All About Bathrobes
The bathrobes of today started off as merely a cross between a nightshirt and a
towel. Tired housewives and the elderly regarded bathrobes as the quick answer
to their clothing needs when they didn't have time to spend on their wardrobe or
they need to wear something comfortable as they worked or relaxed.
From humble beginnings, these soft and thick bathrobes have evolved into a
fashion statement; professional designers now create them. There are even
bathrobes that are scented, providing therapeutic effects to the people wearing
them. Today, bathrobes offer a feel-good sense to all who wear them, whether
they’re hopping out of the tub or shower or just relaxing on a reclining chair
watching TV.
Bathrobe Uses
A bathrobe acts as a quick and comfortable cover-up when you come out of the
shower, tub or pool. You can also wear a bathrobe when you go about your daily
routine in your home. Many Americans today admit that they are far more
comfortable in their bathrobes than in their regular pajamas or night gowns.
Slipping into a bathrobe while performing your usual morning routine (such as
doing your hair, brushing your teeth or shaving) allows you to avoid any
unfortunate accidents that might mess up your clothing, forcing you to change
before you could even step out of the house. Thanks to bathrobes that come
complete with snaps or Velcro closures, you never have to worry about your towel
falling off at unfortunate times.
Bathrobe Styles
The bathrobes that are designed for women are typically made larger on demand,
covering the underarms to just above the knees (although a shorter thigh-length
version is available and quite popular among the younger lot). Bathrobes for men
cover from the waist up to just above the knees. One of the main advantages of
using bathrobes is that they are designed in such a way that they stay in place
far better than an ordinary towel would. In addition, they are usually made from
a higher quality fabric, which means that not only do they securely cover your
body, they also feel great to wear
Bathrobe Design Trends
There are several various styles of bathrobes available today -- anything from
ones that are thick and luxurious to ones that are thin and silky. Pullovers and
button-down robes are usually secured by sashes, which end in double-breasted
styles with ties up in front. Also, many bathrobes are designed with zippers and
Velcro closures along with strings on either side of the interior to help secure
the robe. Not only do bathrobes come in many styles, hey also come in many sizes
and children aren’t left out either! In fact, there are many bathrobe designs
that have more fanciful and age-appropriate characters printed on them, making
them great for the kids! |
