Bathrobes

The best material for a bathrobe depends on your preferences and its use. Cotton is generally preferred for its softness and high absorbency, perfect after a shower or bath. Terry cloth, on the other hand, is excellent for quickly absorbing water, while satin or polyester are often used for lighter or more elegant robes.

The grammage of a bathrobe corresponds to its weight in grams per square meter (g/m²) and determines its thickness and absorption capacity. A grammage between 400 and 600 g/m² is ideal for an absorbent and comfortable bathrobe. Lighter bathrobes, around 200-300 g/m², are preferable for warm climates or for lighter use.

The size of a bathrobe should be chosen based on your height and body type. For adults, sizes range from S (Small) to XXL (Extra Large). If you are unsure between two sizes, it is recommended to choose a slightly larger size for optimal comfort. A bathrobe should be loose enough to allow freedom of movement.

The main difference between a bathrobe and a dressing gown lies in their use and material. The bathrobe is generally used after a bath or shower, made from absorbent materials like cotton or terry cloth. The dressing gown, on the other hand, is more of an indoor garment, often made from lighter fabrics like satin, velvet, or fleece.

A bathrobe is often lighter and shorter than a robe. It is primarily designed to quickly dry the body after a shower or bath. The bathrobe can be equipped with buttons or fasteners to stay in place.
The robe, on the other hand, is generally longer and thicker, covering more of the body and providing more warmth and comfort after a bath or shower. It often comes with a belt for a perfect fit.
