These Nap Dresses Are Both Chic and Comfy to Wear in or out of Bed

The winter season is finally coming to a close, and I for one am ready to swap my heavy coat, sweaters, and sweatpants in exchange for sandals and sunglasses. And because the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing (i.e., masking up and staying away from crowds are still recommended), what better way to follow the guidelines than by continuing to cozy up at home? Enter the nap dress: a light and breezy silhouette that can be worn throughout the day AND in bed for a quick nap or a deeper sleep. Officially, the term "nap dress" was coined by Hill House Home, thanks to their cute yet super soft smocked dresses you can wear in or out of bed; plus, they resemble those pretty nightgowns we all adored in Bridgerton.

Whether you're looking for a dress to wear as pajamas or simply want one that's simply nightgown-esque, we rounded up 22 nap dresses for you. There is some overlap with the "house dress" and the cottagecore trends, but essentially, like the name suggests, a comfortable sleep is the No. 1 priority of wearing this specific style, and the fact that it's stylish to wear out is just a nice bonus! So if you're looking for a dreamy frock this spring that also serves as practical loungewear, keep scrolling for some of the best nap dresses out there.
