What to look for in a silk robe
Though it may seem obvious, the first thing to look for in a silk robe is that it’s actually made of silk. We know, we know—that should always be the case, but unfortunately, marketing can be misleading. All too often, roundups of the best silk robes for women curate satin robes, and while satin isn’t bad by any means, splurging on a silk robe means you deserve real silk. Tl;Dr: Check the materials list of your robe thoroughly.
Beyond looking for actual silk on the fabric list, consider the following:
Care
Be sure to check the care instructions for the silk robe, since proper care is essential for maintaining the quality and longevity of the fabric. Most silk robes need to be hand washed or dry cleaned, but some are washable, making them super convenient to care for. Whichever you go for, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for best results.
Style
You should also consider the length you’d prefer in your silk robe. Do you like a relatively short robe, hitting somewhere on your thigh, or would you rather your robe trail behind you as you walk (hello, Main Character!)—there are a variety of different robe lengths to choose from, and while we’ve rounded up some of each in this article, you’ll want to choose the robe that best fits the length you’ll actually wear in your daily life.
Weight and thickness
Silk momme (often abbreviated as “mm”) is a unit of measurement used to describe the weight and quality of silk material. It’s effectively thread count but for all things silky. Generally, higher momme silk is thicker, more durable, and more luxurious than lower momme silk. If you want something heavier, aim for a higher momme. If you want something thinner and more breathable, look for a lower momme.
Function
Finally, consider the features that are most important to you. Maybe you’re the one in your friend group always exclaiming “It has pockets!” about your latest fashion find—then pockets in your robe are essential. How durable do you need the tie or fastening to be? Will you mostly be lounging in the robe, or will you wear it around and need it to stay securely closed no matter what you’re doing? Every silk robe has something slightly different to offer, so consider what functionalities and features (even small details, like sleeve length or cuff style) you’d love most, and go from there.
