American Sass & UK Class~DKNY Sleepwear

 

It’s 6 PM on Sunday evening and I just finished two marathon days of selling off 40 years of household paraphernalia.  It was quite intense!  We found ourselves in a frenzy, giving things away for far less than their worth and refusing to let go of items at realistic prices because they anchor our memories.  Such was the story of my antique hand drawn map of the British Isles which I purchased at age 20 while taking a course at Oxford University.  It has been hanging in my library since then representing my affinity for the UK and much of the culture that defines its character: a combination of an aristocratic history, brilliant drama, a quirky sense of humor and comfortable cozy chic.

So last week, when I learned that the DKNY Sleepwear brand had spread its wings to Great Britain, I was quite excited about the possibility of including my English colleagues in a product highlight on Lingerie Briefs.  I can see why this loungewear collection has managed to intrigue the British consumer.  It is quintessentially American, cleverly conceived and beautifully designed.  Fashioned with a dramatic flair in a soft, flowing micromodal fabric, every piece potentially serves a multiple purpose.   Part of the Seven Easy Pieces DKNY basics, these styles move seamlessly from the bedroom, the living room, tearoom, garden party or to a relaxed evening out. Available in XS – XL these shapes reflect the DKNY sportswear aesthetic, but at an intimate value.  They are the perfect marriage of American sass and Anglo class.
