Benefits of Bathrobes

Robes, bathrobes, housecoats, dressing gowns or cover-ups the benefits of bathrobes are as varied as what you call them. Bathrobes perform three main functions.

Putting on robes after a bathing prevents chills. Bathrobe fabrics are often absorbent to aid the drying process while providing warmth and modesty.
After swimming cover-up robes provide absorbency, a barrier against breezes and sunlight, as well as concealment.
Wear robes to wind down at night or wake up in the morning.

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.
