4 Tips to Choose the Right Bathrobe

Bathrobes are a staple in any woman’s wardrobe, and for good reason. They’re versatile, comfortable, and most importantly, stylish. However, with so many options on the market, it can be difficult to decide which one to buy. In this blog post, we will provide you with four tips to help you choose the right bathrobe for your needs.

  1. Pick the right fabric
  2. Understand the size you need
  3. Choose an ideal color of pattern
  4. Find the perfect design for your needs

What material you should choose?

When you're looking for  a new bathrobe, there are a few things to consider. Material is one of the most important factors to look at, as different materials will offer different levels of warmth and comfort.

Here are a few tips to help you choose the right bathrobe for your needs:

Wool: Bathrobes made from wool are warm and comfortable but can be heavy and take up more space in your closet than other types of bathrobes.

Linen: Linen is a traditional, natural material made from flax. Flax is strong, with a beautiful structure. Linen fabric is highly absorbent and barely shrinks in the wash. A linen bathrobe feels light and cool against the skin; it is compact for when you are travelling and becomes more comfortable the more you use it. 

 

Silk and Satin: Silk and satin are two of the most luxurious fabrics for your bathrobes. They feel amazing against skin, but they don’t absorb water or retain warmth like other fabrics might do so you need to take that into consideration when choosing what type of clothing is best suited towards bathing occasions! Silk is a more breathable fabric that can help to regulate temperature, making it a much cooler and more comfortable choice for warm weather.

 

Polyester: Polyester is a durable, quick-drying fabric, however, it’s not very breathable. At the same time polyester bathrobes are not the most environmentally-friendly clothing item. They can cause pollution by releasing harmful chemicals into our oceans, and they often contain microplastics which end up there after one wash!

Cotton: Cotton is a great choice if you plan to wear your bathrobe outside of the house. Cotton robes are warm but not as bulky as other types of robes, they're easy to care for, and they tend to come in many different colors and styles.

Look for certifications like OEKO-TEX Standard 100 which show the product has been made using sustainable practices. All of SMPL OBJECTS’s  bathrobes are OEKO-TEX certified.

 

Choose the right size

When trying to find the perfect fit for a bathrobe, it’s important that you know and understand some measurements manufacturers often refer to. Pay attention below when choosing your size from our selection of robes!

  • Length: This is the distance between the neck’s center to the ankle. For bathrobes, the length is the measurement between the collar of the bathrobe to its hem.
  • Width: The bathrobe's width means the circumference of your skirt. It should fully envelop or cover you without being too loose or tight, and it needs to do this in such a way that its not revealing any skin when wrapped around yourself.
  • Sleeve: Sleeve lengths are crucial when buying a robe. There’s no problem with preferring bathrobe sleeves that reach the middle area of your fingers. It’s a matter of preference — some want shorter, elbow-length sleeves. In the bathrobe size chart framework, the sleeve length is the measurement between the shoulder seam to the sleeve cuff.
  • Sleeve Opening: You don't have to worry about the sleeve opening when buying a bathrobe. But it's good for you know what size arms are when buying clothes for other people in general.
  • Belt: The belt of a bathrobe should always be proportionate to your waist size.
  • Sweep: The sweep is the measurement of the bathrobe’s bottom hem from edge to edge.



Pick the perfect design for your needs

Choosing the right bathrobe can make a big difference when it comes to your comfort and style. Here are some tips to help you choose the right one.

Now that you're all set to buy a new bathrobes, here's three things you should keep in mind: 

  • A bathrobe with or without hood.
  • If you're looking for a robe that will keep you warm on cold days, consider getting one with a hood. Hooded robes are especially effective at preventing your head and neck from freezing since the hood blocks out external heat and drafts. You can find robes with hoods in both winter and summer styles, so whether you're planning to stay cozy indoors or take advantage of chilly outdoor weather, there's a perfect robe for you.

  • Bathrobes with pockets
  • It is often practical to have a place where you can store your things after the shower.. Make sure that these pocked are big enough and just what we need!



    Choose the ideal color or pattern

    When choosing patterns and colours for your new bathrobes, you need to be thinking long-term. Do you want something classic with sophisticated colors that will still look up to date years from now or do you prefer a cool modern design coupled by vibrant hues? We at SMPL OBJECTS have  timeless patterns in our selection so no matter how long an outfit lasts at home - they're sure not going out of style anytime soon!
