FAQs
What is the best robe for warm weather?
It may be hard to conceive of wanting to wear another layer of clothing when it’s already hot. However, a lightweight “summertime” robe comes in handy for the pool or when you’re on vacation. Modal, linen, silk or even satin are good robe materials for warm weather. They’re light and breathable, so you shouldn’t start sweating as soon as you put them on.
Similarly, waffle or terry cloth robes are also great for hotter months. Not only are they absorbent and moisture-wicking but light.
What is the warmest material for a robe?
For chilly fall and winter months, you’ll want to upgrade to a fleece or wool robe. They’re warm, keep heat in and the cold — for the most part — out!
The reason fleece robes are so warm is because they have a pile surface. This helps keep your body’s heat locked between the material’s fibers.
What is the best robe to wear when wet?
For a robe to enjoy straight out of the shower, go for one made of terry cloth. They’re more absorbent, which means you’re less likely to feel uncomfortably moist — we’re sorry, we had to use the word — as you dry your hair or do your makeup.
Waffle robes are also a good choice. They’re lightweight (making them tops for vacations or other places you may be splashing around) and dry fast.
