I own a couple, but I haven’t used them in years. my go-to clothing for after shower or comfortable evening wear is a pair of very light, stretchy long pants (not sweat pants, though) and a T-shirt or sweat shirt. Often I’ll forgo the shirt, which drives my wife Pepper Mill crazy, because she’s usually bundled up, freezing. “How can you sit there like that?” she’ll ask.
Yes. It’s what I wear in the morning between when I get out of bed and when I shower.
I used to always have a robe. I’d put it on in the morning on weekends and in the evening after I changed out of my work clothes.
I have no use for one in the morning because I go from my bed to the bathroom and get dressed immediately to take the dogs for a walk. When I get home from work, I change into walking clothes again. After dinner, I take a shower and put on sweats or lounge pants (fleece or flannel) and either a tank top or t-shirt as soon as I dry off. Roaming around in a bathrobe is uncomfortable. Especially if you’re naked underneath.
Jim Gaffigan has a funny bit about bathrobes.
No. I feel ridiculous even at the suggestion that I would.
Had one years ago but when it bit the dust I never bothered to replace it. Summer is shorts and a t-shirt around the house in the morning. Winters are sweats. A bathrobe seems rather…superfluous to my needs.
I have no less than three. Whether to call them bathrobes, dressing gowns, or something else is I suppose a matter of opinion. I don’t have any of those towel-like fluffy things that would definitely be called a “bathrobe”, they’re more like things that you could wear around the house, as indeed sometimes I do for the entire day – something that started to become a habit after I retired. I’ve never been big on sweatpants and the like. I’ll either stay in one of my robes or else get into jeans and T-shirt or sweatshirt.
I do have a number of suits and dress shirts dating back to different times which I haven’t worn in a great many years. Somewhere in my clothing museum is also a collection of some nice ties, but I’m not sure I remember how tie one! It all used to be subconscious, now I’m not sure which end goes into which loop. These days jeans and a T-shirt is my “formal wear”.
Sure I use one.
We keep our heat at 64 all winter, so a robe is essential to be warm. I also wear it after a shower to completely dry off.
Nope. Sleep in a t-shirt, get up, switch to a clean t-shirt and jeans, make coffee/breakfast/shower.
But all my life I’ve gotten presents (that I would NEVER use) from my mother and my aunt… that were clearly meant to steer me towards being “a wholesome American male”: after-shave, cuff links, ties and tie tacks, cheap ROLEX knockoffs, and numerous bathrobes.
Mine is wool (washable but line dry) Light enough for summer, adds some warmth in the winter. I wear it in the house as well as running out to the mailbox or trash can. Pricey, but I when I bought it I waited it out for a 50% discount. Have had it for over 10 years now. It gets a lot of “That’s really a nice robe” comments.
Picture (I have the red one):
Love my bathrobe, it’s first thing on in the morning to take the house dogs outside, and I wear it until I absolutely have to get dressed for going to work or to do outside chores on the weekends. Once the kennel dogs are fed for the night and all the projects done, it goes back on, no matter the weather. It’s my go-to loungewear, for sure.
I have two, and use neither of them. One is a massive oversized towelling affair with a hood. It’s very nice but far too big for me so it’s ok to use as a blanket but not for the intended purpose. The other one is nice and fluffy, but most of the time I’d be too hot. As I’m not in old lady menopause land, I have a lovely crocheted shawl that I wear if I’m lounging on the sofa feeling chilly.
I have two - a thick white ‘hotel style’ one for winter, and a lightweight short cotton one for summer than I acquired from a hotel in Thailand.
I wear one daily - I sleep in the buff, so throw one on to go downstairs first thing to make a cup of tea. I share them with my wife, as we take it in turns to make the tea.
I don’t lounge around the house in them. Thinking about it, I don’t have any ‘lounge about the house’ clothes.
I have several, one of which is a Japanese kimono that is nice for summer. I often keep one on till after breakfast.
I have three and used to have more. I always bring one when traveling. (Back when I traveled…)
My wife has many and wears them often. She likes to pick up the expensive hotel ones when there is one that strikes her fancy.
I have none.
I haven’t owned a bathrobe in a few decades. Slippers either.
I have one, but I never wear it unless there is someone staying with us. Naked trips to the bathroom don’t play well. When it gets below freezing at night, I’ll use it as an extra blanket, as it’s a thick microfiber.
I don’t have slippers, but I have house shoes. Anybody with diabetes who doesn’t wear footwear of some sort around the house is just asking for major problems.
Sorry to hear that. If it’s not too much of a tangent, what kind of problems?
Summer, no. But as soon as it’s too cool for AC and I don’t want to heat the house up with the furnace just yet, then I wear a bathrobe quite a bit. Mrs Mallard is the same way.
Yes. Three.
ETA: And I use them often.
