If you love terry cloth and fleece, it can be challenging to choose the best robe. Each of these robes has its advantages, but you still need to settle for one. Terry cloth is a very absorbent cloth, and that is why it is a perfect robe if you want to wrap yourself around it in the morning or straight out of the shower.
Plush terry cloth robes are so heavenly mainly because of their tightly woven loops of plush, authentic Turkish cloth. It is made by artisans who have generations of expertise. It feels like an incredible luxury against your skin, especially if you are coming from a bath. The cloth is super absorbent and efficiently wicks away moisture.
A fleece robe makes you feel warm and cozy and can insulate the body from chilly weather. Its incredibly soft texture can make you feel wrapped up in a personal blanket. However, fleece robes are not so absorbent and do not have good material for soaking up moisture. It is a perfect robe for snuggling up just before bedtime. The bottom line is that you can have both robes hanging in your closet; one made of the robe and one made of fleece.
How to Choose and Wear Lingerie Plush Robes
Your lingerie wardrobe cannot be complete if you don’t have a beautiful wardrobe as a treasured item. The silk material and the transparent lace mesh add to the wonderful feeling as you slip into the robe. It provides enough inspiration as you get out of bed in the morning. Like many lingerie items, these robes can be both functional and decorative.
They shield you from weather elements while still providing a modest look when a visitor pops in and you are not yet adequately dressed. Your robe may accompany a gorgeous set of lingerie and can also be worn as you prepare for an evening out. The glamour and mystique that come with robes make them perfect for various occasions.
Since a robe might last you a lifetime, there is no need to sacrifice quality. Even though plush robes may be expensive, it is worth the price in the long run because it has many uses. Robes are also found in various sizes to fit a variety of body shapes and bust sizes.
In lingerie, robes can be truly unique because there are no specific sizing requirements. Even if you add or lose weight, the robe will still fit.
Comfort and Wearability ​
Many brands will offer basic robes with loose-fitting sleeves and a waist tie. Although this is advantageous because it fits all sizes, you need to go for a robe with a mice-tailored shape if you want to use it for a long time.
Your robe should be comfortable as well as wearable. If it is too big and loose, it will look shapeless and not feel comfortable. You also need to check the ties and closures. Some vintage robes will have hidden hooks inside to keep the robe closed.
Silk and satin ties can be slippery, and a tie will prove helpful. Nevertheless, even if a robe lacks a hook and an eye, these are easy additions to make to any robe.
Silk has good insulation properties as it is a natural fiber. It provides warmth during winter and keeps you cool on the summer days. It is available in different weights and feels lovely to wear.
It drapes beautifully and reflects the light. If you have the patience for washing silk, it is the perfect fabric for a robe. For those who don’t love silk, suitable quality polyester or rayon robes might be acceptable.
Lace and Sheer Robes
Nothing defines a woman more than lace or sheer fabric robe. The exquisite, contrasting elements of light and shade are beautiful to look at and feel good on the skin. There are more lace and mesh to show off, so they are the perfect summer robe to hang around in lazy mornings when they are layered with a chemise in the warmer months.
Winter Robes
Getting out of bed during cold winter mornings can be difficult. The warmest robes can inspire you to do just that and face the cold. Ideal fabrics for winter include cashmere, cotton blends, and velvet. Some feel that a heavier silk robe can still make a more excellent winter robe, but this all depends on the extent of the cold and what else you are wearing underneath.
Bridal Robes
You may have noticed a growing trend for wearing robes on the wedding day. A bride will be photographed while preparing for her big day and therefore will need something appropriate to wear. There is nothing better than a glamorous robe on such an occasion.
A poorly made robe is not worth investing in and will reflect a bad picture. Just a point to keep in mind; buy a high-quality robe that you would wear on any other day and not just the wedding day.
The length of the robes to be worn by the bridesmaids and the bride is also a factor to consider. Short robes may be prevalent during photo shoots, but if your bridesmaids feel uneasy wearing short robes, they will show and will not look great in photographs. The decision between long and short robes will depend on two main factors; the time of the year and personal preferences.
Long robes are ideal for cooler months, and short robes look great during warmer months. However, long robes seem more glamorous at any time of the year and are good if you want to cover up when answering the door quickly and are not adequately dressed. The design of the robe will also determine the length. Lace and sheer robes always look nice in short robes.
