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

    A me piacciono tantissimo questi cappotti, li trovo così chic e disimpegnati!
    Il tuo poi ha anche una bellissima stampa e mi piace anche molto il contrasto con la fantasia della camicia sotto!
    Stai davvero bene e sei super stilosa! :)

    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.

    The coat you wear is really great, and it looks perfect with the brown boots. And it's like you say: each of us has to choose the style of jacket that suits him best.

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 ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o...
