What to Look for in Women’s Robes
At the end of the day, we all just want to be comfortable. After a long day of work, nothing sounds better than slipping into a comfy women’s robe. Whatever your plans are for the evening, whether you are staying in or going out, you’ll feel better after spending time in a luxurious house robe.
Women’s robes aren’t just for lounging at the end of the day while sipping martinis and spilling tea with friends. This staple wardrobe requirement is great for all day, every day. And even some nights if you are ready to leave your den looking fierce while feeling fantastic.
But like any other wardrobe staple, you must feel good about how your house robe feels and fits, or you are less likely to enjoy it daily. Think about why you want a women’s robe. Where and how often will you wear it? You want to feel good in your body and your appearance, inside the den and out, so let’s give some thought to what the best women’s robe would be for you.
Primary Uses for Women’s Robes
Like every piece of a resourceful wardrobe, the house robe has several uses. A women’s robe is a famously flexible and fashionable choice for a variety of purposes. And as it should be, it depends on the woman wearing the house robe to decide which role it will play each time she wears it. And don't forget... for a night out on the town we have Style Robes designed to showcase your bad self out in the urban jungle, so if your looking less for cozy and more for fashion, be sure to peruse our entire collection of women's robes!
Uses for Women’s Robes:
- Stay dry
- Keep warm
- Be comfortable
- Look fierce
A house robe can be an ideal choice to wrap around shoulders after a hot shower. Snuggling up with movies and snacks in a hooded robe can create the perfect evening any day of the week. Another important use for a women’s robe is comfort – to the touch, to the soul, and for any activity planned for the evening.
Maybe we should consider a fourth use for a women’s robe – to look fierce and fashionable. In our homes or out on the streets, women like to look good. When we are comfortable, we are confident. And there is nothing a confident woman can’t do.
How Do I Choose the Right Robe?
A house robe is a special piece of clothing that makes us feel warm and cozy. It’s not a luxury item – it’s a necessity. The only question is – what is the right women’s robe for me? Beyond the purpose of the robe, we also want to consider the fit and style.
When considering your options in a house robe, weigh each option carefully. The correct decision will result in the ideal wardrobe staple that never leaves your body. Well, except when you go out. Or maybe not even then…
House Robe Sizing Chart
Shoulder – take from the edge of one shoulder to the other
Chest/bust – circumference around the bust area
Waist and hip – these correlate directly with the width of the women’s robe
Should I Size Up with a Women’s Robe?
Each brand of house robe has its own sizing chart. When taking your measurements, allow a few extra inches for wiggle room to be sure your robe has a loose, comfortable fit. If you aren’t sure exactly what you need to measure, brush up on some of these measurement terms to help ensure your house robe fits like a luxurious hug.
What are the Measurement Terms for Women’s Robes?
Length – the distance from the center of the neck to the ankle or from the collar to the hem
Width – the circumference of the house robe skirt
Sleeve – the measurement from the shoulder to the sleeve cuff
Sleeve opening – not typically an issue, but be sure the opening is generous
Belt – the length of the belt should be in proportion with the waist measurement
Sweep – measurement of the house robe’s hem from edge to edge
Some of these measurements are a matter of preference. You may want the sleeve of your house robe to reach the middle of your fingers, while others want the sleeve to brush just below the elbow. All measurements are good to just keep in mind when considering the most comfortable fit for a women’s robe. Also, SpiritHoods house robes for women has an adjustable cuff, so you can cater it to your individual arm length.
What Do You Look for in a House Robe?

The feel and fit of your house robe will define the amount of time you will spend in it.
So, take your time, Queen – you’ve got all-day comfort on the line.

A shawl collar robe has a collar with a continuous curve or lapel. The collar is practical and stylish, dating back to the Victorian times and smoking jacket collars. It has its advantages in terms of practicality and is comfortable to lounge in as well as an excellent choice for drying off.
