Even two of my winter robes are short...really part of a sick day capsule since they are used more like. bed jackets. Anyone remember them?<br /> I also want a long summer robe. The lightest I have is a cotton knit (a gift) but it is too heavy and warm for summer. A billowy kimono would be ideal, or pull on mumu. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2106187 Sun, 15 Mar 2020 10:01:04 +0000 Anonymous 2106187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread has made me want to update my robe capsule with a summer robe. &nbsp;My problem is I want longer robes and most of the robes I see in retail are geared toward winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2106062 Sat, 14 Mar 2020 13:45:35 +0000 Roberta 2106062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But of course! I also have a black watch flannel LL Bean robe for winter, a men's cut so it would be long and wrap around me thoroughly. And I have a light weight Natori robe for warmer weather. I used to have an in-between cotton robe, also from Natori, but it disappeared in a piece of lost luggage. Boo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105961 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 19:37:33 +0000 Sal 2105961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one winter blush cosy one and two short summer ones in patterns. I don’t wear them a whole lot as I exercise first thing most days. But I do like them for the odd sleepy morning and quite night in winter.</p> <p>Your capsule is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105956 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 19:23:30 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2105956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got a fleece one for winter, and two jersey knit ones for the rest of the year. I normally only wear them right after the shower. I don't like terry cloth robes, too heavy and take too long to dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105948 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 19:02:09 +0000 auditorycortex 2105948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silk is a great material for robes.&nbsp; Surprisingly I find less absorbent ones more wearable than thick cotton because they seem to remain cleaner longer.</p> <p>Length is another good question.&nbsp; Any length will do if I have pajama pants on underneath, but when I'm bare-legged I want the robe to act as a long insulating skirt.&nbsp; So some are knee-length, some are shin- or ankle-length.</p> <p>April, what are Hammam towels? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105934 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 18:21:02 +0000 Angie 2105934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wear robes, but yours look fab,<b> auditory cortex</b>!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105921 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 17:15:38 +0000 AviaMariah 2105921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I created a robe capsule when I was pregnant with my first and it was very used and loved throughout the infancy of both my kids.&nbsp; It looking a little ratty now and probably needs to be updated soon.&nbsp; I usually throw one on every morning before I get dressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105913 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 16:36:50 +0000 JAileen 2105913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot about my travel set: shortish seersucker robe and nightgown. &nbsp;I had to get a new set, after our stay on St Paul Island, Ak. &nbsp;Our lodging had been constructed as a dorm for Exxon, and the bathroom was down the hall. &nbsp;My old travel robe was a bit too short for comfort when passing strangers in the hallway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105909 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 16:32:10 +0000 Anonymous 2105909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a mini capsule of robes too! &nbsp;3 for F/W and 2 (I think) for S/S. &nbsp;I always keep an eye open for a nice crisp cotton one to layer over pj's in the summer ....for wearing out on the deck in the morning with coffee etc. &nbsp;Winter capsule is strictly about warmth &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105899 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 15:44:22 +0000 April 2105899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In winter, I love thick white terry robes like you find in hotels.&nbsp; In summer, I like a robe made of the fabric that Hammam towels are made of.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I prefer Hammam towels and robes for poolside as well.&nbsp; They dry much faster than terry and the towels stay put if you wrap them around your waist and tuck in.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105898 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 15:41:35 +0000 auditorycortex 2105898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to hear about all these, thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105897 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 15:39:33 +0000 nemosmom 2105897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I scrambled to buy one for the hospital just before son #1 was born, and left it at the hospital.

I just have one lightweight one for post shower, but wish I could find a sleeveless opaque one for summer (HEWI), and would like a nice silky or batik one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105856 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 12:11:22 +0000 RobinF 2105856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do too! I have a medium weight robe for daily use, not too warm not too cool. It is a tie waist and works after my shower to help dry my skin off (I hate getting dressed right away when my skin is still damp). Then I have a lightweight fleece for winter lounging in p.j.s and a light cotton zip up for summer p.j. lounging. They all work perfectly and I'll be sad when I have to replace them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105852 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 11:58:13 +0000 Anonymous 2105852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why yes, I do!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Sorry, no pictures.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I own two robes.&nbsp; </p> <p>The first is a red robe in a heavy, thick, thirsty terry cloth from Victory Secret.&nbsp; This was a great buy on my part because I got it on sale and the quality of this robe is beyond compare.&nbsp; It is mid-calf in length.&nbsp; Thick and warm during the winter months.&nbsp; Too thick and warm during the summer months.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The second robe is a men's full length silk robe in red.&nbsp; I wanted full length and due to my height I had to buy a men's garment.&nbsp; This proved to be a good decision.&nbsp; The silk is a nice quality and it is well made.&nbsp; </p> <p>Both my robes are years old.&nbsp; I tend to wear them more during winter months than summer months.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105841 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 10:45:23 +0000 Staysfit 2105841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two, one for fall/winter, and one for spring/fall. &nbsp;They have been durable as both are over 8 years old, and show little to no signs of wear despite daily use in their respective seasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105837 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 08:55:10 +0000 The Cat 2105837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your robe capsule is great and looks elegant as well as comfortable. </p> <p>I want my robes to be long and machine washable. At present, I have three ones . Two are in a silk-look fabric (cotton &amp; polyester) and look like your grey one, but are a bit more shiny. Mine are royal blue and deep grey. My third robe is in black velour with white embroidery on the shawl collar.</p> <p>I wear my thin blue robe in spring and summer, my thin grey one in spring and fall, and my thick black robe in winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-have-a-robe-capsule#post-2105826 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 03:15:03 +0000 Jessikams 2105826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a thick terry one for winter, and a nice cotton one for summer that my hubby had custom made for me!

I especially like them in luxurious fabrics! I wanted to share some of my capsule of 6 robes to show off recent purchases. </p> <p>The size of the capsule is an indulgence but the cost per wear is very low since I wear one every day in the mornings and the evenings. I am on the lookout for a very light short-sleeved robe for hot summer days.</p> <p>Would love to see other people's robes if you'd like to share. </p>
