I particularly love its texture and comforting colors.
Nonchalantly thrown over the shoulders or more often placed on the knees, it is the companion for quiet days at home. Ideal for those who are chilly, fans of cocooning and cats looking for a cozy nest.

Derek Rose Shearling Slippers - Nicolò

beige shearling slippers

I've had mine, in this exact color, for two years now, and I have to say that I've probably gotten more out of them than any other pair of shoes, in terms of wear time! As soon as I get home, I put them on, it's become a reflex.

Comfort is as evident as the appearance of these slippers suggests, and they have an undeniable elegance. Especially when you compare them to your grandpa's classic charentaise.

Don't hesitate to take the size below if you are between two sizes, the leather relaxes and the wool compresses.

Also, you might be surprised to learn that in the summer, if you wear them barefoot, in the shade in your home, you won't be that hot in them. These are the only slippers I wear and I don't need any others.
