HOW TO STYLE A BATH ROBE COAT FOR TRANSITIONAL WEATHER?

One of more puzzling trends for Spring must be: the bath robe trend. It exists in many shapes and forms. Just like regular bath robes, these coats are made of different materials and come in different styles. Bath robe coats can give different vibes, from luxurious to relaxed ones. These bath robe coats sometimes come in silk and satin, while at other times they are made of wool or cotton. There was some confusion when the bath robe coat first appeared on the runaway. It was actually a few years ago, this is not the first season that it was introduced. However, this season we're seeing it around quite a bit, with a lot of celebrities choosing to wear this trend.

What to make of this trend? Will the bath robe trend become the new trench coat? It is hard to say. Nevertheless, it is easy to see the appeal of the bath robe trend. Coats cuts in this style are typically very cozy and comfy. If they are made from warmer materials, they make for perfect transitional pieces.  If you're not sure how to wear a bath robe coat, try to find a model that doesn't look exactly like a bath robe. The more the coat looks like an actual robe coat, the harder it will be to make it not look like one. 





To start with, you can look for a model that is a cross between the coat and the bath robe. Just so that people don't think you forgot to take your bathrobe when you got dresses in the morning. Details like buttons can make a difference. If coat has buttons and other details associated with coats, it might look less like a bathrobe. Still, no buttons is kind of the key for the trend so don't be afraid to forget about them. Colours and patterns are important as well.

Here I opted for a tartan coat, so in a way I embraced the bath robe trend even more. If you think about it, bath robes do come in this print, so if you want something a bit toned down, you might try a red bath robe inspired  coat. You don't see a lot of bath robes in red, right? Materials are another thing to consider. If you pick a silk bath robe coat, it will be easy to dress it up and down. You might dress it up with heels or pair it with. The lingerie trend is nothing new, so styling a silk or a satin bath robe coat shouldn't be that difficult. Many of them resemble kimonos, so that should make our life easier. Everyone knows how to wear kimono inspired garments by now, I should think.


Finally, remember that every item can be styled in a certain way. If you wear your bath robe coat with more dressier items (fancy bags and shoes), it will automatically look less like the item it was inspired by- that is a bath robe.Alternatively, you can play the casual vibe and wear it with skinny jeans and sneakers to get that model off duty look. Whatever you opt for, make sure you are comfortable wearing it. I think there is always a way to make an outfit feel more like 'us'. Making trends our own for me basically means adapting it to our style. That's the whole fun in trends for me, figuring out what could work for us and making it our own.





TRANSITIONAL STYLING

We all know that transitional styling is all about layering. Pair your bath robe coat with a blazer, (especially if it is made of lighter materials) to make sure you're warm enough. For this outfit, I styled my tartan bath robe coat with another long tartan blazer (and a dress under it). I opted for comfy high brown boots. It was a very comfy outfit and I don't think it looked too bad, either. What do you think? Have I pulled it off?




5 TIPS FOR ROCKING THE BATH ROBE TREND

1. Choose flattering colours and patters

This is something that always applies, but knowing what colours work for us is essential for rocking any outfit. The more the tones suit your skin type, the better you will look. When it comes to trendy pieces, choosing the colours you're already comfortable with can be such a game changer.

2. Opt for materials you already love 

It is easier to work with materials that you already know. For example, the silk bath robe coat is literally a twin of a kimono trend. So, if you have already rocked a long kimono cardigan, you will know how to wear this.

3. Don't forget about the accessories

Accessories can always change a look. Adding a faux fur scarf to the bath robe coat can completely transform the feel of it. Moreover, accessories play a big part in dressing up (or down) an outfit.

4. Be confident

Confidence is a big part of rocking any trend. If you wear something with confidence, you'll automatically look more attractive and put together. Be sure you're in a right frame of mind before you wear your bath robe coat. 

5.  Don't forget about a hair do and make up

The danger of wearing the bath robe coat lies in looking 'too much' like you've just rolled out of bed. That is why a nice hairdo can make a difference. Never underestimate the power of a good hairdo. Make up is another potent ally. I don't wear much make up myself, but I do believe in a power of lipstick.

Coat: no name/blazer: Uzor// boots: not sure

What do you think about the bath robe coat trend? Can it be that it is the new trench? How do you like this transitional styling? Well, this will be all for today. Thank you for reading. Have a nice day.

    It's a "trend"? Wearing a dressing gown as a coat has been a thing on the indie scene for years especially those 1950s paisley print Tricel men's ones by Tootal - me and my friends were doing it in the 1980s! The ones we have on our rails always sell really quickly especially at festivals as they add a bit of individuality to the ubiquitous Levi's shorts and vests most of the girls favour.
    It does makes me laugh how long it takes mainstream fashion shops to cotton on to streetwear looks.
    Your checked coat is lovely on you. x

      It is being presented as a 'trend', even if really it was on runaways for a while now and as you pointed out these kind of coats were around for ages. It does take forever for mainstream fashion to check out on streetwear looks, and sometimes I wish it wouldn't, so these streetwear style would feel unique. Today fashion is becoming more and more globalized.

    I'm not quite sure what I think about this bath robe coat trend. I did see quite a lot of people wearing bath robe coats and some of them did look great, but I haven't tried it myself. Maybe if I find the one I really like I'll be more into it. x

    That's a bathrobe? You styled it so well it's hard to believe that you are actually wearing one! This is perfect to wear for transitional weather. I don't have this in my wardrobe yet. I'm definitely going to hop onto the bandwagon with this. Thanks for sharing!

      thank you Maria. It's not an actual bathrobe just a coat that is cut in that style but it does resembles an actual bathrobe, I got to confirm that.

