Another bathroom accessory that’s gaining popularity among men and women are the hooded bath robes. There’s no denying that after a long tiring day at work or at home, people consider taking a long and luxurious bath their only respite from the stresses of day to day life.
From experience after a long refreshing bath, it’s an added comfort to be able to snuggle down and unwind with nothing else bath a cotton bathrobe. I have nothing against terry cloths, except that they are sometimes too heavy, and so I looked for something that somehow flowed with my movements. I found this in the hooded bath robe.
If you can’t picture how it looks like, imagine a monk or a young prizewinner after a match. Yes, those are examples of hooded bath robes – and don’t let the name mislead you, these very comfortable and versatile pieces of clothing are good to be worn outside the bathroom if you wish.
In fact hooded bath robes now come in a variety of cuts, styles, designs, colors and weights to suit different purposes. Still boasting of overall comfort and warmth, hooded bath robes are used as cover alls, light coats, sports jackets or slip ons while women apply make up. The hood feature makes for extra coverage during particularly cold or windy days and provide excellent protection for those hour-long hairdos.
A few types of hooded bath robes currently in vogue are the ballerina, monk, full length hooded bath robe and many more. The reason why its so popular is because the fabric is mostly velour which is a lighter material than cotton. Thus it allows freedom of movement and gives a “second skin” feeling to the person wearing it.
In addition, you can go from comfortable to daring to sexy and distinguished just by changing the type of hooded bath robe you wear. The important thing is to match the robe you are wearing to the occasion you are at or your purpose for wearing one. Surely you wouldn’t want to be stuck with a thin ballerina hooded robe when it’s already snowing hard outside.
On the other hand, if you plan to wear snuggle down with your hooded bath robe after a bath or a massage, best to get the thicker terry cloth ones which guarantee comfort and assure you of a good night’s sleep.
Finally, as with any other bath robe, consider purpose, length, and fabric when shopping for hooded bath robes… you’ll never go wrong!
