On Vancouver Island we experience a varied climate from crisp and sunny, to mild and wet and even cold and icy atop Mt. Washington. Luckily, whether you play in the snow, or escape the chill in front of a fire, we have winter pieces to keep you feeling cozy.

Thick and Cozy

A perennial favorite is Bedhead pajamas and we have been carrying them for years due to their comfort and universally popular designs. To the right is the Bedhead Jade Vienna design, in cotton, which has just arrived in-store.

For those looking to mix-and-match, Blush pajamas come in colourful, cotton tops and plaid, flannel bottoms, allowing you to create your own unique look.

And of course, look for new lines of robes from Diamond Tea and Bella Notte for the ultimate decadence right out of the shower, or lounging all day long.

If you're heading out into the weather, we recommend looking at Kim Allan Silks, offered in long-sleeved tops as well as long-johns (seen right). Kim Allan Silks not only keep you warm but they offer maximum breathability while wicking moisture away from your skin. Perfect for when you're working up a sweat skiing down the slopes, and when you're waiting for the lift to get back up again.

Nina Von C is another line to check out for those who prefer cotton keeping them warm.

This Winter

Now is the time we layer up, break out the pajamas, unfurl the robes and linger in them all Sunday afternoon. But come in soon to select your style because we warn you, we're not the only ones looking to be pampered this season.

Kim Allan Silks are a woven silk with long fibres allowing for stretching and flexing with your body. It remains smooth against the body making it perfect for sleeping uniquely keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

The Top Five Reasons People Love Kim Allan Silk

1. These silks are perfect for travel. You can toss them into your luggage and rest-assured they will still look great at your destination. They are also easy to hand-wash with shampoo in your Parisian hotel room's petite sink, and they dry in a snap.
2. Silk is perfect for the hot flashes and night sweats of menopause. Silk breathes better than other fabrics and wicks away fabric keeping you dry and sound asleep.
3. Silk is gentle on even the most sensitive skin. The garments are so light and delicate they are preferred for conditions like post-radiation.
4. Used under clothing, the silk provides warmth without bulk.
5. No fabric has all the amazing properties of silk: absorbency, comfort, strength and weightlessness. And Kim Allan Silks takes these attributes and transforms them into sensible silks for every body.

When the word "lingerie" appears, what pops into your mind? Probably silk and lace, maybe a thong or garter. You're probably not thinking about men's underwear. But at Secret Drawers Lingerie, we know that men matter too. That's why we carry boxer-briefs by Kim Allan Silk.
