Per Condura, you can use a bathrobe:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After showering to help with absorbency and to wear before getting dressed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As loungewear or as a layer for added warmth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As a dressing gown before putting on makeup to keep things clean<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Before a spa before treatment for coverage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Over pajamas or first thing in the morning when traveling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of bathrobes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bathrobes come in a variety of different fabrics, and they each can be worn in different situations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you\u2019re looking for something to wear post-shower, then you\u2019ll want one made from cotton to absorb water, says Condura.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want something to wear as a dressing gown, then silk or satin is a common choice. For warmth, thicker fabrics like velvet and fleece will do the trick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe most popular style in robes is the open front that typically comes with a self-tie belt for closure,\u201d Condura says. \u201cSome robes are also offered with hoods as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another style is what\u2019s called a towel wrap that can have optional straps. &#8220;These are typically fastened with Velcro to stay in place, says Condura.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Satin or silk robes meant for more decorative use can come in the open front style and even have embellishments, adds Condura.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Length<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Robes typically come in three lengths: short, mid-length, and long. Part of choosing the best length for you is personal preference and purpose, says Condura.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA shorter length may be better for warmer weather and it\u2019s easier to move around in,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;Longer lengths are great for staying cozy when it\u2019s cold out or if you\u2019d like full coverage.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to look for in a bathrobe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Material quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using a bathrobe primarily for after the shower, you\u2019ll want one with \u201cgood-quality fabric and softness to wrap yourself in,\u201d says Condura. Oftentimes, bathrobes like this are made from natural fabrics, she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Absorbency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since absorbency is a top feature of a bathrobe, one that\u2019s made from breathable fabric and dries quickly is particularly ideal, says Condura.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warmth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen warmth is what\u2019s most important, look for a robe with a thick material like velvet or fleece,&#8221; says Condura. &#8220;You\u2019ll want something that feels luxe and comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Durability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, robes that are made from good-quality fabrics and are well constructed will be durable and last you \u201cquite a long time,\u201d says Condura.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comfort and fit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, you\u2019ll of course want your bathrobe to be comfortable. It should be easy to move in and it should be non-constricting, explains Condura.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSoftness is also something to keep in mind,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen it comes to fit, consider if you want one that\u2019s true to size or more oversized.\u201d &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aesthetics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget that bathrobes can be surprisingly stylish. \u201cLook for details like pockets and what type of closure they have,\u201d says Condura. \u201cRobes come in many different colors to choose from.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for one that\u2019s more fashionable, some will even include design details like feathers, beading, and more decorative notions, she adds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to choose the right bathrobe size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering how to choose a bathrobe size, you\u2019ll want to consider how you want it to fit and what you\u2019ll be using it for, says Condura. You\u2019ll also want to think about if you\u2019ll be wearing it on its own or as a layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUse your typical size as a reference to start from,\u201d suggests Condura. \u201cA robe can fit true to size or oversized depending on preference.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fabric also plays a part. &#8220;For example, with a thinner material, you may want it to fit closer to the body,&#8221; says Condura. &#8220;It also depends on the type of closure the robe has\u2014if it comes with a belt, you can adjust the fit to your preference.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to care for your bathrobe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe best way to care for your bathrobe is to launder it according to the fabric\u2019s care instructions on the label,\u201d says Condura. \u201cEvery fabric is different, so read the label and clean it accordingly. Doing this will ensure longevity and protect the integrity of the material.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the best material for a bathrobe?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor a post-shower bathrobe, I love a chunky cotton or terry cloth robe,\u201d says Condura. \u201cFor lounging, a long velvet robe feels comfortable, luxurious, and warm. To use as a dressing gown, a silk robe is my favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What type of bathrobe is most comfortable?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor general use, I prefer a cotton robe,&#8221; says Condura. &#8220;It\u2019s soft and good to have as a bathrobe that\u2019s suitable for many purposes.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you know your bathrobe size?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by thinking through how you want your bathrobe to fit and what you\u2019ll be using it for, recommends Condura. Begin with your typical size as a reference, keeping in mind that a robe can fit true to size or be oversized.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fabric also comes into play\u2014with a thinner material, you may want it to fit closer to the body. You\u2019ll also want to note the type of closure a bathrobe has. If it comes with a belt, you can adjust the fit depending on your preference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many types of garments we wear around the house to feel our most comfortable, from&nbsp;pajamas&nbsp;to loungewear.&nbsp; A bathrobe is a clothing item that\u2019s perfect to wear during more specific times, such as after a&nbsp;bath&nbsp;or those moments when you really want to relax.&nbsp; In this article, we\u2019ll explain how to choose a bathrobe that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":35027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[384,411],"tags":[],"coauthors":[418],"guest":[],"host":[],"class_list":["post-35026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bedding","category-towels"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/70"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35026"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35058,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35026\/revisions\/35058"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35026"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=35026"},{"taxonomy":"guest","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guest?post=35026"},{"taxonomy":"host","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/host?post=35026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