    You styled this coat really nicely. I've never really gotten on this trend since I tend to prefer coats that can button or zip up all the way since I tend to get cold really easily.

PLUS 30 WAYS TO WEAR A BABY BLUE DRESS AND LEOPARD HEELS (OUTFIT POST, MOSTAR)

Image
 Hello! In this post, I'll share a sustainable baby blue and leopard spring styling. A pale blue might not be the first choice with leopard, but why not? For me leopard print is sort of a classic. I actually love to pair it with all kinds of colours, from more vibrant ones to pales ones. In the past, I paired it with cobalt blue . I definitely do not feel that leopard should be worn only with neutral colours. I mean I paired leopard with white, grey and black clothing items often enough, but I love to pair it with something that pops, be it a coloured or pattern item. I do love patterns. So, it's not surprising that I love to mix patterns.  Back to my baby blue & leopard outfit. I wore it for an outing and I really enjoyed it. The best about is that it is sustainable. What do I mean by sustainable? Well,  I mean that I not only shopped my closet, but wore most of these items more than thirty times. Mostar is so beautiful in Spring, isn't it? I love strolling the city an

My Sights to see, places to visit feature would surely be missing something if I didn't include this little village Goranci in the list of places to visit. This charming little village is situated in the vicinity of Mostar.  I love to go there to espace the city heat.  If you are into cycling, you'd be happy to hear that you can rent a bike for free. You just need to leave your ID in the restaurant Goranci and you can take the bike. There is a wonderful cycling and pedestrian walk so be sure to check it out. As of recently, there is also a beautiful park at your disposal. This park is growing daily as new things are added to it(toys for kids and that sorts of stuff). If you look closely, you'll be able to see that some decorative trees are still being planted at the enterance to this park.  You can read some of my previous posts about this village here , here and here .

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

VISIT THE MAGNIFICENT MOUNTAIN LAKE BLIDINJE WITH ME!

Image
Nature Park Blidinje hides a gem of great beauty: magical lake Blidinje. In the presence of this lake, I found myself overwhelmed by a feeling of complete calmness, perhaps for the first time in many days. Enchanted by its beauty, I walked into the lake. While standing in the lake and gazing into the mountains in the distance, I had a feeling that the time itself halted and the great clock of life stood still. It was a kind of mythical experience, when you feel yourself both small and great before the immense and overwhelming natural beauty.  I have always loved mountains, being surrounded by them my all life. Still, there is always something surreal about a mountain lake, a particular kind of beauty. A feeling of sacredness came over me. So many people regard mountains as sacred and I can understand why. Gazing at them while the wind played with my hair, and the sun stroked my skin, awoke a particular feeling inside if me, a state of tranquility, you might say. I believe this fee

What To See and Do in Hutovo Blato Nature Park in Summer? Exploring Bosnia and Herzegovina's Hidden Gems #1

Image
What you know, Europe still has its fair share of secret spots! Seeing these photographs, you'd think I was somewhere in a tropical jungle of some sorts, but you'd be wrong as these images were taken in Hutovo blato , a nature park and bird reservoir located in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is quite close to border with Croatia, so if you're visiting our Adriatic coast, do consider stopping by here as well.  Hutovo Blato is mostly composed of marshlands (wetlands) and it is a stunning natural area to visit. The photographs I'm sharing today were taken a year ago, the last time I visited this bird & nature park during summer. My visits to this nature park have been numerous indeed. The reasons for that is very simple: I really like it there. So, today I wanted to share with you all the things I love about this park and inform you about all the fun things you can do there during the summer. In case you don't already know about it, Hutovo Blato has a lot to offer. T

OZZ STUDENTS' FASHION SHOW, MENTOR FASHION DESIGNER STANKA ZOVKO (MOSTAR INTERNATIONAL FAIR)

EN  Hello! Today I'm happy to share with you a wonderful fashion show I attended last Friday at Mostar International Fair. As you might remember, I regularly visit Mostar International Fair.  Anyhow, this time I was there to see and support a  really special fashion show. This fashion show showed creations from students who attended a fashion sewing and design course held by designer Stanka Zovko. If you remember, a few years back  I attended this sewing and design course myself. I was invited to present my creations as well. I couldn't participate myself this year due to previous engagements, but who knows maybe next year I'll get the chance. How amazing would it be to participate as a fashion designer? Still, I'm sure you can imagine how excited I was just to  attend this fashion show and see all the designs.  It was such a terrific experience. HR Zdravo! Danas sa zadovoljstvom mogu podijeliti s vama prekrasnu modnu reviju kojoj sam prisustvovala prošlog petka na Međ

Hello, how are you doing? How is Autumn treating you? Unfortunately, I cannot say that I'm doing very well. I'm dealing with a lot of chronic pain due to Chron illness. Getting medical help in the pandemic is not easy. Those of you who have chronic and immune illnesses know what I'm talking about. Not an easy time for us.

Today I will share two destinations perfect for strolling and two 'strolling friendly' outfits with you. Čapljina and Buna are great destinations for strolling around, walking and hiking. Both of them are in Herzegovina.  I'll share two sporty floral outfits with you, both of them featuring an iconic pair of Startas sneakers. I love this Croatian brand.
