What sleepwear do you feel is acceptable? Do you have things that aren’t modest and then wear a robe? Always wear slippers?

I wear mostly modest nightgowns, such as scoop neck but with sleeves, long but not till my ankles. I also wear PJ's.

Lately I've been getting dressed in the morning before I leave my bedroom, but I have no problem going out of my room with any of my nightgowns or PJs. Lingerie is a different story.

I like to wear socks instead of slippers but I don't must wear any. I go barefoot also.

Modest nightgowns for me may be different than to you. For me it means they have (short) sleeves (as opposed to straps) I wear these during niddah. Otherwise, no.

What do slippers have to do with anything?

I wear pajamas and sometimes nightgowns. Some are more modest than others and I don't wear a robe on top . I don't walk around in sleeveless though. I wear slippers for comfort and to keep my feet clean and warm not for any other reason.

Nope. I never wear nightgowns, I don't even own one. During niddah I wear a long sleeve pj shirt with pj pants or sweatpants. Otherwise I wear tank tops, short sleeve v necks, yoga pants, lingereish looking pjs (I guess you can call them nightgowns but they are definitely not modest), just my undergarments, sometimes my birthday suit, etc.

ETA - I live in a tiny one bedroom with a baby. I don't plan on dressing like this once my kids are older. And I don't own slippers either.

I think you'll get a wide range of answers on this one. It depends more on sensitivities than halacha.

During niddah time I wear a tznius nightgown (long sleeves, high neck, long length). I'll wear this around the house. At other times I generally sleep in a t-shirt and pajama pants. I'll walk around upstairs like this, but if I'm going to walk around the house I'll put on a bathrobe.

If I'm sleeping in anything less...my bedroom door is locked Wink

I enjoy sleeping in comfy cotton or polyester tops, with comfortable slinky skirt. I have many different color skirts and pretty shell tops (from Elzees). It feels comfortable and decently dressed, perfect for morning to come out as is.

Slippers are for modesty, for women that don’t wear sandals and show feet.

PJs meaning pants and top? The same clothing with any over bar mitzvah sons at home?

I wear those long sleeve and below the knees nightgowns. And a pair of leggings underneath when its cold. Comfortable and modest. This is what I like to wear.

What’s wrong with boys seeing their own mother in pajama pants?
