Rocking a robe is one of the easiest, and cosiest, ways of looking effortlessly stylish and put together. Honestly, it doesn’t get any comfier whilst keeping it chic than it does when you step out with an ethereal robe draped over your favourite classic outfit or dress. It might not be the first piece that you veer towards when you’re dressing yourself in the morning, but soon you’ll be reaching for it without batting an eyelid – promise! Here are a few inspirational outfit ideas to take that robe from the sheets to the streets if you need a little more convincing…
Contemporary LBD
The little black dress is an absolute classic, in fact, you really can’t find anything more timeless or chic if you tried. However, this can mean that it can tend to feel a little dated when you’ve given it one too many outings as of late. If you’re looking to shake it up, why not drape a black, grey or cream cashmere or satin robe over the top? Pair with knee high leather boots and a worn leather satchel bag for an easy, striking autumn winter look.
Pyjama Chic
The pyjama chic trend started a few years ago and has evolved to become a firm style favourite in every stylish woman’s wardrobe – and it’s very easy to see why. Channel this elegant and ever so comfortable trend by layering your robe over your favourite silk slip dress. Add some platform heels, chunky hoop earrings and pile your hair into a ballerina bun for a ladylike take on pyjama chic.
Comfortable Tailoring
Feeling a little stuffy in that suit of yours? Workwear doesn’t have to be uncomfortable, in fact, think about how much happier you’d be working from the comfort of your favourite snuggly cashmere robe! Keep it professional by pairing your robe with a crew neck tee or blouse and a pair of tailored paper bag pants – a muted colour palette of greys, khakis and black with hints of gold jewellery here and there will be the perfect balance between polished and pretty, perfect for the office.
Elegant Evening Wear
Yep, you can wear that robe out and about on an evening out! Keep it cool and contemporary by pairing with some eye catching black leather pants and a silky black cami top. Swipe on some wine coloured lipstick, add some chunky resin jewellery and step into your party heels!
Lady of Leisure
Loungewear has grown up a lot in the past few years, keeping us all comfortable and cute whilst we relax at home – which really is the dream, isn’t it? Choose matching materials and shades to create a cosy chic look that’s anything but boring. Try some flare knitted pants, a slinky knit strap top or tee shirt and finish with your robe! You’ve never been so at ease whilst looking so elegant, promise!
Weekend Wonder
The weekend is the time for feeling relaxed, and when the chill starts to set in but you’re not quite ready to ditch your trusty jeans and tee shirt combo, layering your robe over the top can be the perfect trans-seasonal solution! Wear with a pair of white leather sneakers and grab an oversized basket bag for a touch of French chic.
And there you have it! Some amazing ideas for wearing your robe to so many different occasions, seems like a real waste to save it just for your evenings in now, right?
