What's a Bed Jacket?
I was recently shopping in Cheap Jack’s, the vintage superstore in NYC, and noticed a great collection of bed jackets. It reminded me that although we don’t see bed jackets often, they are gorgeous accessories in the world of lingerie.
Back in a more formal era, women always bought bed jackets to go with their intimates, but they lost their popularity when modesty went out the window. They have been making a comeback recently, along with numerous other retro-inspired trends, and I think they are a stunning addition to the chemises and bra/panty sets you might already have in your wardrobe.
Unlike a longer robe, these little jackets are often open in the front, while providing just enough coverage over the arms and bust. Click through to shop a couple of versions that are available now!
