Looking for nightwear with a soft look and a comfortable fit? With the velvet collection, you choose a fabric that feels beautifully smooth and offers warmth on cooler days. A women’s velour pyjama is ideal when you want to combine comfort with a slightly more elegant look.

What is velour?

Velour is a fabric with a short, soft pile. This gives the surface a smooth feel and a slight sheen. The material holds warmth well without feeling heavy, making it a comfortable garment for both autumn and winter.

The velvet collection is:

• soft and comfortable

• lightly warm and insulating

• suitable as pyjamas or loungewear

• easy to combine with a bathrobe

• pleasant for cooler nights

You can also explore all nightwear for other materials such as fleece and flannel, or combine your set with items from the cosy nightwear collection.

Women’s velour pyjamas

A women’s velour pyjama often consists of long bottoms and a long-sleeved top. The fabric follows the body smoothly without feeling tight, making it a good choice for relaxed evenings or mornings.

Want extra warmth? Combine your velour pyjamas with a bathrobe or soft pair of slippers and socks.

Velour compared to other fabrics

Not sure whether to choose velour, fleece or flannel? Fleece from the fleece collection is usually slightly warmer and more insulating. Flannel from the flannel pyjamas collection feels warmer than cotton, but less smooth than velour. Velour sits somewhere in between: warm, but with a softer and smoother texture.

Wash your velour according to the nightwear care advice to keep the fabric looking good and feeling soft.
