What is the difference between a robe and a bathrobe?

In our EQN website, there are robes and bathrobes. As you know bathrobes are included in robes. In contrast, robes are used in a wider range of applications. The more formal robes can even be worn out of the house and are just as elegant. But how much do you know about the specific differences and interconnections between the two?

Design style aspects

·Robes are usually a little on the formal side. As an everyday garment that can be worn out of the house, it is designed to be more formal. At some parties or events, you are often more likely to see people socializing in robes. Even in some religious ceremonies, people may feel that wearing a robe is more in line with the atmosphere.

Robes come in a variety of styles, buttoned or unbuttoned, symmetrical or asymmetrical, with or without a belt. They are usually designed with a wide hemline to suit different occasions. If you want to go to the top floor, you can take the stairs in a robe without any difficulty.

·Bathrobes are designed specifically for after bathing, so there is not as much variety in design styles. Most of them are designed with a cross neck plus a belt, or a zipper model. Some of them can be put on directly over the body, which is very convenient. Bathrobes are generally simple and easy to put on and take off. There is no excessive decoration, mainly loose and comfortable.

Uses and Scenarios

·Maybe all you have in mind right now is that you can wear a robe when you’re at home. But that’s actually not true. Some special professions or scenarios also utilize robes. For example, your graduation ceremony. This is the time when everyone wears robes of professionally specific colors to get your diploma. Aside from the students who would wear them, the faculty and staff would also wear them at that time.

Apart from the above scenario, another identity is that of a judge or a lawyer. Depending on their status identity, they would choose different styles of robes. This is to imply their different roles in the legal system.

·As the name suggests, a bathrobe is primarily a piece of clothing used to cover the privacy of the body. And to keep the body dry after bathing. The scene of use is rather limited, mainly at home. Or you go out to throw a garbage to or trip to the convenience store is also reasonable. Compared to robes, bathrobes show more skin. Therefore there are many people who shy away from wearing them out of the house. Thinking that they are only good to wear when staying at home or in bed.

Material aspects

·Due to the out-door-able nature of the robe, the fabrics chosen for it are usually of a good texture. Fabrics such as satin and leather are usually chosen to show off the high quality of this robe. In addition, the fabric of the robe is also a status symbol. The better the texture and design, the higher status people will think you are.

·Bathrobes emphasize comfort and practicality, so they are generally made of cotton, coral fleece, facecloth and other fabrics. These materials are not only soft and skin-friendly, but also extremely absorbent. Giving the user the most ultimate experience.

Overall, the main differences between a long run and a bathrobe are in terms of design, purpose and material. A robe is more suitable for some formal occasions where you need to go out, and the design is more elegant and sophisticated. Bathrobes are more focused on comfort and breathability, and are more simple in design. Choose according to the occasion you want to go out for!
