On warm mornings, after a shower or during a quiet evening, you do not want a heavy bathrobe around you. A women's summer bathrobe feels light on your skin, drapes smoothly and gives just enough comfort without feeling stuffy.

Whether you are looking for a women's summer dressing gown, an airy summer robe or a summery peignoir: in our collection — see Alle badjassen — you will more easily find a style that suits your moment. Think breathable fabric, a comfortable length and a fastening that feels right.

How to choose a lightweight bathrobe for warm days

A good summer bathrobe is mainly about balance. The fabric should be airy enough for warm weather, but also feel comfortable when you have just stepped out of the shower. So do not just look at the style, but also at how quickly the fabric dries, how smoothly the style falls and how much coverage you like.

• Choose a thin, breathable fabric for more airiness.
• Pay attention to the fastening: a tie closure feels looser, while a zip offers extra convenience.
• Decide which length suits you, from short to a long style, and if you are unsure check the Maattabel.
• Look at practical details such as pockets, a hood or short sleeves.

Cotton, waffle fabric and other lightweight materials

A women's cotton summer bathrobe is an obvious choice for many women. Cotton feels soft, breathes well and is lovely after washing or showering. Waffle fabric is also popular if you are looking for a lightweight, quick-drying bathrobe. If you are still unsure about Materialen voor een badjas that feel best in summer, cotton and waffle fabric are often a good place to start. If you prefer something more flowing and feminine, a summery kimono or peignoir is a lovely choice for relaxed mornings, holidays or a cool evening outside.

Kimono, zip-up bathrobe or a long style

The style largely determines how your bathrobe feels. A kimono is open and lightweight, and is ideal if you want plenty of freedom of movement. A women's summer bathrobe with a zip feels a bit more secure and is handy if you like to wear something closed. If you want more coverage, a long women's summer bathrobe can be very comfortable, as long as the fabric stays thin and airy. On really warm days, short sleeves are often extra comfortable.

When do you wear a summer dressing gown or robe?

You do not only wear a thin summer dressing gown after getting up. It is also nice after showering, on holiday, in the sauna or as an extra layer on a cool summer evening. Because a lightweight bathrobe has less bulk than a winter style, it is also easier to take in your bag or suitcase. That makes a women's summer bathrobe a practical choice for home and on the go.

Frequently asked questions about summer bathrobes

What is the difference between a summer bathrobe and a regular bathrobe?

A summer bathrobe is usually thinner, lighter and airier. That makes it feel less warm than a thick terry cloth or fleece bathrobe and more comfortable on warm days.

Is cotton suitable for a women's summer dressing gown?

Yes, especially if you like a soft, breathable fabric that feels comfortable after showering. In warm weather, preferably choose a lighter cotton or a waffle texture. For lasting comfort, washing your bathrobe properly is also important.

Should I choose a summer bathrobe with a zip or a tie?

That depends on your preference. A tie fastening feels looser and more classic, while a zip offers extra convenience and is less likely to open while you are moving.

Is a long summer robe too warm?

Not necessarily. A long style can actually be very comfortable as long as the fabric stays thin. If you want it to feel as airy as possible, choose a lightweight fabric and possibly short sleeves.
