Lately, all we've been seeing on our feeds (and even on our current Netflix obsessions) are those airy, light dresses that remind us of afternoon naptimes. Who knew that the house dress, nap dress, or the nightgown — whatever you might call it — would become all the rage these days, no longer relegated to just being those pieces only our mums would wear at home? Still, it makes perfect sense. In this time when staying at home is the best and safest option for all, there's a newfound appreciation for the carefree comfort it offers. So what are you waiting for? Ace the house dress trend and browse the following fashion brands to find the one for you.
