Do you own a dressing gown?

[Orang Utan]

Maybe what we have all/most got, is actually a bath robe? What is a dressing gown?

I think it’s more wispy than a bath robe, which is usually made from towling

 

[Clair De Lune]

The opposite!

Only teasing Mr. How you relax is your business. I think I was inspired by Withnails manky gown

Urban seems to have a high rate of kimono ownership.

Real authentic kimonos cost thousands cos they’re only made by a family firm who’ve been making them for hundreds of years, and they take ages to make, so you either have to have a lot of influence or be on a long waiting list to get one

Dressing gowns are less absorbent, more fluffy and more likely to need fabric conditioner imo.

So Urban's going to be 70-75% faux kimonos, I would guess.

Amongst the pre-teens & teens in my life oodies /cheap version off are all the rage. An oodie is a very oversized hoodie.

Get dressed after showering as soon as I get out of bed

For some reason the messageboard has lumped these two together because they're both from you.

Kimonos don't have to be authentic and expensive to be kimonos. It's just a style of dressing gown.

Is this unusual? Can’t do owt if I haven’t had a shower on my days off, so am dressed as soon as I’ve had a shower. If I’m working, I get up, brush my teeth and get on my bike to get to work.

I think most people like to lounge around a bit on days off, and often the house is a bit too chilly to walk around in the nude. Do you make your poor Dad avert his eyes?

A bath robe is a subset of dressing gown, the umbrella term that also includes kimonos. If you're American a dressing gown is a subset of bathrobe. But either way, we all know the kind of thing we're talking about, and almost all of us do own them.

I can conclusively tell the Americans they're wrong, hah!

I did say "kimono" style dressing gown. I don't have an actual proper kimono, didn't claim to have one, and if I did I would not be using it for lounging around on the sofa.

Fauxmonos.

My daughter has one and I covet it desperately

 

[Miss-Shelf]

I have seen evidence of lots of comfy velour winter dressing gowns with hoods this year when I've video called my students

I've also seen one racy baby doll nightie but I was trying not to look so I'm not sure if there was a dressing down with it

 

[Raheem]

Fauxmonos

Kimnonos

 

[friendofdorothy]

I have 2 kimono type things

 

[hash tag]

Two. Summer one and winter one. Classy.

100% for sure

I don’t really understand the concept tbh. I only ever leave my room dressed in undies if I’m to fetch something hanging on the clothes horse that needs to be worn.

"Tsk, tsk, that's a terrible thing to do, young lady." Will that do?

100% for sure

Not even the mods????

You have an ensuite?

Oui! Live in a modern flat with bathrooms adjourning both bedrooms

Well.... You know most people don't, right?

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh yes, but that doesn’t explain why people wear them on other occasions aside from scurrying from bathroom to bedroom.

 

[planetgeli]

Own one? I practically live in one. Big, soft, fluffy, dark blue.

Apart from the other stuff people have mentioned in this thread?

Lounging? Aye, just not in that gear

No dressing gown, no pyjamas

I am pretty much the opposite, I only get dressed in "outdoor clothes" if I really really have to go out. I'm mildly autistic and find a lot of clothes desperately constraining and uncomfortable, I have cats that always want to be on or near me so I have found being completely au naturel at home is impractical due to them bouncing off me like a trampoline when they are having a funny five minutes, or turning round and round to settle down (so I need to have some fabric between their feet and my skin), but I am certainly not going to sit around at home in going out clothes. The range of PJs and loungewear has expanded massively over the last year and I am bloody revelling in it

 

[Spymaster]

Same. If I do hang around the house without getting properly dressed, I'll be in a t-shirt and shorts, or joggers.

"Faux kimono" has got "My Sharona" stuck in my head

Even though I’ve had cats in my life for most of my life, I’ve never been a good seat for a cat as I can’t stay still long enough for them to relax. maybe I’m a dog person who just never had the chance
