Where to buy a nap dress before they sell out again - New York Post Posted: 24 Feb 2021 01:15 PM PST After almost a year of quarantine life due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, loungewear has become more popular than ever before. While working from home, there really seems to be no point in wearing anything but your favorite sweats. Sure you might throw on a nice sweater and a dab of makeup on the days you have Zoom calls but ultimately there's no other reason you shouldn't be comfy while you work from your couch, right? After 12 months of wearing the same things, it might be time to change up your comfy clothes wardrobe. Where to start? Nap dresses, naturally. Get in on the dreamy trend before you have to wear business casual again. What's a Nap Dress? Nap dresses first came to life in 2019, when Hill House Home launched a variety of styles. What is a nap dress, you ask? Imagine a chic garment that you would see Daphne from Netflix's popular "Bridgerton" series wearing around the house or a dress that could very well jump out of a "Little House on the Prairie" novel. You could, of course, theoretically wear these comfy dresses to bed, but instead, the garments have been coined for napping and lounging specifically. "It is not the same thing as a caftan, which, though often luxurious, is more shapeless and more grown-up. It is not a housedress, which we tend to associate with older women shuffling onto the stoop to grab the morning paper, the curlers still in their hair," wrote Rachel Syme in her definitive ode to the garment in the New Yorker. "A housedress is about forgetting the self, or at least hiding it under layers of quilted fabric. The Nap Dress, on the other hand, suggests a cheeky indulgence for one's body, and a childlike return to waking up bleary-eyed hours before dinner." Where can I buy a Nap Dress? Recently a report from Fast Company stated that the clothing company sold $1 million of its bestselling Nap Dress in just 12 minutes, and acquired more revenue than it had made in the entire year of 2019 in just one day. Since then, dozens of brands have followed suit after "nap dresses" blew up on social media. While you'll have to pay a pretty penny for an OG Nap Dress from Hill House Home (if you can get your hands on one!) – there are plenty of great brands selling similar styles that are regularly in stock or a fraction of the cost. Right now the Hill House Home's Nap Dress "Shop" has a handful of comfy garments in stock, including this shorter length option called "The Athena." It comes in a variety of different colors including this classic light blue shade. The Best Nap Dress Dupes Online Even Free People is dialing in on the trend. The brand's "All Eyes On You" Midi Dress is perfect to wear around the house, look presentable during a Zoom meeting or even over a bathing suit this summer. This Amazon Nap Dress is by far the most affordable on our dupe list and comes in four different colors including white, blue and two floral patterns. The brand Ivy City Co. has also taken to the Victorian trend but made it even more chic. They put a twist on the Nap Dress with their Lola Dress which would look adorable around the house or out and about. For something with a little gingham style, consider this discounted Nasty Gal maxi option that gives major Nap Dress vibes! If you're fine with splurging, consider this adorable linen midi dress from Faithfull The Brand. It would look great with your go-to slippers or even a pair of sneakers.

9 cottagecore aesthetic dresses and outfits that exude cozy style - New York Post Posted: 24 Feb 2021 01:54 PM PST Share this: February 24, 2021 | 4:54pm | Updated NY Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you buy through our links. Oh, the simple life. It's fair to say that many wish they could take a break from 2021 for a bit and trade sweats for a flowy sundress and rid of worries for a stroll in a meadow. If you've been on TikTok lately, you may know where this is going. Coined "cottagecore," the lifestyle and fashion trend embodies a slower, simpler time a la "Little Women" or "Little House on the Prairie," but more elegant and romanticized. Invoking nostalgia for some (checkout #grandparentcore for that) and elements of fantasy for others (see: #fairycore) the cottagecore persona can be a little different for everyone. "Cottagecore is an aesthetic movement inspired by a romantic vision of rural life," explained Rebecca Stice, 33, who runs the TikTok account @aclotheshorse. "This often translates to pastel dresses with full skirts and nature-inspired prints, or cottage-inspired homes with lots of plants, baskets and vintage elements." From Northern Ireland, Stice spends her days as a freelance photographer and copywriter, making handmade hair accessories and creating viral videos of herself in stunning cottagecore dresses, usually in slow motion for the added old-world effect. This slowness itself is another element of cottagecore culture, from lifestyle choices to transitioning away from fast fashion. "I started moving towards a slower lifestyle around five years ago and my style started to adapt with the lifestyle changes," Stice told The Post. "It just didn't feel right to be wearing high heels and more flashy clothes while walking around the woods of my home and learning a bit about foraging." Nowadays, she's ditched the "totally impractical" heels and instead wears "wellies," slang for rubber boots often used in the UK. "I also started to think more about how my clothes were being made and how damaging the fast-fashion industry is to the environment," she explained. "The more my style moved in this direction, the more people started calling it cottagecore and so I started to embrace the term." Anna, 30, who goes by her TikTok username @annatheadventuress, is also a cottagecore content creator and photographer, a profession that seems very helpful in creating whimsical videos. For her, the style served as a reprise from the doom and gloom of the past year and a calming force to share with others. "I discovered the cottagecore aesthetic around the same time the pandemic hit last year in 2020, and I found it really spoke to my style and interests," she explained to The Post. "I started off by creating videos of my walks in nature and found it was incredibly therapeutic." While she admitted she started making videos strictly for herself, she found that people were enjoying her content and calling the clips "calming." "I love that I can give people even a few seconds of peace in their day," she added. And it seems a lot of people need that moment of peace, as she now has 12,000 followers on TikTok and nearly 5,000 followers on Instagram, where she posts sneak peeks of her cottagecore wardrobe for her followers to take notes. The lifestyle change might be a big step, but for those wanting to slow it down, or just start dressing in the cottagecore style, there are some easy steps to have you twirling in no time. "I try to find what I call 'pockets of beauty' in my local area. If you look hard enough there is beauty all around you," said Anna. "I also like to bring the aesthetic into my wardrobe with twirl-worthy linen dresses, romantic puffy sleeves, flowing cloaks, straw hats, lace-up boots and cozy knitwear." Stice, who has 700,000 TikTok followers and 300,000 on Instagram, also promises the aesthetic is more accessible than one would think from her follower count. "It's an aesthetic movement," she explained, "so you can find ways to bring in the visual elements of the style into your home or clothes no matter where you live. I personally feel it also calls for an appreciation of nature and celebration of moments over things, but that is also accessible to everyone." Instead, she suggested treating it like a state of mind, rather than a photoshoot. "The green spaces near you might look different than the ones near me and there might be less green space, but we can all take time to be quiet in nature or bring plants into our homes," she said. "It's more about 'Slow down, spend time in nature, romanticize the little moments of your life.'"
