Are Silk Robes Worth the Money?
Satin and silk robes have a smooth feel and make great loungewear. If you want a robe for your next beach holiday or weekend away, a silk kimono robe packs small and looks good. Unlike cotton, silk and satin absorb very little water.
With so many types of silk nightgowns, bath robes and fabrics to choose from, it can be hard to decide which is right for you.
Satin and silk dressing gowns need delicate care. They are not the best option for heavy use, but they are perfect for special occasions (even if that occasion is a quiet night in).
The choice of robe fabrics can feel a little daunting, but knowing the strengths of each type makes finding your best fit easier.
At the end of the day, every robe has the same job: to keep you comfortable and relaxed.
Which Bath Robe Fabric Type is Right for Me?
Different robes have different uses. The right robe material for you depends on a few things:
Weight: Weight decides how warm your robe feels. In a cooler climate you may want a heavy fabric that holds heat well, like flannel or wool. A thinner fabric, like bamboo, suits a warmer place.
Upkeep: Some fabrics, like cashmere, need dry cleaning and more care, so they are best kept for special occasions. You may prefer a lower-maintenance fabric for everyday use.
Absorbency: Choose a fabric that absorbs water well if you plan to wear it straight out of the bath or pool. Satin and silk robes do not absorb much water, so they are better for lounging at home.
Price: Premium fabrics cost more. If you are paying for an expensive fabric, check it carefully to make sure it is the real thing and not an imitation.
Also, make sure the robe is the right size. A great fabric is no use if the robe does not fit.
