déshabillé

Casual morning attire

Déshabillé is a state of being partially dressed or casually clothed, especially in a way that suggests intimacy or informality: She received visitors in a state of déshabillé.

The word is borrowed from French and retains a slightly literary or affected quality in English, often describing someone caught not fully presentable or deliberately lounging in nightclothes or a robe.
