Spa Bathrobes – Halfway Between Dressed and Not Dressed

Spa bathrobes are popular and are used so often because they are a unique item of clothing that fills in the gap between ‘dressed’ and ‘not dressed’.  There are many situations in life where you would feel a little bit strange wearing your pajamas but you don’t want to get fully dressed. Spa bathrobes are the perfect in-between option for these moments because they are more formal than pajamas but they are less work than actually getting dressed.

Examples of These Halfway Situations

What sorts of situations warrant this look that is halfway between getting dressed and wearing sleepwear? One example is when you quickly leave the house to perform a chore outside, such as taking out the recycling bin, picking up the mail or heading to the laundry room of your apartment complex. Although you are visible to the outside world, you are still within a very short distance to your home and therefore this situation is considered semi-private. You would look very strange doing this in your underwear or in your sleepwear, but wearing a bathrobe makes it more acceptable.

Another situation is when a guest surprises you unannounced and you don’t have time to dress before opening the door. Wearing spa bathrobes is acceptable in this situation and protects your modesty. You can welcome your guest into your home, make them a drink and then excuse yourself to go get dressed. Neither you nor your guest will be embarrassed by the spa bathrobes, but both of you would likely be if you answered the door in your sleepwear or in your underwear.

Sometimes, depending on how well you know the other members of your household, eating breakfast can be another one of these in-between situations that spa bathrobes are perfect for. This makes things convenient when you just want to eat before getting ready.
