Style Trends

Robes are ideal casual wear. You can sport a stylish robe while relaxing by the pool or Jacuzzi; you can wear a robe getting in and out of bed; and nothing is as comfortable going to and from the shower as a nice terry bathrobe. If you want a great and versatile gift for a woman on Christmas, or on her birthday, how about a new luxury bathrobe?

There are women out there who collect robes, and it's easy to see why. There is a great variety of styles available so that its easy for a woman to accumulate a quantity of different styles. Do you want a new bathrobe? Are you thinking of gifting someone else with a great, comfortable robe? Consider the many choices of styles that are available.

Hooded Bathrobe

Some of the nicer bathrobes out there come with an attached hood. Why worry about catching a cold with your wet hair, when you can simply pull up that soft terry hood and have your head stay snug and warm until your hair finally dries?

If you’re lucky enough to own a winter vacation home with an outdoor jacuzzi, this is the robe you need to get in and out. If you know someone who has just moved to a colder climate, how about surprising them with a warm, cozy hooded housecoat the next time you have to get them a gift?

Ballerina Robe

For warm summer days, by contrast, consider owning a ballerina robe. These airy garments usually end above knee-level, and are perfect for lounging by the pool, getting out of bed, and or simply prancing around the house. The light fabric makes these robes an ideal gift for someone who lives where there are hot, dry summers.

Full Length Robe

This is the robe with which you’re most likely to be provided at a fancy hotel or resort. They go down close to the floor, and usually have a belt or a sash to keep them from opening. They can be made of thick or thin fabric, depending on the buyer’s preferences. If you don’t hurriedly want to wrap yourself in an uncomfortable towel when you’re going in and out of the shower, a full-length robe is probably your best solution. Give this one to a woman who wants to spend her mornings in comfort and style.

Bathrobes as Gifts

As described above, bathrobes make great gifts for women for nearly all occasions. Imagine:

· Your lady is going backpacking through Europe? Give her a robe as a going-away present, so she can comfortably shower in crowded hostels.

· Having a white Christmas? Give her a luxurious cosy robe with a hood for warmth while its snows outside.

· Is she expecting a baby? Give her a pretty robe on her baby shower, so she has a stylish alternative to the ugly hospital gown.

Choosing the correct bathrobe for a woman is very easy. Just ask yourself some basic questions. Consider the weather when she wears it? Will the lady be wearing the robe indoors or outdoors? What colors does she like? Does she already have a closet-full of bathrobes? What style of women’s robe is she missing from her collection? Answer these questions, and you’re set!

It doesn’t matter if you have just gotten out of the shower, or preparing to go to bed, there is always something so nice about a soft and fluffy bathrobe. There are so many reasons for owning a robe that most of us own a few, for all those times when we need them.

BATHROBES AS GIFTS

Buying a bathrobe as a present is never a bad idea but you need to ensure that it is a thoughtful one. Are you buying it for an expendant soon-to-be mum, or maybe for a special occasion?

Actually it doesn’t matter at all, as long as you are thinking about the person the robe is intended for. Think if it is a fabric she will like, also find out that she does not already own one like it.

The bathrobe, or robe as it is called, is definitely a very versatile item of clothing. Robes can be used as part of our pajamas, when getting out from the shower, or from the swimming pool and spa. Most people prefer a new one to take with if they need to spend some time in hospital, and most enjoy receiving one as a gift.

Many women have more than one bathrobe hanging in their closets. For many they are somewhat like shoes in that there is no such thing as having too many. Whether you are intending to buy a new robe as a gift for someone, or you are planning to buy one for yourself, you can have your pick.

THE HOODED BATHROBE

When it comes to seasonal gifts nothing can beat a long, thick hooded bathrobe in winter. Naturally, they can be used after getting out of the shower or after a quick swim in the pool on a cold and nippy day.

THE BALLERINA ROBE

Unlike the luxurious hooded bathrobe the ballerina robe is considerably different. These are usually made from a thinner material and only come to the knee. Naturally a lot of women like using these robes beside the pool and at the spa. It is really great for the summer time, because they are not too hot when you are wearing them, like you would in a hooded style robe!

THE FULL LENGTH ROBE

This is usually the robe one finds in hotels, spas, etc, and most women own at least one of these as well. The Robes are available in a wide range of different fabrics such as terry cloth and various other luxurious materials like satin. Generally they can be either thick and heavy, or light, and make use of a sash in the same fabric to keep it wrapped closed around the body.

BATHROBES AS GIFTS

There are lots of reasons why you should consider buying a woman in your life a robe. Perhaps as a going away present if she is off on a vacation. Mentioned already, Robes make really great birthday or Christmas presents so why not consider buying one. And let us not forget that a new mum would also appreciate one as she heads into hospital to have her baby.

Whereas when making a choice of a bathrobe as a present for the love of your life, this is not a difficult thing to do,always consider some things before making your decision. Obviously, if she lives in a particularly warm place you should not give her a thick hooded bathrobe! Also, consider her tastes. Buy her one in her favorite color. And, if possible, you should also determine that the style you choose is different to what she already owns.

Do you think that women’s robes make a boring present? Think again. Of course, they can be if you buy her a plain old bathrobe like the one she already has; but what about if you buy her a soft, indulgent luxury bathrobe that will make her feel like she is at Marienbad? Whenever she goes to the shower, it will be like she’s at a luxury spa somewhere in the Swiss Alps, and she’ll be thinking of your present.

Real, Quality Women’s Bathrobes

The difference between an average women’s bathrobe, and a magnificent one, lies in the fabric, and in the way the robe is cut. A good quality men’s or women’s robe can be made from silk or from a soft thick cotton. It is the weight of the cotton which determines the warmth of the bathrobe. The coziest robes are made of thick, 20 oz cotton. Perhaps they’re even lined with terrycloth inside, to keep the lucky wearer extra warm on those days when he or she decides to take an invigorating swim in an icy mountain lake.

Some of the best quality robes are available with a detachable lining. On hot days, when you want to wear something light as you hold a quiet conversation in the shade of an acacia tree, the silk-and-terrycloth lining detaches from its thick, microfiber exterior and caresses your skin with its cooling touch. Oh – that’s a great feeling!

Luxury Robes That Are Eco-Friendly

So, you’ve decided to give her a thick, European-style brushed-cotton robe as a gift, but you’re wondering if you can also give her a gift that will help your environment? Did you know that you can purchase luxurious, ecologically sound that are made entirely out of organic fabrics? Organic cotton, linen and hemp fabric can be made to be comfortable against the skin and doesn’t have to be rough. Hemp robes can be made out of fabric that is twice as thick as that of your standard bath towel, and as soft as a kitten. Linen robes, made out of fabric that was created completely without the aid of harmful substances, can feel as thick as if they were made out of fur (of course, in reality, they’re totally cruelty-free). Most eco-friendly robes are also people-friendly–they’re woven and put together by skilled craftspeople who are paid a fair wage.
