You dressed for the weather. Then the office air conditioning kicked in, so you reached for a sweater. Twenty minutes later, somewhere in the middle of a meeting, a hot flash arrived and that sweater became the enemy. By lunch you'd layered on and off three times and you were quietly damp under all of it.
If that sounds familiar, you're in good company. It's one of the things we hear most often in our Edmonton and St. Albert shops, and it's exactly why we designed the new Georgia Rylan Midnight Teal collection to work as hard during the day as it does at night.
Why hot flashes at work are their own challenge
At home, you can throw off the covers or open a window. At work, you're dealing with a thermostat you don't control, a dress code, and the small matter of looking composed while your body does its own thing. What helps most isn't one perfect garment. It's a smart set of layers in a fabric that doesn't hold heat and moisture against your skin.
Why bamboo makes the difference
Every Midnight Teal piece is made in OEKO-TEX® certified bamboo rayon, the same fabric our customers already love in their Georgia Rylan pyjamas. Bamboo is breathable and moisture-wicking, so when warmth builds up it moves away from you rather than clinging. It also feels beautifully soft, with a drape that reads polished rather than sporty. If you're curious about the details, we've put everything in our Why Bamboo? guide.
Meet the Midnight Teal daywear trio
The Long Cardigan with Pockets is your on-and-off layer. It's long and open-front, light enough not to add heat when you don't need it and substantial enough to feel like a proper layer when the air conditioning is winning. The pockets are real, deep and useful. Drape it over your chair so it's ready for the next round.
The Long Sleeve Bamboo Tee is the base layer. It works under the cardigan, under a blazer, or on its own. Long sleeves in bamboo behave very differently from long sleeves in cotton, which is why so many women who run warm are surprised by how comfortable this one is.
The Straight Leg Bamboo Pant sits right between tailored and relaxed: structured enough for the office, comfortable enough that you'll forget you're wearing it.
Three ways to wear it
- The full set. Tee, pant and cardigan together in one deep, saturated teal. It's a complete outfit with zero decisions before your first coffee.
- With what you already own. The tee and pant under your favourite blazer, or the pant with a crisp white shirt.
- The cardigan over everything. Jeans, a dress, even your pyjamas on a Saturday morning. It's the piece most women tell us they reach for daily.
And when the day is done
Midnight Teal continues into the bedroom, so you can stay cool around the clock:
- Tee & Jogger PJ Set: the most versatile set in the collection
- Long Sleeve Button Up & Straight Pant Set: our most tailored pyjama, collar and all
- Flutter Nightgown: sleeveless, flowy and made for the warmest nights
- V-Neck Nightshirt with Pockets: the easy one-piece option
- Bamboo Eye Sleep Mask: the matching finishing touch, and a lovely little gift
Good to know
Won't long sleeves make me warmer?
Not the way cotton does. Bamboo wicks moisture away from the skin instead of trapping it, so many women who run warm find long sleeves in bamboo comfortable where cotton would be too much.
Is bamboo appropriate for the office?
Absolutely. The Midnight Teal daywear pieces have a soft drape and a rich, solid colour that reads as polished, not loungey.
What sizes are available?
Georgia Rylan is designed for real bodies, from XS through 3XL. Our size guides have full measurements, and our team is always happy to help you find your fit.
How do I care for bamboo?
Machine wash cold and hang or tumble dry low. Skip the fabric softener; bamboo is already soft and softener can reduce its wicking.
Designed in Edmonton, for women like you
