Conde Nast ArchiveFor the people out there who worry that our country is heading in the wrong direction, to a place of loose morals and toddlers dressed like Kim Kardashian, I offer you hope in the form of a recent survey by CouponCodes4u.com: The website polled 2,129 cohabiting men and women to find that an overwhelming 62 percent wear pajamas to bed (only 11 percent sleep in the nude, and 27 percent snooze in underwear). And we’re not talking scandalous nighties, either. Forty-three percent of women strongly prefer “flannel pajama sets” (really?) to lingerie, which only got 11 percent of the vote.
Maybe it’s my Florida upbringing (even the idea of flannel there makes me claustrophobic), or maybe it’s the fact that I live in the twenty-first century, but I find the old-school sleepwear trend really surprising-especially when you look at the reason why women are going for the Victorian look. Thirty-one percent chose pajamas because they “didn’t want their partner seeing them naked.” In fact, just 23 percent said that their partner saw them naked every day.
