The Joy of Whimsy: Dopamine Dressing, from Day to Night

The Joy of Whimsy: Dopamine Dressing, from Day to Night

Fashion does not always need to be serious. Sometimes, the best thing we can wear is something that simply makes us smile.

That is the joyful idea behind dopamine dressing: choosing colours, prints and playful details that lift our spirits and express a little of who we are. At Their Nibs, this has always felt wonderfully familiar. From storybook mushrooms to hand-drawn seahorses, our prints invite imagination into everyday dressing—even when the day is being spent at home.
Meet four whimsical prints designed to bring a little more colour, character and joy to your pyjama drawer.

Charcoal Mushrooms: into the woods
Whimsical and wonderfully nostalgic, Charcoal Mushrooms takes its inspiration from the enchanting illustrations found in treasured childhood storybooks.
Delicate foraging mushrooms are scattered across a rich charcoal ground, creating a magical woodland world of tiny toadstools, hidden fairy doors and miniature adventures. Cheerful flashes of red, yellow and blue stand out against the deeper background, making this mushroom print nightwear feel playful while remaining beautifully wearable.
It is a print for daydreamers, nature lovers and anyone who has ever wondered what might be hiding at the bottom of the garden.

Tidal Treasures: pockets full of seaside finds
Tidal Treasures is a playful reimagining of the classic striped pyjama. Set among bold, scalloped red stripes are the tiny wonders you might discover during a day beside the sea.

Fresh blue tones bring to mind sparkling coastal waters, while touches of golden yellow recall treasures glinting in the sand. Look closely and you will find charming seaside keepsakes scattered throughout the design—just like the shells, stones and mysterious little finds brought home in pockets after a beachcombing adventure.
Colourful, characterful and filled with detail, Tidal Treasures captures all the carefree magic of a day spent by the coast.

Aqua Seahorses: beneath the sparkling sea
Fresh aqua blue, golden seahorses and delicate pink flowers come together on our short pyjama set in a print that feels almost impossible not to love.

Our beautifully hand-drawn seahorses are inspired by the graceful creatures found beneath the waves, with each one carrying a dainty coastal bloom. These botanical details take their cues from the wild flowers that flourish along windswept shorelines and rolling seaside hills. The result is a charming combination of marine life and nature, all set against an uplifting aqua backdrop. Light, fresh and full of personality, Aqua Seahorses is dopamine dressing in pyjama form.

Moulin Snooze: Paris, but make it bedtime
For a little more romance and a lot more whimsy, our Moulin Snooze collection (featuring classic pyjamas, exaggerated collar pyjamas and night dress) invites you to spend a carefree day wandering through Paris - without having to leave the comfort of home.

Inspired by the City of Light, this French-inspired modern take on a Toile de Jouy pyjama print features playful nods to the typography of the Métro, the unmistakable silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the everyday pleasures of strolling, shopping and discovering hidden corners.


Rendered in a charming, naïve illustrative style, Moulin Snooze is our light-hearted interpretation of a classic toile de Jouy. It is full of storytelling and Parisian character, with striped trims adding another joyful layer of pattern.

More joy, please
Whimsy encourages us not to take dressing - or ourselves - too seriously. It gives us permission to choose the mushrooms, wear the seahorses and turn bedtime into an imaginary trip to Paris.

Whether you are drawn to magical woodlands, seaside treasures or colourful hand-drawn prints, dopamine dressing is about finding the pieces that feel most like you. Because the clothes we wear at home deserve to be every bit as expressive as the rest of our wardrobes.

Sometimes, a really good pair of pyjamas is all the escapism you need.
