Just in time for cooler evenings, Alexa Chug has dropped her new AC Sleep collection. Though Chung is a style maven, this marks the first time she has released a sleepwear line under her eponymous label.
AC Sleep is not your average PJ line. To create the collection, Chung took inspiration from historical references such as Victorian cotton nightgowns and cinematic moments such as Audrey Hepburn's turn as Holly Golightly. The result is seven PJ sets in four colorways: brown paisley, pistachio, pinstriped cornflower blue, and Dijon mustard yellow. The collection also includes two silk eye masks and two tie-up robes so you can complete your show-stopping sleepwear look. As Chung puts it, "I was always told that purchasing a good bed was a wise investment since you spend around a third of your life sleeping, and I’d like to think the same can be said about sleepwear."
