All About Bathrobes - Our Indulgently Soft Collection
Robes in the Early Days
The earliest descriptions of robes date back to ancient civilizations including Greece, Rome, China and Japan. Over their long history, robes have been worn by everyone from priests and officials for important rituals and ceremonies, to royalty displaying their embroidered silk pieces of art. Robes eventually gained more widespread use among everyday people with the advent of dressing gowns and robes as outer garments in the early 18th century.
Initially, these dressing gowns were designed just for men to wear in the mornings and evening, but by the mid-19th century women got their chance to dress more comfortably, too. A robe was much more comfortable for wearing around home than going around in a restrictive corset! The bathing robe was then introduced in the early 20th century, which led to even more widespread robe use among the people. For many years, a bathing robe was considered to be the only decent thing to wear out on the beach! Obviously, accepted conventions for what constitutes “appropriate” bathing suits and covers have continued to evolve quite a bit since that time…
Robes Today
The modern bathrobe we know today is often worn after bathing or swimming, but robes are versatile garments and can now be worn for a multitude of reasons in any season. It’s really all a matter of your particular style tastes and robe usage preferences. Besides wearing after a bath, robes are useful for putting on when you first get up in the morning. They’re also great for slipping on before bedtime while you’re relaxing for the evening. Lounging around the pool or spending some time at the beach? A robe is also an excellent way to protect yourself from too much sun or wind, or just to afford yourself some extra privacy.
