What is a dressing gown used for?
To answer the question “what is a dressing gown used for?”, let’s take a look at the garment’s origins.
Impeccable warmth and comfort made the robe a must-have piece in every fashionable gentleman’s wardrobe. The origins of the modern robe trace back to the 19th century, where banyans or Indian (or Persian) gowns were popular informal leisure garments for the upper class gentleman to wear at home. The garments used to have a loose kimono cut with open front and later changed to a coat-like silhouette with collar, buttons, pockets and waist-tie. What remained the same was the use of bold colors and ornamented fabrics.
Key characteristics of a dressing gown:
- Loose fit
- Materials such as silk jacquard, velvet, brocade, damask
- Decoration such as intricate patterns, piping, tassels, monogram embroidery
- Long sleeves
- Quilted shawl collar or lapels
