![]() | bathrobes, housecoats, dressing gowns or cover-ups the benefits of bathrobes are as varied as what you call them. Bathrobes perform three main functions.
Pack a lightweight robe when traveling. Towel style bathrobes wrap around your torso and usually fasten with a hook and loop closure. This minimalist robe stows easily for travel and doubles as a swim cover-up when returning from the pool or beach. Wear your favorite robe to curl up while reading, watching television, e-mailing or talking. Don a robe to compliment your comfortable loungewear while retrieving the mail or newspaper, or to receive unexpected guests or deliveries. Hooded bathrobes are great for wet hair or in drafty settings. |
The Right Robe for the Right Season for Comfort and Confidence
Fleece, microfleece, thick terry, chenille, flannel, and cashmere are great bathrobes for cold climates. Plush, full-length robe "sacks" with hem closures retain body heat to ward off chills.
Breathable 100% woven or knit cotton fabrics, including the perennial favorite seersucker, provide comfortable coverage in humid, non-air-conditioned areas. Silk provides the best of both worlds with both warmth and breathable fabric.
