I also have this robe in an animal print that I love. It really is getting a lot of use this winter.

I love a good cozy robe and have several, but even the best of them only comes mid-calf on me. I use them when I get out of a nice hot bath, and sometimes put them on after drying off when I shower, but I don't run around the house in a robe for warmth.

Well, Jules, there are robes for everything! ${#emotions_dlg.biggrin}$ I have about 6 fleece and terry robes that I alternate for showering. I get out wet and do the towel turban on my head.

Then, for "around the house" lounging, I have about 5 robes- four fleece lined and one velour robe, because who wants to wear a wet robe around the house? ${#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}$

The key is to have different versions for showering/lounging.

You might have good luck with men's robes, if you are tall and can't find what you need in ladies' robes.

This men's version of my robe, for example, also comes in talls.

Thanks Lola, that looks very comfy. It sounds like you have a well-rounded robe wardrobe (try saying that fast 5x lol). Don't get me wrong, I love robes and would run around in one all day if I could, it's just not practical for me taking care of my dad. I used to be that girl that would buy the matching robe to every nightie or pj set. I have a huge wardrobe of silk and satin robes that would rival VS, some still have tags on them ${#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}$ The comfy robes with the velvet soft lining are the best though, or the soft terry cloth robes, and are mandatory after a bath or shower, then of course you have to change into the warm and dry comfy robe, because like you said... sitting around in a wet robe is not cool. In my next life, I don't care what I do, I just want to be wealthy enough to lounge around in a comfy robe all day. Bliss. Smile
