Buying Guide
Call them what you will: housecoats, dressing robes, house dresses or patio dresses. These are all similar garments that people wear in and around the house. They differ from bathrobes, but you can use them the same way.
Put one on after getting out of the shower (after drying off) and remove it when you need to get dressed. You generally wear a housecoat for more extended amounts of time; you might remember seeing your mother with hers on while she was making breakfast. This multi-purpose clothing is excellent for everything from wearing while putting on makeup to having coffee to working from home; you can wear them over your PJs or as casual wear.
Housecoats aren’t usually made with absorbent materials (terrycloth, for example) like robes but are still used interchangeably. They usually stay on better because they have front zippers or buttons instead of sashes or belts. House dresses are also designed to fit loosely and can have short sleeves, long sleeves or be sleeveless. Look for ones with big pockets; these are great for stashing things like cell phones.
Spring and summer housecoats are made from lighter materials like cotton and polyester, but keep in mind that the former will wrinkle more than the latter. You’ll want to have other ones made from warmer materials to wear when it’s colder. Housecoats usually hit at the knee or a bit lower and can have various kinds of necklines. The more traditional styles are one color or standard patterns like stripes, but you can find modern ones that have bolder ones.
What to Look For
- Tie wraps are fine for bathrobes, but they usually don’t stay tight for long; buttons and zippers are best for housecoats.
- Housecoats usually don’t have hoods, but bathrobes do have them, and you can put them up to help dry your hair.
- Longer-length housecoats with long sleeves are best for chilly weather; fleece is incredibly cozy. However, longer-length housecoats can be harder to walk in and easier to trip over.
- Most housecoats are machine washable, but always read the label before laundering.
- You may need to air-dry cotton housecoats, as the material is more prone to shrinking and wrinkling.
- If you aren’t wearing clothing under your housecoat, you should be sure to wash it more often.
- Pretty housecoats make great bridesmaid’s gifts; they can all wear matching ones when getting ready together (excellent photo op!).
