Simply put, all bathrobes are robes, but not all robes are bathrobes. A bathrobe is designed to be worn after bathing and is usually made from absorbent materials like terry cloth to help dry off. A robe, on the other hand, is a broader term for a loose-fitting garment used for lounging or dressing, and it may be made from non-absorbent, more decorative fabrics.
The best materials for bathrobes depend on their intended use. Cotton (especially Turkish or Egyptian) is highly absorbent and ideal for post-shower use, while terry cloth offers plush comfort and excellent water absorption. For a more luxurious feel, velour or silk robes provide softness and elegance, though they’re less practical for drying off. Bamboo blends are also popular for their eco-friendliness, breathability, and natural antibacterial properties.
At Lands’ End, we know that small things can have a big impact. And one of those things is adding a small personal touch to make a child feel special.
On our kids’ robes, we offer the ability to monogram, embroider or combine the two options. Look for the “Make it Personal” feature on each product description page. You can use this feature to monogram a single letter, your child’s initials, or their name onto the chest of the robe. Choose from a variety of different colors, font styles and designs.
